Summary

The AGM of the Retired Civil and Public Servants Association will take place on 12 December after a High Court case brought by trustees Mary Farrell, Frank O'Dwyer and Matthew Ryan was resolved. The trustees had claimed the governing council had refused to allow them to raise several motions on financial and corporate management, including travel expenses and audit matters, and said they were being "gagged". The council denied the claims. The court heard that after extensive out‑of‑court discussions the parties reached an agreement. The settlement allows the trustees' motions and a report to be re‑worded and presented at the AGM, and the order of business will be amended accordingly. The matter was adjourned for two weeks to implement the settlement, and the judge welcomed the outcome. The association, founded in 1945, has over 8,000 members from organisations such as An Post, Coillte and Teagasc.
