Midday, one of the directors entered the office with the Accountant and four Garda officers, explaining that we had unlawfully taken over the office.<\/p>\n I presented documentation regarding the changes in the Board of Directors under the General Meeting and the new resolutions, and the officers left. That’s when the words were spoken: “We’ll see you in court.” I feel sorry for Brendan, who was manipulated by bad advisors, but he became the face of the lawsuit.<\/p>\n The next day, I received a temporary court injunction prohibiting me from approaching the office or acting in Together-Razem, as well as a lawsuit with fabricated allegations and a summons to the High Court in Dublin.<\/p>\n The court issued the order without the involvement of the parties at the request of Together-Razem’s solicitors, and it was signed by one of the directors, Mr. Brendan. The lawsuit had serious arguments, including that I have access to the organization’s funds, that I act unlawfully and present myself as Chairman, and that the Extraordinary General Meeting of members was illegal. Furthermore, it claimed that members unlawfully took over the organization’s office and that there was a risk of removing documentation and stealing organization property.<\/p>\n Would we, the funding members, steal from the organization we established and ran for years for its own good?<\/strong><\/p>\n These are fabricated nonsense. Members of the organization cared about its proper functioning and development under a Board that acts with reason and for the organization’s good.<\/p>\n Before the case became public, press articles appeared about the court order based on the contents of the lawsuit falsely indicating the reasons for the changes in Together-Razem.<\/p>\n The authors did not bother to verify the facts with me and presented that my resignation as CEO was related to financial irregularities.<\/p>\n That was untrue, and the Board knows well that it was about my contract and employment; their solicitors invented reasons to persuade the judge to their side.<\/p>\n This is very unfair and damaging to me because I didn’t have a chance to address what appeared in the media.<\/p>\n<\/strong><\/h1>\n
