Westmeath Community Development would like to extend a massive congratulations to all those involved in bringing the Fleadh home to Mullingar in 2020 and 2021.

It attracts in the region of 500,000 visitors to the host town every year. The announcement was received with excitement and jubilation by Comhaltas people and lovers of traditional culture in Co. Westmeath.

The event is organised by Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann, and will be hosted in Mullingar in conjunction with a local team led by Westmeath County Board of Comhaltas, the Mullingar Branch of Comhaltas and Westmeath County Council.

Joe Connaire, chairperson of Westmeath Comhaltas, thanked the members of the Ard Comhairle for putting their trust in Mullingar to host this magnificent event, saying “We are deeply honoured and humbled by the ringing endorsement we have received from the Ard Comhairle of Comhaltas, both in the town of Mullingar and in the members of our voluntary bid committee who have put in a huge amount of work to get us to this day. We are bringing the Fleadh back to its roots, back to where it all began, and back to where our great organisation was founded. Is ceart é a rá go bhfuil an Comhairle Chondae fíor-riachtanach mar comhghuaillí chun Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann a eagrú í gceart”.
