2023 has been a very good year for Comhaltas. There was a feast of music, song, dance and Irish language. It was like a wonderful reawakening after the long hibernation of Covid. Just reflect on 600,000 Fleadh fans in Mullingar at one of the greatest Fleadhanna in its 72 year history with 15,000 performers and generating over €60 million for the region. In Ireland, all 32 County Fleadhanna and 4 provincial Fleadhanna got over the line with several international Fleadhanna. All of this was just the tip of the iceberg – the vast community – based cultural programme. Maith sibh go léir tá an náisiún go mór faoi chomaoin agaibh. The nation is indebted to the 50,000 volunteers who make it all happen.

A SEVEN YEAR MISSION

It was fitting and timely that the new Comhaltas PROSPECTUS, Connecting Communities Through Our Culture 2023-2030, was launched during the Fleadh. Iar-Uachtarán na hÉireann Mary McAleese performed the launch with style and panache (see her address in the current issue of Treoir). Like the founders of Comhaltas in 1951, the PROSPECTUS sets out our vision for the next seven years with many milestones to guide us on this exciting journey. Go n-éirí an bóthar linn agus go raibh Rath Dé ar an obair. Mary McAleese said:’Comhaltas knows our Irish cultural heritage intimately, like no other organisation.’ This well-grounded comprehensive seven year cultural programme has the potential to be one of the most important cultural initiatives in the history of the State.

A WORLDWIDE LINK

The Comhaltas journal TREOIR Uimhir 3 2023 is now in circulation. This bumper issue of 112 pages is full of news, views, seasonal offerings, music, songs, poetry, personalities, Fleadh results and much more. This is an important link in the global Comhaltas network, with Comhaltas operations in 22 countries. Le TREOIR castar na daoine ar a chéile. HAVE YOU GOT YOUR COPY?

FROM FLEADH TO FLEADH

With Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann 2022 and 2023 Mullingar has set the bar high. Who will ever forget the uplifting experience for 600,000 fans? Now Wexford, with a history immortalised in song, are well started on the Fleadh journey for 2024. There are two applications for Fleadh 2025, Belfast and Wexford. The Ardchomhairle will make the decision in March 2024.

AISTEAR 2030

This is a programme to introduce Comhaltas and the new PROSPECTUS to the general public. In the first instance, AISTEAR 2030 will be initiated by the seven Regional Resource Centres, these are in Cashel, Gurteen, Ennis, Mullingar, Clontarf, Dundalk and Omagh and are supported by 12 outreach cultural centres. AISTEAR 2030 will have – • 2 Concerts • 2 Lectures • 2 Archive events All these will be free of charge to the general public. Watch out for details in the first quarter of 2024.

AMERICA BOUND

The 2023 North American Convention of Comhaltas in Washington – where Comhaltas celebrated 50 years of our cultural movement – was a great success. Convention 2024 will be held in Buffalo and it is already a ‘sell out’. The Comhaltas network is spread across America and is one of the oldest in the history of our cultural movement.

THE WREN IS BACK

Following the success of the ‘wren’ project last year, plans are already underway to expand the programme on St. Stephen’s day this year. Over 40 Comhaltas branches will take to the highways and byeways bringing musical fun and joy to local communities. Proceeds will go to charitable and cultural projects.

FLEADH NUA‘50’

Fleadh Nua 24 in Ennis, Co. Clare marks the 50th Anniversary of the great festival. Over the years, it has developed as one of the most significant events on the Comhaltas calendar. 2024 promises a cultural extravaganza not to be missed! The Fleadh Nua will have over 70 events.

COMHDHÁIL – A SHARED ISLAND 2024 FOR SLIGO

The 2024 Annual Congress will leave Dublin for Sligo in 2024. There will be talks, seminars, recitals, concerts, etc. With the theme A SHARED ISLAND. All are welcome. Ní neart go cur le chéile. Unity is indeed strength!

Invitation to attend the Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sports and Media to discuss; A safe and respectful working environment in the arts.

Opening statement:

Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann welcomes the ‘Speak Up; A Call for Change’ initiative by Minster Catherine Martin T.D. and congratulates The Minister, the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, the Gaeltacht, Sport and Media, and all involved in its development. It is a timely report, fostering a safer and more respectful environment for the arts.

During the past year Comhaltas re-stated and widely distributed, internally and externally, its long-standing mission and ethos statement: Who We Are; Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann’s Vision, Values, Mission and Ethos are guided by many principles:

• The essence of our movement as we interpret it, is that it is all embracing and inclusive of everyone regardless of race, religion or ability.

• The core values of our services have always been underpinned by honesty, openness, fairness, the dignity of each person, free from harassment, anti-sectarian and anti-racist.

• We believe in the intrinsic value of every person and we aim to further the dignity of all

  associated with our movement.

• We want each individual to avail of opportunities for self-expression in the pursuit of

  Irish traditional music, song, dance and language.

• We promote inclusivity, equal opportunity for all regardless of gender, marital status,

  sexual orientation, age, disability, religious belief, or lack thereof, race, ethnicity or nationality.

  As a community, participation-based intergenerational movement Comhaltas supports the advancement of these values across the overall culture and arts sector and the elimination of any damaging behaviour.

  Comhaltas is a voluntary organisation with 430 Branches in Ireland and 18 countries dedicated to the preservation, promotion and development of the Irish cultural traditions delivering services throughout the island of Ireland, the Irish diaspora and across the globe. Comhaltas’s 18 cultural centres support its voluntary structures which collectively provide services to 3 million people annually. As a multi-faceted organisation Comhaltas is widely acknowledged for its unparalleled contribution to the vibrancy of Irish traditional music today, especially amongst young people, throughout Ireland and among the Irish Diaspora; this has largely been achieved through its holistic educational programme. The various strands of its education programme are facilitated and delivered through its democratic structures as are all Comhaltas events, at every level up to and including Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann which consistently attracts c. 500,000 people.

  COTHROMAÍOCHT: Respect; Equality; Opportunity, offers an insight into the scale and scope of CCÉ’s activities and projects. It details statistically Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann’s status in relation to gender balance throughout the organisation and outlines our intended delivery of a range of training and mentoring supports and resources at all levels, designed to further advance a positive and lasting culture of respect and dignity throughout Comhaltas and the overall Irish cultural sector. Throughout its 70 years in existence Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann has remained committed to the ideals of providing appropriate opportunities for young people and all those who engage with the Irish cultural traditions, providing opportunities for self-expression and enabling them to reach their full potential.

  Comhaltas looks forward to working with the Minister and the Department in the advancement of COTHROMAÍOCHT: Respect; Equality; Opportunity.
