Last weekend, I delivered my letter of resignation from the Executive and Council of the Consumers Association of Ireland to the Chairman (James Doorley), Chief Executive (Dermott Jewell) and to my fellow Council members.
In my letter of resignation, I communicated my two key reasons for leaving which I will return to here in a future post.
Update 1: Since I originally composed this post, two more directors have resigned from the Consumers Association of Ireland. That’s 20% of the Associations Council (or one third of the Executive) resigning before even the first Coucil meeting of the new term.
Update 2: Paul Cullen, the Irish Times Consumer Affairs Correspondent, has covered the 3 resignations from the CAI in Saturdays edition - click here to read more. You can see some of the reasons for the resignations there, but I will return to this again soon also.

In early December, I mentioned here how James Doorley had become the new chairman of the Consumer Association of Ireland.
James now has a new Irish Consumerist blog to which he has recently started publishing, though the blog does have the following disclaimer:
All comments and views expressed here are my own and do not represent nor should not be considered to be the views/opinions/policy of the Consumers’ Association of Ireland, unless expressly stated.

Press Release here announcing the new Chairman of the Consumer Association of Ireland who took office last week.
For more details about James and his background, check out this Wiki.
James takes over from Micheal Kilcoyne who will become the new vice-chairman. And again, declaring my interests here again, I am still a member of the Council, and was re-elected to the Executive for another year.
