Accommodation in Enniscorthy 2000 (Updated)
As usual, providing accommodation for the
thousands who come to the Fleadh is a perennial problem. However, due to
Millennium Fleadh 2000 being the second year in succession for
Enniscorthy to host it, most of last year's applications for
accommodation through the Fleadh Accommodation Office did not
materialize, as people booked their rooms with their hosts when leaving
in 1999. More>>>

the 30 competitions in which over 5,000 participants take part, they

to Enniscorthy in 2000"
 To the delight of the many thousands who visited the town, Fleadh
Cheoil na hÉireann returns to Enniscorthy for the start of the new millennium on the
week-end of August 25th - 27th, 2000. After considering the different applications,
Árd-Comhairle of Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann unanimously opted to place the Fleadh
back in Enniscorthy for the second year in succession. Speaking on the occasion in
Cumhalturlann na hÉireann, Dun Laoghaire, Uachtarán Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann,
Clement Mac Suibhne, said it was obvious to everybody who had attended the Fleadh that it
was an extremely well-run one, from the venues, accommodation arrangements and catering
plans to the colourful, high-quality programme. He complimented Enniscorthy on being
chosen again and he had no doubt that the organising committee, who were present in large
numbers to hear the announcement, would do an even better job next year.
Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann - The best ever?
 Arising from some initial doubts as to Enniscorthy's ability to handle
Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann in 1999, the town proved itself well capable of handling such
an international cultural festival. Click here for further information. More >>>
