We were also very privileged to have the Mexican Ambassador Carlos Garcia De Alba Dublin City Manager John Tierney, our festival partners Diageo, Failte Ireland, Tourism Ireland and Rte join us in launching the festival. We also want to say a huge thanks to the Scurlogstown Olympiad who popped along with their High Nellie and barrels of hay to entice us all into the Traditional Irish Trim Haymaking festival and to the Arlington Hotel for the fantastic food after all the singing and dancing we’d built up quite an appetite!
