The Irish Country Woman's Association was ordered by the High Court to hold fresh elections, reported on 31 July 2018. The ruling followed problems with ballots cast for its national executive.

Ms Justice Úna Ní Raifeartaigh said the elections should take place within two months, with results announced before 30 September. Existing executive members could remain in place until the new election, while motions providing for a caretaker arrangement breached the organisation's constitution.
