The Irish Red Cross Society is an independent statute based charitable organisation with full power to manage its own affairs. The Minister for Defence does not get involved in the day-to-day running of its affairs. Furthermore, the Geneva Convention places an obligation on Governments to protect the independence of national Red Cross organisations.

Issues relating to disciplinary procedures within the Irish Red Cross Society are a matter for the parties thereto, each of whom can receive independent legal advice as to their rights and entitlements.
