Adoption Authority loses second chief executive in 15 months

THE ADOPTION Authority has lost its second chief executive in just over a year after Elizabeth Canavan resigned just five months in the job.

Ms Canavan’s predecessor John Collins left as chief of the then Adoption Board in July of last year and was not replaced until last April, when Ms Canavan took over.

She is not the only person to have left the Adoption Authority since it replaced the Adoption Board in November of last year.
