It can be truly said that Enniscorthy is<br />
famous in song and in story. In our school<br />
days we learned of valiant deeds and<br />
shattered dreams on Vinegar Hill. We<br />

sensed the unspeakable trauma wh ich<br />
befell a proud people w ho could no longer<br />
suffer the yoke of slavery.<br />
Enniscorthy in 1999 at Fleadh Cheoil<br />
na hEireann bore testimony to the<br />
resi I ience of the I rish race and thei r<br />
distinctive cu lture. Amidst the echoes of<br />
history, ou r national characteristics - music,<br />
song, dance and language - comforted the<br />
ghosts of the past and brought forth a rich<br />
harvest from a scorched earth. Here is a<br />
triumph of hope over dispair - a salute to<br />
liberty and fraternity.<br />
The Fleadh is a ce lebration of cul tural<br />
survival - a ce lebration in which all ou r<br />
people participate, joined by people from<br />
all over the world. Music and friendship<br />
reigned supreme in the congen ial company<br />
of th e boys and girls of Wexford.<br />
The Fleadh committee, in the proud<br />
tradition of their noble ancestors, gave<br />
unstinted serv ice to the Iri sh nation. They<br />
knew from the very successfu l Fleadh held<br />
in Enniscorthy in 1967 that the town has an<br />
ambience conducive to the success of this<br />
mammoth celebration of Irishness .<br />
Thousands answered the clari on ca ll to<br />
this great extravaganza of traditional arts<br />
and excellence. Young and old, Catholic,<br />
Protestant and Dissenter, the Irish and their<br />
friends from abroad, all joined together in a<br />
sp irit of cu ltural harmony which has roots<br />
in the vis ion and hi story of the hallowed<br />
spot which is Enniscorthy.
