Irish dancing body to review court ruling’s impact on suspensions over alleged ‘feis fixing’

Ms Justice Roberts said there was “an imperative on CLRG to advance the disciplinary process with a degree of haste from this point onwards” and its failure to do so “may give rise to real prejudice at a future point” and that Ms Hennigan may be entitled to complain about this.

Ms Hennigan, a feis adjudicator who also runs an Irish dancing school in the UK, was suspended by CLRG following complaints that text messages between 12 named individuals, including the Hertfordshire-based teacher, and an adjudicator at the 2019 All Ireland Championships were a sample of “alleged corruption” among registered CLRG members.

Ms Hennigan denied allegations of competition fixing, arguing that “no favouritism was sought or provided” for her dancer. There was no certainty in the text exchange involving Ms Hennigan that, on its face, met the threshold for gross misconduct and the wording of the exchange was equivocal, the judge said.
