    From the FIS:
    JSI PRO BONO SCHEME AVAILABLE TO NGBS

    Just Sport Ireland in conjunction with the Bar Council of Ireland is delighted to announce that pro bono consultations are now available to all Federation members in connection with the adoption of Just Sport Ireland.

    The Scheme involves the governing rules and regulations of a sporting organisation being reviewed by a barrister with a view as to how JSI could best fit within the existing disciplinary and dispute resolution procedures of a sporting organisation.

    A follow-up meeting will then be held with the sporting organisation involved with a view to a proposed clause or clauses for insertion into the rules of the sporting organisation making provision for referral to JSI being drafted.

    The facility is now available to all Federation members. Any sporting organisations interested in taking advantage of the service should contact the Federation directly.

    Just Sport Ireland is an alternative dispute resolution facility for Irish Sport established by the Federation of Irish Sports with a view to providing a cost effective and time efficient alternative to court proceedings for the resolution of sporting disputes.

    2008 saw JSI conduct is first arbitration and mediation. The arbitration took six weeks from beginning to end and cost a total of just over €1500.

    A number of sporting organisations have now made provision for Just Sport Ireland within their governing rules and regulations including:-

    · Basketball Ireland;
    · Golfing Union of Ireland;
    · Irish Canoe Union;
    · Irish Hockey Association;
    · Irish Wheelchair Sports Association and
    · Special Olympics Ireland;
