‘Campaign to blacken’ credit union bosses

THE chairman of a credit union that fired its two managers for misconduct has been accused of orchestrating a campaign to blacken their names.

In the High Court yesterday, Con O’Leary, chairman of the board of directors of Gurranabraher Credit Union in Cork, was accused of being “the driver behind the allegations” which eventually led to the dismissal of manager Alec Good and deputy manager Patricia O’Neill last December 17.

Mr Good and Ms O’Neill are opposing a move by the credit union to have an injunction preventing the filling of their posts lifted.
