My solution (that a Mass could be organised independently) is that Comhaltas practises what it preaches... as simple as that! That way, it can't get into hot water over it. That way, I, and others, won't be asked to act unconstitutionally when promoting Comhaltas events and raising funds through various bodies such as "education in arts", "the arts council", the "national lottery", "local government agencies" etc, etc, etc (remember, the contitution is the basis for its existence under law). That way, its funding will be legally obtained and not placed in jeopardy. That way, it can't be challenged in a court of law and face the danger of being "brought into disrepute" (cluse 5 of the contitution is relevent here)

In answer to those who say join an organisation that promotes traditional Irish culture that doesn't promote a Catholic dimension... well, isn't that what Comhaltas proposes to be in the first place? The answer is its statement that it is non-denominational. As I stated above, there is a distinction between "we" as Catholics and "we" as members of Comhaltas. "We" as members of Comhaltas are duty bound to act non demoninationally (not multi-denominationally) when engaged in Comhaltas business.
