Annual Report of the Ombudsman 2008 (text version)
2.11 British and Irish Ombudsman Association - Chairperson appointment
In May 2008, it was a great privilege for me to be elected Chair of the British and Irish Ombudsman Association (BIOA). The BIOA was founded in 1993 and comprises 70 Ombudsmen or similar institutions across the Republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom in both the public and private sectors. My appointment as Chair is particularly significant in that it reflects the evolving good and co-operative relationship between the two islands arising from the positive political developments over the last decade. It also recognises the contribution of not only my own Office, but of all other Irish members of the Association on the development of the Ombudsman system as an independent, accessible and economical means of dispute resolution. The main priority of my term of Office will be to further deepen and develop the influence of the BIOA in both the private and public complaint handling sectors.
