The Ministers comments and attention on this matter is much appreciated by the many people who wish to see Irish Red Cross re-organised so that it can restore its reputation, operational capacity and public support to help those in need.
Because there is certain apparent reluctance by Irish Red Cross to change, it needs not only to change statutes, policies and procedures but to change personnel so that integrity and confidence can be restored. So many of those at the top of governance remain in control.
It is important that there is a complete independent review of those issues (Tipperary Bank A/c, Wardwick whistleblower issues, property portfolio, etc) which have been highlighted. Without that review it will not be possible to move on with the necessary re-organisation.
