For those that haven't attended, it's generally a pretty big feis- well attended by top dancers.

I think it's clear that The Academy knows they are in some pretty deep doo-doo and that the Irish Dance community all knows it as well- and that none of us will be booking a flight to line their cheating coffers.

They've run this feis - posting ad nauseum all over social media every other year--it's been made into a bigger deal than it actually is- so them not holding it This year makes it clear to me that this is all about them being caught cheating.

    - No -- Until this is resolved, everyone needs to talk about it- cheaters need to be named for what they are, 19:24:21 12/08/22 Thu
      - And no, that’s not what I said. In this instance, it is unclear why. So why hypothesize? (NT) -- No need for it. Is it cancelled? Yes. There’s your answer., 23:32:17 12/08/22 Thu
