Book excerpt: "Apart from elected local authorities, there are almost 250 public service bodies operating at sub-national level in Ireland, Using data from a survey of these bodies conducted during 2006, this study provides an original analysis of the governance arrangements for these non-commercial local and regional organisations across a range of themes - including finance, policy, HR and accountability." "As well as presenting an account of the various types of local and regional organisation, the report also identifies the multiple relationships between them and central government. Comparisons are made with previous research conducted for the Committee for Public Management Research which considered the role of non-commercial bodies operating at national level (Research Report No. 6)." "Having examined in detail the current landscape of sub-national governance in Ireland, this report also presents recommendations for its future development across a number of corporate governance issues."--BOOK JACKET.
