‘Evolved To Ensure That The Buck Stops Nowhere’

at

Minister for Justice Charlie Flanagan

Jennifer Bray, in The Times Ireland edition, reports:

The Department of Justice is to split into two divisions after a report found that its structure had led to a situation where “the buck stops nowhere”.

The reforms follow a series of scandals, most recently the discovery of emails about the treatment of Maurice McCabe, the garda whistleblower, at a commission of investigation.

…It added: “It is as if the system has naturally evolved to ensure that the buck stops nowhere.”

    move the pieces around on the chess board. All optics and back to normal in a few months.

    So now the buck can stop in the other division. Whichever one is not investigating. Who will say it’s the other divisions fault. And so on.

      Correct no buck will stop anywhere it will go into the fiscal space of government
      All this is going to do is make the department bigger sorry the split department resulting in it bigger
      Staff will be hired
      Staff moved and given disturbance payoffs
      New offices rented
      New stationery note headings new tire of management, and for what?
      More waste of taxpayers money and no accountability

    If a similar investigation were done in every other department of the civil service does anyone think the findings would be any different?

    “It is as if the system has naturally evolved to ensure that the buck stops nowhere.”

    The same can probably be said of all Irish government departments.

    So Charlie Flanno is going to change things around so that the buck stops with him. HA.
    There should be a clear out of that department after their McCabe shenanigans. Not a restructure. Sackings.

    Deputy Flanagan, if this departmental restructuring does NOT work, what will you do then, will you try again with the smoke and mirrors , or just move department yourself maybe? Is there a cabinet re-shuffle on the way I wonder?

    Lets see how you handle the fully loaded Mp7 and ammo falling out of a police car scandal. Was that automatic machine gun even missed?
