I think the easiest way would be to show smallest number of euros per live saved, and charities which have minimal to do with saving lives wouldn’t be considered useful at all. Givewell.orgs’ charity list seems like the best one to promote, as for charities which work within Ireland, that would be more difficult.
It would be more about informing than enforcing. There are already rules here which make registered charities show where their money goes, so a mechanism for comparing effectiveness wouldn’t be a big leap.

That’s a rather… extreme attitude.
So you want a government policy which explicitly says that charities which do not directly save lives are worthless?

I submit that an official government definition of what constitutes the effectiveness of a charity would be a huge leap.
