Re: Seanie Should Stand for Election
+1 on that! I actually made a proposal to the Canoe Slalom committee at their last AGM that they should be actively pursuing the intervarsities champs and help run the slalom event for them. When Benny ran the intervarsities slalom for UCD (apologies again Kieran) it was the biggest slalom event in ...

Re: Rush to select a new Canoe Union CEO/GM
Hmmmmmm..........this tastes horrendous...... I f*cking hate humble pie....... Looks like Seanie's claims may have some merit...... Obviously, the fact that Seanie seems to have better information than I do is embarassing..... This post by Brendan is far more worrying to me than the fact that they'...

Re: Canoe Ireland Wishlist
Was posting on another thread when this one started. Just to synopsise some suggestions for Canoeing Ireland which i've read and agree with: 1) Reduce its reliance on ISC funding. 2) Increase transparency at board level by publishing board meeting minutes. 3) Allow official representation for recrea...

Re: Seanie Should Stand for Election
I would echo the sentiments of roshaw_87 with regards to having members of the board on here openly debating issues in canoeing! Its great to have an open dialogue about our vision for the future of the sport. I think 99% of the people on this forum have canoeings best interest at heart. Regarding t...

Re: ICU AGM Motions
I'm confused over Article 45! Could we get Seanie's account of what the current situation is? I've read Seanie's account of the Kilcullen AGM and from what is described, Article 45 was scrapped and Brendan O'Connell was forced to step down because he was nominated under the "old" system when it did ...

Re: ICU AGM Motions
Any motion which increases transparency in our sport can only be a good thing. I think publication of the minutes of board and executive meetings should be mandatory! I'd even stretch it to technical committee meetings too. www.Canoe.ie should have individual pages for each discipline where technica...

Re: "Urgent Update from Concerned ICU Members"
Fact I'm just after attempting for the second time to read through that email and it is so poorly structured and confusing that i gave up once again. Fact Writing FACT in bold font at the start of every point does not in my opinion form the basis of a coherent arguement, especially when many of the...

Re: "Urgent Update from Concerned ICU Members"
I have it on good authority that committee of Salmon Leap submitted a letter to the ICU executive last week, withdrawing their support for an EDM. I would imagine that several of the other clubs which signed the original petition have or will also withdraw their support. Following the successful Hig...

Re: A New ICU
Apologies about the delay posting! I think Sean makes some excellent suggestions regarding a reform of the Canoe Union. However i think we are far from out of the woods yet with regards to the currently suspended CEO and talk of a complete reform in governance may be a bit premature! The decision by...

Re: FW: Response to ICU statement
Bottom line; if you think that Mick's actions as outlined in the statement is acceptable you quite simply have a fucked up set of morals regardless of what the law says. +1 on that! We can argue the minor details til we're blue in the face but the simple fact is this; Mick falsified his employment ...

Re: FW: Response to ICU statement
I said there are company law requirements that require directors remuneration to be disclosed in the financial statements and that they should comply with this. I also said that there are accounting standards that require related party transactions to be disclosed. So from that, you concluded I was...

Re: FW: Response to ICU statement
Two independent sources have identified the voice at 1140 on that mp3 as being Dermot Hudson from Salmon Leap! Have you had a listen to it? I know your own voice can sound all funny when its played back on a recording but is that not you that starts talking at 1140? The chairman refers to a person a...
