The aim of this document is to protect both the organization
and the individuals concerned from any appearance of impropriety.
Declaration of Interests
Accordingly we ask all officers and staff to declare their interests, and any gifts or hospitality received in connection with their role in the Society.
To be effective, this declaration should be made:-
If you are unsure what to declare, or whether / when your
declaration needs updating, err on the side of caution. If you wish to

The Register of Interests will only be available to members
of the Executive Committee and as applicable, the appropriate sub-committee. However
this policy document will be accessible to all members of the Society.
What to do if you face a conflict of interests
If you are a beneficiary directly or indirectly of the Society’s services you should not be a party to the decisions regarding those services. You should declare your interest at the earliest opportunity and withdraw from subsequent discussion. The same applies if there is a conflict for any other reason. For example if there is a proposal for a joint initiative with another organization, then any committee members who have close ties to that organization, such as employees, collaborators, stock holders must withdraw from discussion and voting on that proposal.
If you fail to declare a conflict of interests which is known, then any Executive Committee member may enter the declaration in the Register.
In the event of a committee having to make a decision in which there is a conflict of interests, the interested parties shall not vote nor be counted in any quorum. Interested parties may not manage any activity in which they have a conflict of interest.
It shall not be necessary to declare interest in contract(s) which total 300 Euros or less in any calendar year.
You may participate in discussions where the benefit applies to the public or to all members of the Society, or where your benefit is minimal. For example, it is not necessary to declare an interest in attending a meeting of the Society.
