The recently held Thomond Feis in Limerick showcased the city’s prowess not only in dancing but also in Irish music and the Irish language movement. Limerick demonstrated its standing among the leading Gaelic centres in Munster. Father Bewerunge and other judges praised the exceptional quality of part-singing, encouraging Limerick choirs to participate in the Feis Ceoil and the Oireachtas without hesitation. Dr Hyde and Mr J. J. Doyle also commended the style and substance of the essays and literary compositions, instilling hope that Limerick writers will contribute significantly to the growing body of modern Gaelic literature.
