Clasac is a centre with a social obligation to the people in the surrounding areas. It is meant to have an outreach programme for the benefit of the local community. It has already alienated the people of clontarf and elsewhere who are involved in traditional music/arts and and as a result it is in a position where it would have little or no local support. If you alienate all of the traditional local community then how will it work as a profit making business? How will it use its' revenue to promote trad music song and dance. Clasac has to operate as a profit making business in order to survive and to do this it needs the local traditional community. Balm is needed to heal wounds,trying to damage people's reputations cannot improve the situation. Local politicians have a role to play and should be to the fore of seeking a solution.
