SJI suspends rule for members who attend unaffiliated shows

SHOWJUMPINGIRELAND has suspended its rule sanctioning members who attend unaffiliated shows, as it “digests” a Competition Authority report on the rule.

SJI suspends rule for members who attend unaffiliated shows

The decision by the SJI national executive comes a fortnight before the unaffiliated show at Millstreet, Co Cork. The event is organised by Noel C Duggan, who made a complaint to the Competition Authority, that, by sanctioning members who attend shows, the association is restricting a commercial entity's ability to undertake its activities.

It will be seen as a major success for Mr Duggan, who has battled for years to show the SJI insurance is inadequate. He said yesterday: "I am elated and it amounts to total vindication. Honesty, integrity, determination and facts survive over threats of sanctions. Justice has been achieved. I am looking forward to our show. It was a total success last year and we are geared up for a bigger and better event this year, under the present circumstances. Everybody is welcome and entries are still being taken."
