Christy McCann will not chair EGM of upcoming meeting of Scouting Ireland

The Chief Scout of Scouting Ireland Christy McCann has said he will not chair the upcoming extraordinary general meeting as it is 'not the best solution' given the current difficulties in the youth organisation.

Speaking on the Sean O'Rourke show on RTÉ Radio 1, Mr McCann said that he has signed a letter of resignation from the Board of Scouting Ireland and will follow through with that if the Board does stand down at its next meeting on September 30.
