Here are a few of my photos taken on Friday at the Oireachtas. On this day, all solo dancers under age U-13 competed, as well as all Ceili teams. My apologies for the poor lighting in some of these photos. I took very few podium photos; please be patient for Cheryl G's photos from the awards ceremony!
