Schools in Ireland are not allowed to discriminate in classrooms, arts, or sports. Only few high level sporting bodies have been able to change certain policies, but Irish dancing is not considered a sport in Ireland. Ultimately the clrg decisions will be completely based on what they legally have to follow. Everyone can have their personal opinion but this decision will come down the the law in Ireland. The largest sporting organisation in Ireland is the GAA and they also have people playing on teams across genders. I feel a good solution is to provide and extra qualifier in cases or tie the corresponding girl/boy with the trans dancer in results so it doesn’t affect the biological genders results.

Snippets from Irish law:

“That’s because, in the Republic of Ireland, self-identification has been a reality since the country passed its Gender Recognition Act (GRA) in 2015. “

8. Single-gender activities: Transgender students should be included in the gender group that matches their identity, when it comes to single- gender identity, such as SPHE.

9. Physical education and sports: Transgender students should be encouraged and enabled to participate fully in physical education and the sports - in the gender they identify with. This may be more complicated depending upon the specific sport and league and negotiations may be required (contact sports).

Exactly! Ireland is much more accepting so if you want to take part in an activity and organization that originates in Ireland you might have to learn that not everything runs like the USA. Or you can choose another activity. (NT) -- dm, 18:10:11 12/31/23 Sun
You can’t legally change your gender until age 18. -- Birth certificate, 17:14:13 01/03/24 Wed
