Cllr Emmet Doyle: £10K Secured for Féis Doire Cholmcille, Following Aontú Motion

Aontú Cllr for Derry Emmet Doyle has welcomed news that Council will allocate £10,000 to the centenary of Féis Doire Cholmcille following a motion he proposed recently.

Cllr Doyle said:
“I am delighted that Council has been able to allocate £10,000 to assist in funding the Feis in its centenary year which was approved by Council today.

I have been in contact with the committee over recent months and had proposed a motion to ensure the Feis wouldn’t miss out on funding given its prominence in the area and the celebration of 100 years which Councillors unanimously backed.

This funding will contribute to the committee being able to move forward with their ambitious programme to celebrate a momentous history which has involved many thousands of local people and boosted the careers of many household names.”

The Irish political system is radically broken



In Ireland the vast majority of elected representatives put a finger in the air to check which way the political wind is blowing. They have one eye on their leaders – seeking brownie points – and another eye keeping their seat safe. If elected reps shut up and do as they’re told, they are promoted; if they stand up for what they believe in, they are demoted. No wonder we have the political class we have. No wonder one point one billion euro is being buried in a hole under the National Children’s Hospital and that Stormont is in stalemate.



Throughout Ireland, many people are now afraid to say what they feel, many are afraid to respectfully engage on a range of different topics. Many feel there is a new censorship and a new political correctness in Ireland, that opposition to the establishment is being deleted.



Respectful opposition is not the enemy. Respectful opposition is a critical element of a functional democracy. Aontú will have the backbone to stand up, without fear, for you.
