A chairde,

Significant progress has been made over the past ten days regarding the refund of entry fees for Oireachtas Rince na Cruinne 2020. 

At this stage we can confirm that 95% of entry fee refunds have been processed by the office staff and returned to teachers’ credit cards, although these may still take a day or two to appear on credit card statements due to the Easter banking shutdown.

We would advise that a total of 22 schools have not yet received their refunds primarily due to the fact that the credit cards that were used have since expired. 

The office will be contacting these schools today,Tuesday April 14th 2020 to make the relevant arrangements for their entry fees to be returned via bank transfer later this week. 

Once again we thank everyone for their patience during this huge exercise. 

It is with great sadness that we advise of the passing of Mary Mulcahy, Mallow County Cork. Mrs Mulcahy was a teacher, adjudicator, and examiner with CLRG for many years and was a former Cathaoirleach of Comhairle na Mumhan and a member of An Coimisiun le Rincí Gaelacha.

She was the honoree at Oireachtas na h-Éireann 2020 where her valued contributions to Irish dance were acknowledged and celebrated . Our sympathy to her daughters Breda Mulcahy ADCRG and Eileen Mulcahy ADCRG and extended family and friends.

Ar dheis Dé go raibh sí.

The deaths have occurred of Francie & Jim McQuaid, Father and Uncle respectively, of Gerard McQuaid, BG. 

Our thoughts and prayers are with all the McQuaid family at this time.

May they rest in peace.
