    This Sundays Fingal dualathlon has been cancelled due to impact of current Gardai industrial action. I do not know details beyond what is in the statement, but could anybody who has been involved in organising a sportive tell me are upcoming events likely to be cancelled.

    Below is the Final tri statement from their website

    Cancellation of Duathlon this Saturday

    It is with great regret that Fingal Triathlon Club has to announce the cancellation of our second duathlon race which was due to take place this coming Saturday, 2nd March 2013.
    I am sure you are aware there is an ongoing industrial dispute involving An Garda Siochána and as a result we do not have the support of the Gardaí and the County Council for our race. Consequently we do not have insurance... cover for the race. As we all know ‘no insurance cover = no race’. Unfortunately this situation is totally outside the control of Fingal Triathlon Club.
    We sincerely apologise for the late notification in cancelling the event. We completely understand how disappointing this news is for all competitors. For us it is truly disheartening to cancel an event that we have put a tremendous amount of time effort, organising and planning into.
    At this time we are still planning the 3rd race for Saturday 30th March. If there are any developments regarding this race you will be informed ASAP.
    Triathlon Ireland has been informed and will be issuing refunds to all athletes who had signed up for the race. This will happen over the next 2 weeks.
    At this time we thank you most sincerely for the support you have given the club and hope that we will see you at our next event.
