no, manitas, it does not .
furthermore o murchu[gay marriages] was speaking in a private capacity as a TD not in his role of DIRECTOR GENERAL of comhaltas, quite unfair AND INAPPROPRIATE to drag in his opinions, on a matter unrelated to COMHALTAS.
Best practice is providing international music tuition, running festivals, having branches, providing workshops, providing seisuins in the winter and summer, loaning out instruments, running music examinations , a lot of the things that the EFDSS used to do, but now do not.
EFDSS do not have branches ,they do not run festivals they do not run competitions[apart from one songwriting competition]they do n0t run musical exams, THEY DO NOT PROVIDE National TUITION, Comhaltas does all these things
