With a Barrister on the Board they Still managed to break the Law Regarding the Stautory Trust Fund Bill this gets worse all the time??
Francis Traynor needs to removed Immediately!
He is Barrister for Right Of Place and Never lifted a Finger to Challenge the Unconstitutional Indemnity Deal
Right Of Place Negotiated and Accepted Redress on Behalf of Survivors with his Assistance as far as I'm Aware??
The government employed these people so the government should be paying them. We complained about this group from the start but it was forced on us.
Hi All, with five of the same board members returning nothing much will change as these will be the force on the board and all will follow the lead of the CEO Mary Higgins. They have not stood up for survivors for what they took the positions to up hold and protect the rights of survivors and to protect our interests.
