I feel ancient.......
I'm not on council any more and the proceedings are kept on a need to know exactly to protect the reputation of both those bringing the complaints and those accused (innocent until proven guilty!), so I don't have any idea of total numbers.
The way that the system (as I understand it) has been set up is that if a matter which would be of a disciplinary nature is raised with IFA and the person alleging the infraction does not want to be named/involved, then the IFA will take up the matter (usually through a nominated member of council). This has not always been the case, however.
It is also important to point out that this and very many other vital changes had to be approved by the membership and the turnout of votes on these matters is often, to say the least, appalling. This makes it very difficult for the IFA to move forward in the way many of us wish it to. I'm still in it for the same reason I joined, it's far from perfect but it's never going to change if no-one joins/jumps up and down/ gets involved. Which is why I said that I also thought it was a shame that BAJR felt he had to resign from the organisation. I get very frustrated sometimes too!
Out of interest, bearing in mind the way that IFA have tried to get round an individual bringing a case, if this isn't working, what's an alternative? Any ideas?
