Despite ongoing rumbling discontent in the SJI Connacht Region, SJI chair Ray Buchanan confirmed to last Tuesday’s SJI executive committee meeting that there would be no new election held in the western region.
A strong group of long-standing SJI members publicly aired serious concerns and misgivings over the recent election result for the region after several voting irregularities came to light.
This led to resignations being submitted by some officers at a meeting last week of the Connacht Region. However, Connacht chair Charles Hanley revealed last week that he will call a regional meeting after he has received all formal resignations, which he expected by Monday.

Connacht Region chair Charles Hanley said: “The whole thing is very disappointing for everyone involved. To my understanding, procedures on the (election) night weren’t much different to any other year. Everyone definitely signed in, which didn’t happen before, and while there were a few non-members present, to my knowledge they didn’t vote.”
