Legal challenge to Athletics Ireland levy
“Athletics Ireland has been hit with a legal challenge against their decision to push through a new levy on all non-members wishing to participate in their permitted running and race events.”
As reported in today’s Irish Times by Ian O’Riordan. See full story in link below.
Many clubs were unaware of the situation until they were faced with it.
In that respect this legal challenge is relevant.
Athletics Ireland implemented the system without consultation.
Many clubs are now starting to realise its implications and increasingly beginning to voice their disapproval.
