Now that we’ve finally recovered from the weekend we’d like to thank a moment to thank everyone in Athlone and all over the country for a wonderful circuit 2022.
Everyone in Team Prosperous had a fantastic experience this year and we’re beyond thrilled to see the circuit back with such a bang! 💥
Thank you Regina Bushell & the committee for a week and gala to remember, to Michael Poyner for his adjudication in Athlone, Aodh McCay Drama for his adjudication in the Ulster finals and every other committee member and adjudicator we had the pleasure of crossing paths with this year that made the circuit a ride to remember!

Sad passing of gifted actor stuns Killarney
An air of almost total disbelief and grief descended on Killarney on Saturday evening when word filtered through of the shock passing of Donal (Donie) Courtney, a hugely popular local actor, drama …Such sad news. He was such a talent and wonderful teacher. May he rest in peace.
Heartbreaking news for Donals family & the community of Killarney as well as a huge loss to Irelands drama fraternity. RIP Donal, you lovely, charming, funny & incredibly talented man - gone far too soon.
Very sad news indeed. RIP Donal. Sincere condolences to his family.
Rip. Sympathy ro his wife and children and extended family
RIP. He is tragic loss to family and theatre.
An awfull lot of people gone from the drama world in the last couple of years so we must remember them well and carry on cos that’s what the drama world does.
Sad news may he rest in peace 🕊️
RIP
Condolences to all the Courtney family.R.I.P. Donal
Oh, this is terribly sad news indeed. I will always remember his piece about Monsignor Hugh O'Flaherty. What an awful loss. Very sad news.
The happy faces sum it up. Great partnership with RTÉ, Westmeath County Council, our local sponsors and all under the auspices of the Amateur Drama Council of Ireland. A thoroughly enjoyable All Ireland Drama Festival!
Huge congratulations to all of the winners at the RTÉ All Ireland Drama Festival tonight.
