RMATUI AGM

This year we are in the Harbour Hotel, The Docks, Galway on May 18th.  All members will receive postal notification with the programme/agenda, and the motions submitted.  Any amendments to the motions should be sent to the RMA Secretary (rmasec@tuimail.ie)  before April 20th.

ASSISTANCE FUND

Decisions of recent TUI Annual Congresses established the TUI Assistance Fund which will aid in-benefit members, serving and retired, who find themselves unable to deal with serious issues, financial or otherwise, through no fault of their own and having exhausted all other available options.

Four members of the committee to manage the fund have been elected from among serving members while a fifth has been nominated by the Retired Members’ Association. 

Please note that Branches which report a surplus in their Annual Return may, at the Annual General Meeting, make a donation to the Assistance Fund to a maximum of €3,000. A small contribution from each member’s annual subscription also supports the fund.

Enquiries and requests for assistance should be directed to amulcahy@tui.ie in the first instance. Applicants will be asked to complete an application form and also to submit a letter of application.
