Mon 05 May 2010Former chief of equality body details events leading to his resignation
FORMER CHIEF executive of the Equality Authority Niall Crowley has claimed an attempt was made to remove him four and a half years before he eventually resigned in protest at the halving of the authority’s budget.
The claim comes in a book just published by Mr Crowley, Empty Promises: Bringing the Equality Authority to Heel, in which he outlines the history of the body and the events that led to his resignation in December 2008, and those of six members of the board. He describes various areas of tension between the authority and its sponsoring department, the Department of Justice, during his tenure.
