Castlederg Councillor Ruairí Mc Hugh has welcomed the news that the town has been selected as the venue to host next years Tyrone Fleadh, he said
''This is great news for Castlederg. The Tyrone Fleadh being held in the town next June for the first time ever is something that is already generating much enthusiasm and anticipation, the whole town is talking about it. Not only will it be a fantastic opportunity to promote Irish traditional music, song and dance but the amount of people the Fleadh will bring into the town can only but benefit local businesses and is a chance for the community here in Castlederg to show case our town to those visiting from other parts of Tyrone and further afield''
Paying tribute to the local branch of Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann who were responsible for the successful application, Aran Derg, Mc Hugh said,
''I know the local CCE branch Aran Derg have been working on this happening for some years now and I think the people involved deserve great credit for securing the Fleadh here in Castlederg. I have every confidence that they will be able to rise to the challenge of hosting an event like this and I have no doubt the people of the whole area will ensure the Fleadh is a great success and I would encourage everyone to get behind those organising the event by offering their support in any way they can''
''Certainly I in conjunction with my council colleagues will ensure that Strabane District Council will be playing our part in doing everything we can to assist the organisers of this event to make sure the Fleadh is a resounding success''
