It sounds like you need an Act of Parliament to change aspects of the constitutional status of the President's position.

The fact he is a 'political appointee' is in itself a bad thing. Members should have the decisive influence over who leads their organisation. The fact his appointment is 'for life' is OUTRAGEOUS. It should also be legally compulsory that CCE accounts be published and open for inspection by anyone.

Lobby your TD's. Find some good fellow who will push legislation forward to change the things about CCE that are obviously intolerable.
