The Irish dancing world has been rocked by allegations of competition fixing that has led to the suspension of 44 individuals from judging competitions and full disciplinary hearings

Responding to the CLRG’s announcement of the new reforms, Ms Martin told The Irish Times that “to fully restore public confidence in their events, the priority must be on ensuring that all competitors are treated fairly and are seen to be treated fairly”.

“My main concern is ensuring that these children and young people receive fair treatment when dancing and that this is transparently the case.”The commission said the intention of the changes was “for all those in good standing to be entitled to vote in adjudicator selection from 2024 onwards”. “The process of appointing a change management consultant firm to undertake a strategic review of CLRG across the board is now under way.”
