While I am away in Croatia, I just knew such a topic would emerge. However, there is nothing within the original post that I would per ce disagree with. :face-huh:
I have seen and heard too much to find words to say... ah but...
Your post was very considered, and did not (IMHO) bash the IFA. But as you say, there is no-one watching the watcher.. which does allow for the question... where is the independant complaints commission? In many ways, what my own experience showed, was that decisions could be taken, with no comeback, and no real appeal... after all, what is the point of appealing when the same people are going to look at the appeal? An independant commission, would be a good step forward... and perhaps give the IFA credibility. A look at what they do, and spend on these consultations, travels and fact finding missions... is this for the member (whose money it is) or for the organisation?
Even while on the council, it was hard to get answers to questions... even if you knew what questions to ask...
:face-huh:
Please... for my sake, keep this topic in the spirit of the first poster.. considered, polite and looking for solutions....
thanks
