A letter from Ballymun Club re Eddie Barry and E Kelly.

It was pointed out that this case was dealt with by the ISRF committee and the committee
felt it had nothing to do with the federation. The Ballymun felt the matter should be heard
by the ISRF committee under rule ISRF 39.

39. All affiliated clubs and members agree to be bound by Federation rules and decisions of
the Federation general committee. No club may enact a rule which contravenes a Federation
rule or decision of the Federation general committee. If any member or affiliated club of the
Federation shall be guilty of any dishonourable conduct in connection with the sport, or sport
generally, or wilfully break the rules of the Federation or of his club, or is guilty of conduct
detrimental to the interests of the Federation, or refuses to comply with any decision of the
General Committee in any matter affecting the sport, the General Committee may fine or
suspend such member or club from the privileges of membership for such periods as the
General Committee shall determine. Any member making malicious statements about
Federation officials or affairs and subsequently found to be incorrect shall be brought before
the Committee and if found to be guilty shall be suspended for a period as determined by the
Committee.

The committee agreed to hear the case under this rule.
 

A discussion took place regarding the proposal from the East Coast Federation to liberate
