Ucatt council trio found guilty

Three former members of the full-time executive council of Ucatt have been found guilty of charges of improper conduct of union affairs.

In a postal ballot of the membership, they have been convicted by a majority of nearly nine to one.

The three - John Flavin, Charlie Kelly, and Peter Lenehan - were suspended earlier this year. The full-time executive has since been replaced by a lay body.

The verdict means the three are sacked without any redundancy payments.
