This year’s Fleadh Cheoil, which took place from Sunday, July 31st to Sunday, August 7th, saw over 5,000 competitors play, sing, and dance for All-Ireland titles across 230 competitions in Mullingar

The standards were high and the music more than lived up to the expectations of judges who had a very difficult job choosing winners for each category and competition.

Roscommon winners included: Emma Benson, CCÉ An Céideadh, Roscommon (1st place in 8D Cruit/Irish Harp for Over 18s); Emily Ní Chatháin, CCÉ Elphin, Roscommon (3rd place in 3D Feadóg Mhór/Flute Over 18s); Diarmuid Pléimeann, CCÉ Baile Ros Comáin (3rd place in 50A Storytelling U-12s); Aoife Ní Chonghaile, CCÉ Roscommon (2nd place in 50B Storytelling for ages 12-15); Patrick Mullooly, CCÉ Athlone (3rd place in 50C Storytelling for ages 15-18); and Aoife Ní Chonghaile, CCÉ Roscommon (2nd place in 51B Scéalaíocht ages 12-15).
