The 2017 Irish Equity AGM will take place in the Theatre in Liberty Hall on Sunday April 9th and is open to current members of the union.
Doors will open for 14:00 for a 14:30 start and the meeting will finish no later than 17:30 and the full agenda will be sent to members in advance of the meeting.
This year the Equity Executive has decided to have a guest speaker at the AGM. This speaker will talk about the issue of taxation for performers and will cover issues such as double taxation, working as self-employed, working under an exclusion order, working with a duality of engagement arrangement and other issues.
The speaker’s presentation will be followed by a Q&A session for members.
The format for the business of the AGM will be similar to last year with motions moved from the rostrum. Movers of motions will have five minutes speaking time; seconders of motions will have three minutes and all other speakers will also have three minutes. The mover of motions will also have a three minute right of reply.
