Oireachtas na Gaeilge returns to Killarney after 92-year absence

"Details of what is described as Ireland’s longest-running arts festival, Oireachtas na Gaeilge, or assembly of Irish-related events, were announced in Killarney last night, writes Anne Lucey.

The great assembly returns to Killarney at the end of October for only the second time in the festival’s 113 years, and after an absence of 92 years.

As in medieval times, debates, storytelling, writing, singing and music will mark the event which is open to all ages.

Competitions will be held in disciplines including sean-nos singing, sean-nos dancing, violin, uilleann pipes, harp and duets. The festival takes place from Wednesday, October 27th, until Sunday, October 31st, and thousands are expected to attend."
