They Haven’t Quangone Away, You Know

JUST OVER a third of the 48 State agencies earmarked for abolition or merger in 2012 will have completed the process by the end of the year.

Last November, the Government published a list of 48 bodies which it said would be rationalised by the end of 2012, including the National Roads Authority; the Railway Procurement Agency; the employment rights bodies; the State’s galleries, libraries and museums; the Equality Authority; and the Irish Human Rights Commission.

Detailed information disclosed by the relevant Government department in response to queries by The Irish Times has shown that only 17 of the 48 abolitions will have been completed by the end of 2012.

No doubt a quasi autonomous non governmental agency will be set up to look into this.
