Siege of Ennis World Record Attempt Fails

The people of County Clare tried but unfortunately failed to break the Guinness record for the most persons to dance the Siege of Ennis in one location.  

Although thousands did turn out for the attempt around the Fair Green in Ennis, it was not the 10,000 people that organisers had hoped for. Instead around 6,000 people took to the streets to dance the 'Siege of Ennis'. The turnout was not enough to beat the 8,400 who danced with Michael Flatley in Cork in 2005.
