Joint Committee On Health
Mental Health Services: Samaritans Ireland
Mr. Rory Fitzgerald:
Since each branch is a company limited by guarantee, meaning it has a number of trustees or company directors, we are trying to encourage branches to bring in more external people for those roles. This would help to add to our skill sets. This was not done traditionally. Any board should have perhaps 30% external membership. This is something that I will try to promote over the coming years to widen our net. It will also increase our reach into local communities.
