Three Console Directors Did Not Know They Were on Board

The three directors of charity Console who were not family members of founder Paul Kelly had never met each other and did not even know they were directors.The three are the only remaining directors of the charity since Mr Kelly’s wife Patricia and his sister Joan McKenna resigned last week.
However, they have no experience as directors, no information on the organisation’s finances and never previously attended a board meeting. All three were asked to be directors arising from their involvement in the suicide prevention work of Console in different parts of the country, according to an interim report on the current state of the charity.
