A food stall trader apologises after a video circulated online appears to show music associated with the pro-IRA Wolfe Tones being played at Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann. Reports say the clip shows the song coming from the stall during the arts and music festival in Belfast and the incident is linked to the trader’s role at the event. Both outlets describe the situation as accidental, with the trader issuing an apology following public attention to the footage. The festival is widely known as a major event for Irish traditional music and culture, and the appearance of politically contentious content in the festival setting prompts criticism and renewed discussion online. The reports focus on the trader’s response and the emergence of the video rather than on any further disciplinary measures or official findings at the time of publication. The outlets do not indicate the source of the video beyond its online circulation, nor do they provide additional details on whether the music was requested, scheduled, or played in error.
