Cois Fharraige might still go ahead in Kilkee this year despite fears that the MCD run festival would not go ahead.The music festival attracted up to 15,000 music fans in 2008. However, the sponsors of the previous festivals have not renewed their interest this year, leaving the three day festival in limbo. Accotding to the Limerick Leader newspaper , a meeting was held in the seaside resort on Monday evening between local business people and an MCD official with the intention of ensuring the festival goes ahead again this year.
"An MCD official met with Kilkee business people this Monday - for a last chance meeting," said a source who attended the meeting. "The festival will be relying heavily on local business people and Clare Co. Council to come up with some form of sponsorship. We have grouped together and there is a lot of local support for this to still go ahead - there is huge potential with this festival to draw large crowds to Kilkee."
