de committee





The first member of the select committee is Jim Howe. Jim generated significant comment last year when he abstained from speaking for 24 hours, raising serious sponsorship income [income which could have been increased by a factor of 5 if Jim agreed to continue to not talk, but there ya go]. Jim works for Concern's in house direct dialogue team.


Committee member 2 is Maura Corry. Maura is critical to the success of this little enterprise as she probably knows better than most what I am, and more importantly, amn't capable of doing for 24 hours. Her CV includes executive recruitment, public service staff training, university lecturing, nannying, primary school teaching and yacht sail making. I am her current husband.




Michael Doorly is, according to LinkedIn, an arts and crafts professional in Sydney, Australia, which might explain why he looks tired in the morning. Hell of a commute. During the day, he runs Concern's active citizenship team, which makes him responsible for the organisation's secondary school debates competition, public campaigning and general radicalness.




The final committee member is John Fleming. John is CEO of Sightsavers in Ireland and the brother of the weatherman who winks at you. What more reason does one need?

  1. During these difficult times (and to ensure scores are settled satisfactorily) may I suggest the forming of a "value for money" sub-committee consisting of Liverpool, Man U and Everton fans?
