National Governing Body
for FClass, Target and Match Rifle Shooting in Ireland
Following a meeting with the Shooting Sports Association of Ireland on
Wednesday 13th August @ 7.30pm, it was agreed that
:
(1)
In the future all meetings and correspondence concerning the business of the
NRAI, must at all times be conducted directly with the NRAI, being the
National governing body for F-Class, Target and Match in the Republic of
Ireland and not through any other body.
(2)
It was further agreed at that meeting to clarify the position of the SSAI
(Shooting Sports association of Ireland) as there seems to be some confusion
on the matter.
The SSAI is an umbrella body for some shooting organisations within the Republic
of Ireland.
It's main purpose is the distribution of funding as determined
by the Irish Sports Council.
It is not an NGB (National Governing Body for Shooting Sports in Ireland).
It has no regulatory function or powers over Shooting sports in Ireland.
Its officers are not authorised or empowered to act independently of the
associated organisations which comprise the umbrella body.
It has no function in awarding or withholding recognition of NGB status to
associations.
The NRAI regrets the departure of the NTSA from the SSAI and would like to wish them all the best for the future.
