In reply to: Some kids just enjoy taking part, knowing that they'll maybe never qualify 's message, "And your attitude is part of the problem. No talking about the enjoyment of taking part. Just what's the point if you can't qualify for worlds" on 24/05/24 12:07:55, Fri

I get the Irish and UK dancers all make every major, but for the huge amounts of American dancers that don't participate in most majors because it's difficult to qualify, this really only changes a few fees from our teachers. Local and regional competitions will keep running as they have been. NANs has always been politically corrupt and people go because the rest of the overseas majors aren't worth the cost other than a fun trip.

Why should parents bail them out?! This should not be shoved onto parents. That's not a solution! Even grades feis fees have increased significantly. (NT) -- Dancing parents are stretched to the limit as it is. It's too risky to book in for feis or majors now as clrg could go bust & our moneys gone, 24/05/24 13:11:48, Fri
- If food prices go up, your local pub or takeaway is going to raise prices. If the price of roof tiles goes up, your roofer will charge you more. If the cost of cotton goes up, your clothes cost more. (NT) -- ., 24/05/24 13:49:44, Fri
  - Yes but that is different. Food, clothing & shelter are basic human needs so we try & soak up inflation. Irish dancing isn't a human need, it's a courrupt hobby. (NT) -- Parents shouldn't pay a cent more to courrupt CLRG. If they are bust they only have themselves to blame. It sounds like they are in serious difficulty, would be unwise to book or enter anything., 24/05/24 14:04:38, Fri
    - Ok- if the cost of taking FA coaching badges and hiring 5G pitches goes up, then your kids football coaching fees go up too. EVERY business passes costs on. (NT) -- rew, 24/05/24 14:12:52, Fri
      - I would not support the FAI are cleaning up & make up huge profits with government funding. I have reached the limit I am willing to give to CLRG. The price hikes mentioned in this article are insane. (NT) -- Enough. I won't be entering my dc into any qualifiers, nationals or all irelands as it sounds worlds is unlikely to go ahead.
