Jerry King of IMPACT’s Mayo branch has been elected to serve as the union’s president for the next two years. The election took place at IMPACT’s recent biennial delegate conference, which elected a new team of officers.
Pat Fallon (Sligo branch) was elected as senior vice president along with vice presidents Margaret Coughlan (Wicklow Health branch), Paddy Quinn (Community Employment Supervisors’ branch) and Ruth Robinson (Dublin Care Services branch).
Tara Robertson (Dublin City branch) and Maeve McCarthy Barrett (Cork branch) were re-elected as treasurer and secretary respectively. They are joined by Patricia Fanning (North Dublin/North Leinster SNAs branch), elected as equality officer, and Siobhan Ní Griofa in the new role of health and safety officer.
The nine officers join the union’s Central Executive Committee (CEC), which also includes representatives from each of the union’s divisions (civil service, health, education, local government, municipal employees and services and enterprises) plus immediate past president Kevin O’Malley. The CEC is elected to manage and conduct the union’s affairs, subject to policies agreed at its biennial delegate conference.
The union’s elected positions are unpaid.
