It's not only "originally set up by a paedophile", he is still running it, making rules, is present at the comps. If a convict was the HEAD and FOUNDER of CLRG, yes I would ignore the org as long as he is in charge. But it's not, and CLRG kicked him out. Do not let your experience with CLRG cloud your judgement, it's not them who are the bad guys here, it's WIDA who keeps him in charge. If you commit a crime, your life changes no matter how talented you are. You can be a master painter but if you kill somebody, you can only paint in jail. You can be a gifted dance teacher, but if you molest a child you can no longer be among children and your privacy is gone. You should have thought about it before the deed not ignore the consequences. At WIDA open platform comps there are young dancers from other orgs who have a convict sitting right next to them in the audience or shaking their hands. Say what you want, this is not right. As long as he is in charge yes it is his org's fault -- For the love of the dance

In reply to: Irishdaz 's message, "you say "if Sean Gavan was not president of the federation the WIDA would not be an issue". That is my point. It is not a federation of child molesters, even if it was originally set up by one. There will almostr certainly be paedophiles involved in every federation. If you were told that senior regional council members, or CLRG members were child molesters would you be calling for CLRG posts to be removed from the board? I doubt it very much as you would be saying it's not the federations fault. I am not defending my own freedom of speech as you seem to suggest, but rather the right of the organisation (I stress NOT the man) to advertise" on Wed, Sep 19 2007, 9:15:52

[> [> [> [> [> [> you are so wrong Irishdaz at the end of the day you are defending and advertising a organisation ran by a child molester however you put it that is a fact, you should for the sake of all children stop advertising the website until this man is gone from the organisation I know you wont change your mind but you are putting children at risk by helping this person, I have shown some people where I work these discussions (that are nothing to do with Irish Dancing) and they cannot believe that anyone would associate themselves with such a person in any way, they were horrified and I must admit it is an real eye opener for me. -- parent, Wed, Sep 19 2007, 20:11:40 [1]
