Scouting Ireland votes no-confidence in its own board

A separate motion was made for the recognition that the board of directors has re-positioned Scouting Ireland as a staff-led organisation contrary to the wishes of the members.

The AGM of Scouting Ireland has voted no confidence in the board of the organisation over the way it has handled disciplinary issues.

The vote, which came in the wake of tensions between volunteers and professional members of staff, returned a result of 55% in favour of the no-confidence motion and 45% against.
