Elsewhere, Julie Ann McCaffrey of Botha CCÉ was placed second in the Newly Composed Songs in English (Any Age) section.

There were more than 50 classes and competitors from right across the island of Ireland, with a number of international competitors taking part from as far away as the United States of America.

All were united by a love of music and performance. Alongside the competition, many of those participating in the fleadh enjoyed taking part in live music sessions, with music being heard from street corners, pubs and anywhere were people gathered.
