Duggan to fight sanctions on Millstreet participants

SHOWJUMPINGIRELAND (SJI) is to impose stiff sanctions on some of its members and officials, as it completes a list of those people it deems breached its rules at last week’s “independent” Millstreet Show All-Ireland Championships.

SJI chairman Ronan Corrigan yesterday said that correspondence would be issued soon to those members it had identified as breaching its rules at the show.

“All the lists of those that were competing and officiating at Millstreet are almost complete. We have obtained video evidence, photographic evidence and records of who competed and we estimate that the rules were breached a couple of hundred times,” said Mr Corrigan. “Already, some letters to officials are in the post; these would be for minor, single infringements.”
