The Tipperary vice chairman of the Irish Red Cross will step down from his role in the society later on this month.
Tony Lawlor has held the position of vice chairman for 21 years.
His resignation is understood to be one of 6 changes that will be made to the board of the Irish Red Cross, in light of a damning report, in to the society by the Dail Public Accounts Committee.
One of the problems highlighted, was an undisclosed donation of €165,000 which was discovered in a bank account in Mr Lawlors own district of Tipperary following a secret audit.
The Committee chairman John McGuinness criticised how the society was being controlled by a small group of people, who have controlled the board for a number of years.
