Ceiliúradh Lá Fhéile Pádraig / St. Patrick's Day Celebrations 2019
A massive thank you to all the members of Roger Casements GAC and Geraldines CC, along with the local community, who turned out in force to celebrate St. Patrick's Day with a grand celebration of Irish Language, Traditional Irish Music and Dancing. It was a wonderful spectacle to witness and appreciate the amount of culture and talent in our clubs and to pull together to celebrate St. Patrick's Day in style. Many thanks to all the musicians, both Juniors and Seniors alike, and to the many dancers who gave up their time to facilitate this wonderful event! Thanks to our Irish Dancing coordinators, Carla McGrogan, Orla Friel and Marie Smith, without their support this event would not have been such a success.See more pictures of the St. Patrick's Day Celebrations in the Gallery Section.
