People in Longford could help in accomodation search for Mullingar Fleadh

People in Longford are being encouraged to consider letting rooms in their homes for use as accommodation during this years All Ireland Fleadh in Mullingar.

The event during the end of July and the 1st week in August will see up to half a million people visiting the area and organisers say accommodation is always a big issue.

Anne Prendergast from the Fleadh Committee says people don't have to be Bord Failte members to register with the Fleadh.

She says they're interested in hearing from anyone in surrounding counties who may have one room in their house, or even have a whole house to rent.
