Self Help group solve internal dispute with appointment of new chairman

THE long-running dispute between the board members of a charity specialising in farmer-to-farmer aid was resolved last night with the appointment of a new chairman.

Former chairman of Glanbia Tom Corcoran was unanimously elected as the new chairman of Self Help Development International, with former chairman Liam Reynolds taking the position of vice-chairman.

Members of Self Help also agreed to the appointment of an outside chairman to oversee a governance review and seek submissions from a broad range of stakeholders and interested parties.
