ICA news: Breda’s Cahill creative story takes top prize in Gael Linn competition

A Wexford woman, who spent teenage summers learning Irish in Ring where she was never off the céilí dance floor, is the national winner in a new ICA competition sponsored by Gael Linn.

Newly-elected Bree Guild president Breda Cahill came first for her scéal (story) on Comoradh (celebration).
