You of all people Irishdaz should not refer to anyone in WIDA as a TCRG because they are not, TOTALLY different from An Coimisiun, AC does not allow pedophiles to run anything that is why he had to start up WIDA, nothing wrong with WIDA, just the man himself -- For the love of the dance

In reply to: Irishdaz 's message, "I mean that you are attacking the whole organisation to get at the man. And yes he has set this up himself, because he loves Irish dance. My understanding is that his old school used to think he was a wonderful TCRG and actually raised $50,000 to fund his defence, so maybe he does have something to offer the world of dance. However I totally agree that we should protect our children, and I don't see anything wrong in anyone suggesting that parents Google his history before deciding to join an affiliated school. That is not the same as trying to get anything to do with WIDA banned from the voy forums. You are punishing the innocent parties, to get at the guilty if you do that. Unless you believe the TCRG at WIDA are all tarred with the same brush?" on Mon, Sep 17 2007, 20:08:23

[> [> [> [> [> [> the organisation calls them TCRG and I use the term to mean dance teacher as most people understand it as such. I am not defending him as a paedophile, and would be very cautious of my own children being around him. The point is that anyone that you trust could be a paedophile, at least we know for sure with him, and can take the necessary precautions, which include not joining WIDA if you don't want. It is right that people warn others about his personal history, so they can make an informed choice. It is wrong to want any rreference to the organisation banned from the forum, as most of the people involved are not connected to his crimes, and may not event have an option to join AC for whatever reason. Please understand I do not support him as an individual nor do I condone his past in any way, in fact I condemn such behaviour 100% -- Irishdaz, Tue, Sep 18 2007, 9:19:57 [1]

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> FYI, TCRG is not just any Irish dance teacher, it's the teacher of Coimisiun or Comhdhail Rince Gaelacha (as the abbreviation shows). Other orgs have other names, for example ODCRN in CRN. WIDA teacher should be TWIDA or whatever. He is blatantly copying the name to ape the org he was expelled from and probably to mislead people who have heard of TCRGs but are not aware of the technical details, different orgs etc. -- not good intentions, Tue, Sep 18 2007, 11:16:43 [1]

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> You don't get it Irishdaz - you say "at least we know for sure with him, and can take the necessary precautions, which include not joining WIDA if you don't want", the problem is people do NOT know until they join. Not everybody reads message boards and topics on him are usually quickly deleted. I received his e-mail inviting to join and (just as this ad here) there was not a word not even about his conviction but about his identity. If I got interested and decided to travel to the workshops and join the org (as a teacher) when do you think he would tell me? When I already had significant expenses and got involved? If not the boards I would never know because to google him you have to know his name and he's hiding it. I'd say that all the ads and info he posts which does not give his name should be banned. If he DOES give his name it's "buyer's risk" (I'm talking about adult teacher candidates here). -- do you get my drift?, Tue, Sep 18 2007, 12:21:29 [1]
