Author: You just have to look at the positions on The Council to realise that brown nosing these people is the only way to get in. They sicken me, the lot of them. The Ball at The All Scotland was just one big massive ego stroke.

In reply to: DM 's message, "I was amazed by how much involvement these people have at the Worlds as well as within Scotland. It must be hard for any new, young tc starting out with their own school." on 16:24:44 04/02/14 Wed

Looking at the SRC web page and then at the CLRG committee web page I am interested to see a few names pop up in a multitude of positions. How can this be good for the growth of Irish dance in Scotland? If the same people that run the schools also run the feis and the Qualifiers and the Worlds there surely must be a conflict of interest? I'm sure there was a time, when Irish dance was smaller than it is today, that if these individuals didn't do these jobs then no one would do them and Irish dance and culture would suffer. Those days are gone and in today's big business Irish dance world could it be time to open things up a bit? (NT) -- Please remember that those with all the power now have it because in the past they were instrumental to the success that Irish dance is today, what they do with that power is up to them., 17:07:59 04/03/14 Thu
- That is exactly my point. It is not good for Irish Dance, it never has been, but nowadays there is no need for it. It should and could be run as a business with a Boss that is unifiliated to any of these people, and therefore gives the parents someone to apprpoach with a grievance. These people control everything and it has to stop. If you look at the new TC's that have recently started up they are mostly related to someone on the Council anyway, they are just taking over schools, so the circle starts again. They are either all related or thick as thieves anyway. (NT) -- Totally disillusioned now, they keep all these positions to maintain the power. Something needs to happen to change this joke because the longer these people remain in charge the longet they get away with abusing their powers to suit their own power trip., 19:51:52 04/03/14 Thu
