In reply to: notknockingWIDA 's message, "He was deported for violating probation orders not to be around children, so now .... he goes to another country and its OK for him to be around children, situation is the same, location has changed thats all. He gets kicked out of Au Coimisiun so its unacceptable for him to teach anywhere under that organization, goes to a different country and starts one up yet does not have his name associated with it for years. I dont understand why WIDA would allow a person like that to be in charge, literally financing a pedophile with class fee's etc, it might be hard to find someone with his Irish Dance exp but I think I would rather dance for the devil hisself than associate with this charachter" on Wed, Sep 19 2007, 18:26:36

Is WIDA is a professional Irish dance association? Are jobs being created? The talent & quality of work is what should matter. This man obviously continues to be a great Teacher and his talent is in demand. He continues to be creative, sharp, and hardworking in spite of his past problems.

You know what. He was my teacher for years, and the douchebag who fuckin accused him of all this shit only did it because he didnt get picked for nationals. Thats because he was a shitty dancer and a fucking creep. Jesus get your fucking facts straight. Mr sean was a good man.

And he still is!! Ever asked yourself why so many people still trust in him although EVERYONE knows about his past?
Of course now you say we are all blinded by him - sure, hundreds of people for so many years, knowing what he had been accused of...
I don't want to know with what he had to cope with over the last years because of this story, but I am sure that he did NOT deserve it.

My children danced with Mr. Sean's school all through the controversy. The earlier posting was exactly correct, he was accused by a mixed up, messed up problem teenager. Mr. Sean was a trusting person and never thought to put up walls between himself and his dancers. He was naive and that is all that he was ever guilty of. He was unfairly accused and convicted by a court afraid to say no to a child. You have nothing to fear from the Mr. Sean we all know and love.
