I experienced the first repercussions of the expulsion from outside of CCE yesterday.
For some time now we have been preparing the ground for the setting up of a local traditional music archive/resource/display centre, which has included working with others who are not necessarily wishing to be involved, CCE being one such.
Somebody remarked yesterday, "perhaps we shouldn't bother with them-what if they expel us and run off with our archive"!

Jim,if you wished to work with Comhaltas,surely you could draw up a legal document stating quite clearly who the archive belongs to,and only allowing comhaltas to use it under certain conditions,which GIVES THEM NO RIGHT OF OWNERSHIP OF THE ARCHIVE.
how can they expel you,if you are not members of Comhaltas,what utter drivel.
