VOTING ON CONTRACTS A Director may not vote in respect of any contract in which he is interested or any matter arising thereout.
Ideas Up to 25 Directors: Principle member of each established Group to be made a director which will be called the board of directors. All directors shall be Garda vetted (due to the nature of our business). There will be three categories: Primary members (Principle directors) Secondary members (2 members elected by the principle groups forming the company) Tertiary members (members of groups, (others that have not been elected by the principles) independents and unestablished groups.) Established groups need to be registered (not necessary have charitable status but need to put measures in place to be charitable groups).
Ideas Voting: Each director on the board will carry one vote each regarding the running of the company. Primary and Secondary members carry one vote each regarding policy change etc.  Primary members shall vote to appoint a general manager and sectary (these two posts will be permanent posts or as the board should see fit eg a contract for a determined period of time).  General (AGM) voting- 75% vote is required to pass and resolution, motion that is put forward (Registered paid up Members) Primary and Secondary members shall not hold salary paying positions in the company.
Ideas Capital: We will get a consensus for an amount that the board can vote on for spending. E.g. €1000.00 anything above that then Primary and Secondary need to vote on. All members’ remuneration shall be €0.00 (including the board of directors).  General Manager shall receive a salary according to the board’s direction and any other staff required to run the office. All vacancies will be offered to Registered paid members (not Primary or secondary) first before going to the public.
Ideas Powers: General Manager shall not be members of Primary and Secondary members. General Manager’s powers will be inferred on him/her by the board. E.g. hire and fire of office staff, hiring to be justified to the board. Dismissal of any member or employee for misconduct shall be in accordance to employment legislation (level of offences will be set out later).
Ideas Non Profiteering of members: No member shall be favoured for any contract that would financially be profitable to him/her where there might be a tender cheaper than him/her.   There is no restriction on members tendering for any contract issued by the company.  We will endeavour to supply all groups with equal amounts of support from the company.
European Court of Justice Article 234 Court of First Instance now has jurisdiction under article 225(3) it may refer up to the ECJ if it feels that there are issues of principle that will affect the unity or consistency of EC law not an appellate system only the national court can make the decision to refer
Provisions Which Can Be Referred interpretation of the Treaty validity and interpretation of acts of the institutions of the Community and of the ECB the interpretation of the statutes of bodies established by an act of the Council, where those statutes so provide
Courts or Tribunals Which Must Refer article 234 distinguishes between courts or tribunals which 'may' refer and those which 'must' refer article 234(2): 'may' article 234(3): 'against whose decisions there is no judicial remedy under national law' rationale for article 234(3): to prevent a body of national case law that is not in accordance with EC law from being established in any member state.

European Conference of Prosecutors 2008 - Saint Petersburg (Russian Federation) Prosecution in Ireland  Irish independence after 1922 including the establishment of the office of Attorney General on a constitutional basis in 1937 (Article 30 of the Constitution of Ireland) In this connection Recommendation 1604(2003) of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe on the role of the public prosecutor’s office in a democratic society governed by the rule of law is of great importance.
Recommendation referring to the non-penal law responsibilities of prosecutors, declares  “it is essential:  that any role for prosecutors in the general protection of human rights does not give rise to any conflict of interest or act as a deterrent to individuals seeking state protection of their rights;  b. that an effective separation of state power between branches of government is respected in the allocation of additional functions to prosecutors, with complete independence of the public prosecution from intervention on the level of individual cases by any branch of government; and  c. that the powers and responsibilities of prosecutors are limited to the prosecution of criminal offences and a general role in defending public interest through the criminal justice system, with separate, appropriately located and effective bodies established to discharge any other functions;”

Editor's Notes

  1. In the tradition of their founders, we believe in the ethical values of honesty, openness, social responsibility and caring for others. Such legal entities have a range of unique social characteristics. Membership is open, meaning that anyone who satisfies certain non-discriminatory conditions may join. Economic benefits are distributed equally.
  2. The Problem arises where the only procedure available is through the courts for a reference to the ECJ. Which means only a judge of the National courts can refer it if he/she wishes to, there is no obligation on the National courts to refer. It can be refused. You can not appeal the decision of non-refusal however one can appeal the courts findings and interpretation of the Regulation or Directive.
  3. To register with the UN for the purpose of reporting on Human Rights and the right of the child.
  4. We need to be part of this Working group. USFI will be used for the purpose of submitting the submission, USFI have had previous dealings with the UN. Time is against us.
  5. Private Criminal Prosecution is not possible under the Constitution
  6. Wording to be used for application for the ICC.
  7. If any of these are breached then we have a case. Further more consistency of the law, “Law has to be clear concise and consistent”.
  8. Magna Carta although not an authority in Ireland can be used in the principles of law and to help defining the Rule of Law.
  9. To achieve these objectives we need the co-operation of every member to get as many men as we can possibly get for the class action. A working group needs to be set up for the ICC application the current people in this group is John Marques, Andries Van Tonder and Donnacha Murphy, we seek people with understanding of International Law, Criminal Law, European human Rights Laws.
