I think competitive Irish Dance will always be corrupt. It appears to be in the tapestry of it.

At this point, there is no question that we have clear evidence of competition fixing worldwide but CLRG is either unable or unwilling to stop it.

Not every school cheats- I do believe that is true.

That said, quite a few schools worldwide have been outed- and the regulars on the podium in multiple age groups in both regional and major comps are likely complicit in the game.

We now know for certain who the cheats are in NE (screenshot evidence) and some of us suspect there are more based on past associations (where there's smoke).

As a parent, I believe you have to choose to be ok with the corruption to continue to participate in it. Look the other way, turn a blind eye and all that.

It really is awful for kids that truly and deeply love this sport.

The adults have really let these children down, and by all rights, parents should be leaving the cheating schools in droves- but they aren't. So I think that also speaks volumes to the future of cheating in CLRG- the consumers and the power players seem to be fine with it.

Unlikely to change.
