The visit of the horse unit from An Garda Síochána was a very welcome addition to the event.The curtain has come down on a wonderful week of Irish music, song and dance with the staging of Fleadh Cheoil na Mumhan in Thurles over the past week. While competitions in the various disciplines were a major part of the fleadh, the involvement of the public is the various music sessions and concerts about the town was huge and made the event very special.
