Internal dispute sees 16 leave Donegal cancer action group

A NUMBER of high-profile members have quit one of the country’s most successful cancer lobby groups following an internal row.

Sixteen members resigned after the executive committee of Donegal Action for Cancer Care (DACC) decided to approve a fact- finding mission to the United States without putting the matter to a formal vote.

Noelle Duddy, former chair of the DACC, and secretary of the research and policy sub-committee, said the organisation’s constitution was not adhered to by the executive committee.
