Subject: Oireachtas
In reply to: Hoping this is fake news 's message, "Someone claimed on the Main board that the Oireachtas will not be a qualifying event. Our teachers are usually fantastic about updating us on any developments, so I'm hoping this is NOT true. Anyone else hear anything about this?" on 20:52:03 11/17/20 Tue

I cannot believe such a strong post that affects so many is now taken down with NO further explanation from the committee ? Rather unprofessional and disrespectful to the families and dancers!

For example, it was not clear that the Rule cited to justify loss of qualifier status was correctly interpreted, and no facts on travel restrictions were given. PCs were left wondering whether there is a path to NAIDC without Oireachtas. These are topics that might be addressed next time.

People did private message and then the MAO Facebook admins told on them to their dance schools. And then TCRGs from schools telling them not to question the decisions
