Subject: RE: Battle of Clontarf-round two/Comhaltas Interruptus
Emmo, thanks for clearing that up. I can imagine that the issue of playing music in Clasac would be a difficult one for any branch.
I hope it is not causing too much disharmony for Sean Treacy branch.
This type of difficulty is a spin off of the whole debacle.

It should make the neighbouring branches of Comhaltas more aware of the disgraceful treatment of Clontarf and maybe encourage them to seek an appeal for Clontarf at the next Dublin County Board meeting.

If Clontarf was given their rightful place on the Board of Management of Clasac, all branches could all use the fantastic facility with light hearts. What a fabulous meeting place it would be for all our musicians, young and old. I look forward to that day.

Caitlin Rua, Sean Treacy are local enough to Clasac building

One other issue, the Dublin feis is being held in Clasac. This raises issues for the young musicians of Ceoltoiri Cluain Tarbh who are reluctant to play in Clasac. The organisers must know this. As Cluain Tarbh have been huge supporters of the feis over many many years, is this an opportunity to put the squeeze on us again?
What about the fleadh, where will that be held??
