Lynch and HSI still some distance apart
The statement that followed the meeting with HSI/Splaine on February 28 was notable for the fact there was no mention of agreement, only stating: “Horse Sport Ireland and Denis Lynch are pleased to confirm progress was made on all the issues raised and it is hoped that matters will be fully resolved shortly.”
The silence since has been notable and obviously those hopes have not been realised. Lynch testified to this last Sunday when asked following his World Cup win in ’s-Hertogenbosch if he had changed his mind, replying with an emphatic “at the moment, I am not jumping on the Irish team”.
