Committee updates

The IADSA committee has agreed that in order to keep members informed of the work of the committee, we will issue a summary of the outcomes and decisions made at our monthly meetings. Clearly sensitive or confidential issues will not be included, unless they have reached a point appropriate to inclusion in the report. We hope this will help members to receive a clear and concise summary of the current work and the actions agreed.

Summary of committee meeting 7/10/2024

● Charity Show Recipients 2024: Meath dog shelter thanked IADSA for their nomination but as they are funded they suggested that it be donated to an unfunded charity. The committee agreed to donate the money to the only other charity nominated by the members, Dog Angels Ireland.
