jim, you said
"Nowadays, it is possible to attend schools, singing and music week-ends all over Ireland, without a glimpse of CCE or its policies - traditional music has 'taken its own feet, as they say over here." a half truth, you also said"CCE has 1 annual event - the annual competition based Fleadh Nua in Ennis."
another lie, I have provided the information of how many annual events they ..CCE have. and it is not restricted to one. Iam not particularly fond of CCE, BUT TO PRETEND THAT THEY HAVE LITTLE INFLUENCE AND TO PUT THIS OUT AS A TRUTH SHOWS YOU ARE LIVING IN AN IVORY TOWER.or possibly CloudCuckooLand
