Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

In the case of commercial State bodies, there will be a specific requirement that the credentials of everybody to be appointed be vetted outside the political process. From an internal point of view, I have removed authority from Fine Gael Party headquarters in respect of validation, assessment and appointment of candidates. I will also move to implement the structures we adopted in Cork just a few weeks ago.
