Fleadh Cheoil 2016

I'm really looking forward to the Fleadh in Ennis, it will be great craic, I'm very fond of the Willie Clancy festival in Miltown Malbay, so another excuse to come to this amazing county and to play some tunes. I was at the Sligo Fleadh the last two years and it was amazing craic and some incredible tunes to be had.

To be honest, I'm dreading it and trying to move out for the time it's on.

The last time I was near a Fleadh my over-riding memories are:

People drinking and puking all over the streets, anti-social behaviour from the louts who have no interest in anything to do with the festival except causing trouble.
Noise all around the town till the early hours, litter everywhere and damage to people's property.

I don't know if anyone else is feeling the same way? Maybe I'm just an anti-social, miserable old git

I'm looking forward to it too. But I'm not from the town. It's true about the drinking, the litter and the noise until all hours. Probably the only town residents that are looking forward to it are the ones that are going to make a few €s on renting rooms out, or getting a few hours work in pubs, etc.

Well I'm living in Ennis & really looking forward to it. Will be great to have it and good for local businesses.

Clarecastle is a bit of a walk from town. The Eire Og GAA Club are doing camping also, or St. Flannans College. They would be much closer.

Id imagine there will be a regular shuttle bus organised from any official festival campsites.

It would be easier to stumble to Eire Og though.
