Secaucus Celtic Trade Show 0
For the first time in many years, we are delighted to announce that we will be attending the Celtic Trade Show in Secaucus, New Jersey. This stems from our most successful Showcase Trade Show in Dublin last January.
Secaucus is hosted in the wonderful Embassy Suites where since Secaucus' inception, has been a brilliant opportunity for USA and Canadian buyers to enhance existing business relationships and create new business relationships with many Irish businesses.

Gaelic Football 0
Gaelic football is one of Ireland's national sports. It is a team sport and local pride is one of the main motivators of the game. Whether you tog out in community or county colours, pride and passion fuel you on that pitch. The leather football is punted, passed and kicked from the goalposts at one end of the pitch to the other. This is a high energy and stamina match between teams that both desperately want to win. Gaelic football is an amateur sport. Players are not paid to play; players line out in their club and county colours with passion and pride.- Kevin Jones
