    No problems being a member of Weightlifting Ireland if you're a member of anything else.

    I think (Pete may correct me on this) IDFPA membership is out if you're a member of another organisation which doesn't share their ethos on drug use. I think this refers to "untested" organisations and federations.

    From how I understand the rules and given that Weightlifting Ireland's testing is administered by the Irish sports council, I don't see a problem with WI members being in the IDFPA. Contact them to make 100% sure though.

    Edwardius is right, there is no problem joining both the IDFPA and Weightlifting Ireland, the IDFPA rules are that members cannot lift in organisations that don't carry out drug testing so you would be fine to do both.
