Text

The Nolan principles exist to ensure that those who govern act solely in the public interest. The principles include avoiding obligations to outside individuals or organisations that might influence official duties; making decisions based on merit; being accountable to the public for actions and decisions; declaring private interests; and resolving conflict to protect the public interest. How can the public be assured of compliance with those principles when the Minister appoints a former IRA prisoner and a former Sinn Féin Minister to the same board?
