The Irish Language Commissioner, Pól Deeds, has said that the conversation around language and identity is toxic, has gotten worse, and has gone backwards. 

BELFAST will officially strike the first note of the Comhaltas Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann 2026 this Sunday 2 August, from 12 noon, with a momentous opening event at City Hall. 

Rev Jack Lamb conducted a  Poetic Tour of Friar’s Bush Graveyard (Friar's Bush Graveyard, Stranmillis Road) as part of Féile an Phobail. This ancient graveyard is the evocative setting for three voices sharing poetry of death, burial and remembrance. The story of this place is told through a diverse selection of verse, including works about the graveyard and those buried there. The tour is described as an emotional journey into our mortality.

IT is a busy Thursday at Féile an Phobail with the focus on St Mary's University College and a number of notable talks, debates and discussions set to take place.
