Hard luck to Fionn Whelan, who represented Blessington and Wicklow GAA in a packed Wexford Opera House on Sun 16 April. It was an early start for Fionn, who had a sound check at 11.50am. The competition commenced at 3 pm. Fionn was 2nd up in his category Amhránaiocht Aonair (solo singing), and he gave it 100%. Fionn had excellent support on the day from family, friends, and Blessington GAA.
