Drimoleague in party mood for 25th year of Féile Beag

Drimoleague ICA Guild always plays a prominent part in the annual Féile Beag, which has run for 21 years, and this year was no different.

Three teams from the 30-member guild took part in the opening fancy dress parade. ‘Beds for Nursing Homes’ took first prize, ‘Lusitania — 100 years’ came second, while the third fancy dress act was themed around the recent referendum.

Tadhg Daly, CEO of Nursing Homes Ireland and a Drimoleague native, opened the festival — one reason for choosing the nursing homes theme, said Noreen O’Connell, guild vice-president and newly elected Cork Federation PRO.
