ICMSA Council must be under 70 years
Rule changes endorsed at the ICMSA AGM reduce the average age of the National Council, and provide a more uniform regional structure in the central executive. There was strong approval for the changes by the membership at the AGM at Limerick.
For the first time, a retiring age of 70 has been introduced for the National Council (to which members are elected, based on the strength of membership in each county).
Existing members of Council who are over 70 or reach 70 in the next two years can complete their current term of office, which must not exceed two years. In future, members must retire at 70.
Rule changes also provide for two members from each province on the ICMSA Executive Committee, with the President and Deputy President making up the 10 member executive — an increase of one which provides equal representation for each province, for the first time.
