Does anyone else feel uncomfortable with the amount of profit Scientology, a notorious cult queried for abuse and violence among other things, are making from Irish Dancing/An Chomhdháil? 😬 With the amount of feises/practices happening in the Scientology Centre, the Irish dance community is probably single handedly funding their presence in Ireland. It’s gas that people will complain about teachers wearing runners on stage, but not about the competition funding a cult! 😅 -- AN COMHDHÁIL IRISH DANCING FORUM

Where else could Leinsters be held? Citywest is being used by government. Feis maybe once a month in Scientology, school halls, gaa halls & hotels all still being used for feiss (NT) -- Dm, Thu, Jan 26 2023, 23:08:39
Yeah, I definitely feel a bit weird about it. But it is a great venue I suppose… (NT) -- 🤷🏻‍♀️, Fri, Jan 27 2023, 13:21:43
Yup completely agree with op. Scientologys main goal is to get integrated and accepted into the community and they are most certainly using the dancing world for their own benefit. Watching the documentaries and what they actually do to their own members who leave is really bad. (NT) -- Not really happy about it., Fri, Jan 27 2023, 13:56:17
- Butttt you won't want say anything to your teacher about it and try to get them not to support it. -- Jiminy Cricket, Fri, Jan 27 2023, 17:39:28
  - Well you would be wrong, my teacher is well aware of what I think about it. (NT) -- How about yours, Sat, Jan 28 2023, 12:56:05
They certainly charge enough lol. Maybe they could invest in some aircon cause it looks like we're gonna be there for the long haul 😂 think we're there more than actual scientologists (NT) -- Dm, Fri, Jan 27 2023, 21:35:01
Must be expensive and the cost of entering a feis is crazy in Dublin now. Them with pre entry can’t even get money back of something goes wrong. I say back to pay on the day. Fed up pre entering . Anyone else ? (NT) -- Dm, Fri, Jan 27 2023, 21:44:39
Agree! Stop funding this (NT) -- cult, Sat, Jan 28 2023, 3:59:20
Feeling very comfortable there..as are many so it seems..haven’t attended a quiet feis there yet (NT) -- Dm, Sat, Jan 28 2023, 13:17:57
I agree they are recognised as a cult jm not comfortable with supporting them. I'm also over the online registration as it become too expensive therefore I'm attending less feises (NT) -- Mum, Sat, Jan 28 2023, 16:01:07
The coffee shop must make some serious money at feises too! (NT) -- Dm, Sat, Jan 28 2023, 21:05:32
If you don’t like venue don’t go! Plenty of other feiss & usually 2 most weekends to choose from! Bring your own snacks n food if u do go! Better selection of hot & cold food then a feis in a sports hall even if it is a tad pricey! Their not pushing anyone to join their cult! (NT) -- Dublin Mam, Sun, Jan 29 2023, 18:50:47
- Fairly hard to not go when your provincial championship is there though, isn’t it 🙃 The place creeps me out to no end! (NT) -- Dm, Sun, Jan 29 2023, 21:09:10
