no, again you show your ignorance,
The Glor na gael competitiions, I judged were not that,they involved people from the whole county[county Cork is the largest county]and were designed not to raise money,but to encourage Irish traditional music/song and the Irish language.
You have already insulted the organisers and the participants,by saying they probably organise beetle drives,[How Patronising and uninformed]
what you cant get in to your head is that Glor Na Gael,Comhaltas,and the GAA Scor[the last two organise national competitions]are responsible to a large extent for the extremely high standard of Irish song music and dance among children and teenagers.
Would you not like to see the children of England enjoying traditional music,and getting the satisfaction of acquiring musical skills,if you do then think about it,it may not be ideal but it works.
