The world’s oldest and largest competitive Irish dancing organization has launched an investigation after being hit by allegations of competition fixing, warning “unethical behavior cannot and will not be tolerated.”
In a statement posted on its website on Thursday, the Irish Dancing Commission said its ethics committee had received “allegations, with supporting documentation, of several grievous breaches of our Code of Conduct” in July of this year.
The commission did not specify what kind of breaches were alleged, though local media reported they were related to accusations of competition fixing.
The Irish Independent broke the news of the allegations in an exclusive investigation published on Wednesday.
“Due to the potential extent of such allegations, the services of an independent former judge of the Court of Appeal have been engaged.”
REALLY??? As a member of Irish history, I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.
