WATERFRONT Enterprise Board chairman Gerald Voisin has been dismissed by the States.
Members have voted by 22 to 15 to remove him as chairman, but board members Senator Paul Routier and Deputy Jacqui Huet survived. A proposition from Deputy Geoff Southern to sack them as well was defeated by 29 to eight.
The dismissal of the chairman, whose contract was due to end in August of next year, followed his failure to declare that he was chairman of the CI branch of Allied Irish Bank, whose parent company are the financial backers of favoured waterfront developers Harcourt.
A proposal by Deputy Gerard Baudains for the recission of the States’ decision approving the plans, including a new financial quarter, were defeated.
