President Higgins to perform one of his last civic duties at the official opening of Wexford's Fleadh Cheoil 2025
Confirming the president's appearance, chief executive of Wexford County Council (WCC) Eddie Taaffe said there were also tentative plans to have a fireworks display on the closing night of the Fleadh a week later.
'That will be a jam-packed evening on the Gig Rig, headlined by the All-Ireland winning ceilí band, we're also hoping to have a fireworks display on the night as well, to mark the end of what will hopefully be two successful Fleadhs in Wexford,' he said.
That closing ceremony will also see the Fleadh baton passed to a delegation from Belfast as it prepares to emulate Wexford's successful staging of two consecutive events.
With the event now just weeks away, Mr Taaffe said there will be a 'certain amount of disruption' in Wexford town in the coming days as crews prepare for the arrival of an estimated 700,000 people to the county. ,
Traffic management plans, including the bus schedules, are on the Fleadh Cheoil website.

Braveheart faithful join cast and Hollywood star Gibson to mark 30th anniversary of production
As part of the 30th anniversary celebrations of the film Braveheart, a large crowd descended on Trim to meet cast members, including Mel Gibson. In Trim Court Hotel, across from Trim Castle, fans and extras from the film queued for up to 90 minutes to get film posters and other memorabilia signed by the cast. The celebrations were part of the King John Summer Prom being held in the town over the weekend. Paul Wilson with his poster. Photograph: Stephen Farrell Some people travelled from abroad to be there , including Paul Wilson (42) from Irvine, Scotland. He explained that, as well as getting a Braveheart poster signed by the cast, he also had a photograph he took of the valley in Glencoe, Scotland, where Gibson stood during the film, signed by the star. 'That meant an awful lot to me,' said Wilson. READ MORE He has always had an interest in the history of Scotland and feels the film has had a profound effect on the people there. 'Thanks to Braveheart, it gave Scots a sense of pride and patriotism, it inspired more people to think about independence. That is still there,' he said. William Wallace, who is the subject of the film and is played by Gibson, was a national hero in Scotland in the late 13th and early 14th centuries and helped inspire resistance against England's King Edward I. Locations in Ireland used for the film include Trim Castle, Bective Abbey, which is to the east of Trim, and the Curragh in Co Kildare. During filming, members of the FCA (Fórsa Cosanta Áitiúil), the previous name for the reserve force of the Irish Army, were used as battle scene extras, including Gary Downes (47) and Vinnie McConnell (47), who were also in Trim today.

Photograph: Stephen Farrell Downes, who is from Dublin but lives in Alicante, Spain, said that during filming, he and McConnell received a photograph of Gibson in full battle dress and blue face paint which the actor signed today. 'When Mel heard we had the photos, we met him at 10 o'clock this morning. He's a gentleman, he took time out to meet us. When he saw the photos, he said, 'oh my god, the Panavision camera!',' said Downes. Panavision cameras were used to shoot various scenes in the film. McConnell, who is from Firhouse, Dublin, and who was a member of the FCA in Cathal Brugha Barracks, said that he and Downes were 16 years old at the time of the film. 'We put peat moss on any exposed skin to reflect the dirty look,' he added. Downes recalled some of his memories of being on set. 'It was one of the hottest summers, we would be up at 4am, Mel was a very good horseman, the craic in the barracks at night time was great.' Another extra present for the signing this morning, and who was also an FCA member, was Eamonn Moloney (49). 'I got my Leaving Cert results on the Curragh. I was a member of the 22nd Infantry Ennis, F platoon. There were three of us on the shoot [and] we called ourselves F platoon. We were the last to get our costumes, we got the same coloured tartan as Mel,' he said. He recalled that despite being extras, they were up close and personal with the stars. Stunt performances were a standout memory for Moloney, who recalled being 'surrounded by sheets of fire in Ballymore Eustace'. He was also at the signing to extend his thanks to Gibson and the cast, as his experience gave him a great sense of confidence. 'I'm still proud 30 years later to have been part of it,' he added. John Mitchell: 'I can visit all the monuments and cairns to William Wallace that stand to this day.' Photograph: Stephen Farrell Another Scot who travelled over for the celebration was John Mitchell (50), from East Renfrewshire, in Scotland. 'I can visit all the monuments and cairns to William Wallace that stand to this day,' he said. It is reputed that Wallace was born near Paisley, which is about 10km west of Glasgow, in about the year 1270.

Michael Flatley quiet on Áras bid during surprise Wexford Fleadh visit and performance
Michael Flatley gave nothing away about his rumored bid for the Áras when he arrived in Wexford on Saturday for Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann. Dressed in blue jeans, a white T-shirt and runners, topped with a navy jacket, he posed with gardaí, fans, musicians, and locals near the Talbot Hotel after arriving just after 1pm. The Lord of the Dance is expected to announce he will enter the presidential race but remained tight-lipped when asked by reporters, simply smiling in response. Sources told the Irish Examiner last month he is considering running but has yet to make an official statement. Instead, he surprised the crowds with an impromptu musical performance on Wexford's Quayfront at the Main Gig Rig. The dancer proved he is also a skilled flute player, performing a reel as the crowd clapped along. He posed with members of the local force, including Garda Catty Burke and Sergeant Seamus Muldowney, as well as local Labour TD and former Lord Mayor George Lawlor. His sister Annie, to whom he is close, also attended to support him. Michael Flatley with his sister Anne-Marie at the Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann in Wexford. Picture: Alison O'Reilly Mr Lawlor, PRO for the Fleadh said the famous Irish dancer has a long history with Wexford, so it was no surprise to see him there. 'His son attended an Irish school here last year and he also came to the Fleadh then too' he said. 'He has been a Comhaltas all his life since his early days learning the flute and Irish dancing in Chicago. 'He is a huge fan of Wexford, and very supportive of the town. The crowds were delighted to see him, he walked around and spoke to everyone, he didn't refuse a selfie and spoke to the young musicians. 'We were delighted to see a man of such standing and tradition attending the fleadh and he received a very warm reception, with everyone coming to say hello – he never turned anyone away. 'He went onto the gig rig and tens of thousands where there as he played the flute for them'. Scenes during Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann 2025 in Wexford town. Picture: Gareth Chaney Michael Flatley was not the only famous face to make a surprise visit to the festival. Ed Sheeran's management made the owners of The Sky & Ground pub swear to keep his performance a secret ahead of his unannounced gig on Tuesday night. The word quickly spread that the Galway Girl singer was in the traditional pub, and dozens flocked to catch a glimpse. The festival, which began on August 3, will finish tomorrow, August 10. This is the second year the town has hosted the event. 'This has been a wonderful success for the second year in a row we have broken attendance records, and it has been so well organised. We are delighted with the success' continued Mr Lawlor. 'By Sunday evening more than 700,000 people will have attended the event before we hand it over to Belfast who will host the Fleadh for the next two years. 'Up to 150,000 were in attendance in the town on Saturday alone, and there has been a constant stream of fans all week.' Scenes during Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann 2025 in Wexford town. Picture: Gareth Chaney On Saturday, there was no sign of the crowds easing. There was at least a 30-minute traffic delay approaching Wexford, with Park & Ride facilities set up outside the town. Most service stations within a 20km radius had closed their public toilets as crowds tried to leave cars wherever possible and walk to the event. Festivalgoers coped with soaring temperatures of 22C, wearing shorts and T-shirts, with some even brave enough to wear swimsuits while enjoying the colourful event.

Power Blue downs True Love in Phoenix Stakes shock at the Curragh
True Love suffered a shock defeat as Power Blue turned around previous form to win the Keeneland Phoenix Stakes at the Curragh. The Adrian Murray-trained Power Blue was beaten five and three-quarter lengths by Aidan O'Brien's True Love in the Railway Stakes last time out and as a result she was sent off a 1-4 favourite in the absence of stablemate Gstaad, who was a non runner. Power Blue was one of two runners for Amo Racing along with Do Bronxs and the pair were prominent from the off, with Ryan Moore sitting on their heels aboard True Love. Do Bronxs dropped away quickly when the race began in earnest and it looked as though True Love was coming to win with a furlong to run but 10-1 shot Power Blue was incredibly game for jockey David Egan, digging deep to repel her challenge by a length and a half. READ MORE It was a further length and three-quarters back to Green Sense in third. Power Blue's win completed a 70-1 Group race double for trainer Murray and Amo Racing after Bucanero Fuerte secured a game front-running success in the Group Three FBD Hotels And Resorts Phoenix Sprint Stakes. The four-year-old won the Group One Phoenix Stakes at this fixture in 2023 and after a mixed run of luck last year, he was retired to stand at stud. However, Bucanero Fuerte's stallion career was unsuccessful and he returned to the care of Murray, winning at Naas in May before a setback derailed subsequent plans at Royal Ascot. Back in top form for this contest, Egan took the initiative early on and while Art Power tried to match him, Bucanero Fuerte (11-2) looked to have his measure with a furlong to run. My Mate Alfie and Kind Of Blue both made their bids for glory in the final of six furlongs, but Bucanero Fuerte was just too strong, going on to win by a length and quarter. Owner Kia Joorabchian said: 'A lot of credit to Adrian [Murray] and Robson [Aguiar] for the training performance there and David gave him an unbelievable ride – just the way he likes to be ridden. 'He's a tough horse who has given us a lot of joy and a lot of tough days as well with health scares. He had a colic issue at Ascot [this year]. 'I'm glad to see him back happy on the track. We're definitely not taking him out of Ireland now for a while! 'He could be aimed at the Flying Five as he loves the Curragh.' Looking forward to the second half of the season, Joorabchian added: 'We have much deeper pedigrees and I'm expecting a better second half and we'll be in a very good place to lead into next year.'
