The town of Tullamore, Co. Offaly has been officially selected as the site of the 2009 Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann. I think everyone who joined us at the Fleadh this year will join in thanking our hosts for such a lovely event, and join us in wishing them well for the coming year’s festival. The Scoil Éigse summer school will take place in Tullamore from 16 - 21 August, 2009, and Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann 2009 will take place on the weekend of 21 - 23 August, 2009.

- 24 August 2008
The Senior Céilí Band competition at Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann is always one of the most watched and anticipated annual events on the Irish music calendar. We’re here down in Tullamore, Co. Offaly, the host city for this year’s Fleadh Cheoil, and I’ve just watched the last band leave the stage. The standard was fantastic. A special thank-you goes to our hosts in Tullamore for making the Fleadh, once again, a special, exciting and safe event for so many thousands of visitors.
