ICA to submit proposals to resolve action
Summary
In a High Court case involving the Irish Countrywomen's Association (ICA), Judge Úna Ní Raifeartaigh directed the ICA's lawyers to submit proposals by Tuesday to address concerns raised by Ms Patrica Madden, a 39‑year member who has represented herself. Madden has obtained a temporary injunction preventing the ICA from filling vacancies on its Board, including national president, treasurer, secretary and regional presidents, after alleging that the 2018 national elections were conducted in breach of the ICA constitution. She claims the ballot papers were sent to the wrong people and that the ICA failed to conduct a proper postal vote at the AGM in May. The ICA's counsel, Frank Beatty SC, acknowledged that two temporary appointments were made to keep the organisation running, but no further appointments will be made until the case is heard. The judge set a deadline for proposals and indicated that if they are not accepted, the case will be listed for hearing next Wednesday.
