The problem is that even Red Cross delegates in the field do not have access to audited accounts or to project management accounts which could provide for accountability to beneficiaries, donors and implementors. In the case of hospital reconstruction in Sri Lanka; it would be interesting to know if the money was channelled through SLRCS, the International Federation or if financial control was under direct IRC control. Those who were close to the RC/RC operation in Sri Lanka would know how difficult it was to achieve transparent contracted construction. Those who would question the IRC integrity are likely to be more concerned with their responsibilities to the poor and to the kind donors or involuntary taxpayers than to the organisation which has understandably lost trust.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012489272112463047.post-7350135381943070822010-09-03T13:08:47.470-07:002010-09-03T13:08:47.470-07:00I have see first hand in Sri Lanka the excellant w...I have see first hand in Sri Lanka the excellant work of the Irish RC in post Tsunami hospital reconstruction. The dedication and committment of Irish RC delegates and national staff is exemplary. Irish public funding is being put to good use rebuilding much needed health infrastructure. I sincerely hope the actions of a few dont tarnish and hinder the good work going on in the field.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012489272112463047.post-34033280067694892952010-08-30T14:26:08.754-07:002010-08-30T14:26:08.754-07:00dont always believe what you readdont always believe what you readAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012489272112463047.post-43338631591993187252010-08-28T18:36:00.371-07:002010-08-28T18:36:00.371-07:00Never,Never again will I donate money to the Irish...Never,Never again will I donate money to the Irish Red Cross,until such time as the current situation within same is fully investigated,I am sickened to hear the amount paid by this organization to consultants,it is morally wrong,itis indeed worrying when you read details of this current situation,Minister Kileen should have this investigation forthwith,failure to do so will result in the complete annilathion of the Fianna Fail Party,failure to act will again prove that this goverment has failed the Irish Nation and its people whom have over the years given money in good faith to this organization,act now Minister,period.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012489272112463047.post-64800426189370662942010-08-27T06:24:11.356-07:002010-08-27T06:24:11.356-07:00There are many other organisations and charities i...There are many other organisations and charities in Ireland who do same.
