    Paul Cassidy denying the Aontas report was written by a member of the exec!

    Says it's an independent report

    And who commissioned it and how much did it cost and why isn't it in the treasurer's report (side note: independent technical IT reports prepared by professionals are not cheap - you're talking five to six to seven figure sums depending on the complexity of the system and the speed of preparation...)

    If he has any decency he will resign when the vote reinstating Orr is passed.

    I'm starting to think the exec need to have some sort of bold text or tag so we all know when they're members of the exec and when they're not because apparently what they're doing no longer matters :rolleyes:

    The big question is will any of the new exec refuse to work with Andrew.

    Really bad idea. For starters then we would be onliged to get audited financial statements done. Bye bye to a big chunk of our revenue but OK, maybe we can stop supporting our juniors.

    I know you have not been around Irish chess that long Sparks (since this forum was setup I believe). If you had been then you would know that incompetence is the one consistent factor on the ICU. An incorporated body is also far more likely to get both get itself into trouble and to get sued than the non descript body that is the ICU.

    Thanks for the updates from the hall posters. Sunday night in Cambodia and the small matter of the French to take care of. Heading to my local French bar.

    I'm a director of a charity and we get our accounts audited yearly. Doesn't cost a whole lot but then our secretary has over 40 years of management consultancy and accounting behind him and knows what needs to be provided to the auditor.

    So does all this mean that Mirza will be banned from every ICU competition or are the new Exec going to reconcile with him?

    I think the onus is on him to be a good boy. There's an old saying "give him enough rope and he'll ...." Well you know the rest.

    I'm sure the new executive will be willing to work with and reconcile anyone who is involved with Irish chess as required and in a constructive manner. It may not have been the intention of the above posts to suggest that they won't but the tone of the posts may (unintentionally) suggest that.

    As has been said my previous posters in the last week an organisation such as the ICU should have everyone working together and I have confidence that the new executive will facilitate that and work with anybody who has a contribution to make.
