Are you having technical issues with the Fada's displaying correctly on this page?  Does a wierd box showup instead of the letter?  I often avoid using fada's (the gaelige accent mark above certain letters) since they don't always display correctly on every style of computer, across all the operating systems, and all the different browsers.   I have included the fada's on this page out of respect to the Irish nature of this event.  If you are having problems seeing the full text in Mozilla for instance, one option is to go under view, character encoding,  and set it to Western ( ISO-8859-1)  or try toggling it to Unicode (UTF-8).  Some computer setups will require you to change your keyboard language to "gaelige" for the fada to display correctly.  For others, you need to download & install a celtic gaelige font on your computer. Sorry, there's just too many "tweaks" reqd for the array of computers  to list them all here.  I hope those hints work for you.
 
 Stay tuned for updates
