National school parents' group stripped of charity status after rows over state finance and representation
Briefly

The National Parents Council Post Primary (NPCPP), once recognized for running essential services, faced severe governance issues leading to its closure and loss of funding.
The Charities Regulator stripped NPCPP of its charitable status for failing to submit annual reports and making inappropriate payments to relatives of senior managers.
The Council grappled with multiple inquiries, including governance failures and accusations of de-registering directors without consent, raising serious concerns about its operations.
Despite attempts to continue, the NPCPP ultimately shut down due to a failure to secure necessary funding and resolve governance issues raised by official reviews.
