Dublin Simon in crisis over no-confidence vote

DUBLIN’S largest homelessness charity was in crisis last night following the passing of a no-confidence motion in the board during a heated meeting attended by hundreds of staff, volunteers and service users.

One Dublin Simon board member said he was shocked following Thursday night’s vote, effectively in support of dismissed former chief executive Greg Maxwell.

Mr Maxwell supporters tabled the no-confidence motion in the five-member board, which is to meet next week to decide whether to stand down.
