The success of Fleadh Cheoil nah Éireann 2024 was celebrated with a Civic Reception hosted by Cathaoirleach Wexford County Council, Cllr Pip Breen, to honour over 400 volunteers for their tireless efforts. It was held in County Hall, Wexford, last Saturday.
“Your willingness to share your time by volunteering for the Fleadh 2024 says a lot about each of you as human beings. Your commitment and enthusiasm over the week showed in every task you were given and the feedback that we have received about the volunteers has been heartwarming,” said Cllr Breen, who added; “We have received comments from far and wide about the positivity, professionalism and can-do attitude of our Fleadh 24 volunteers and we are very proud of you all.”
Eddie Taaffe, Chief Executive of Wexford County Council, and Chairperson of the Wexford Fleadh Executive Committee said the 2024 Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann will go on record as a resounding success. “This success could not have been achieved without the contribution of our volunteers. You stewarded events, greeted our visitors to the town and made people feel welcome, you ensured our streets were kept spotless throughout the week – even with 650,000 people passing through our streets.
“Each and every contribution was valuable and significant and made the Fleadh a better event, and for that we thank you. We look forward to welcoming you back next year for an even bigger and better Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann 2025,” concluded Mr Taaffe.
The Comhaltas Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann 2025 takes place from August 3rd-10th in Wexford Town.
