THE GATHERING WILL officially kick off tomorrow night with a major New Year’s Eve festival planned for Dublin’s city centre.

Thousands of people are expected to take to the streets for a concert and fireworks display which will mark the start of the year of events aimed at encouraging people to visit Ireland in 2013.

Concert-goers will pay €20 to see Imelda May and Bell X1 headline a gig at College Green, while a procession of light will see families join with fire-breathers, stilt-walkers and street entertainers in a procession through Dublin’s streets.

Organisers say the event will showcase Ireland and encourage tourists to visit.

“As The Gathering starts, it [the NYE festival] is the perfect advertisement for visiting this country and we will be doing all we can to make sure that Ireland benefits as much as possible from all the colour, variety and energy of the event,” said Ciara Sugrue of Fáilte Ireland.

Journalists from around 70 international broadcast and print media organisations have arrived in Dublin to cover the event, organisers said.

The festival will be broadcast live on RTE television, with Miriam O’Callaghan set to present a show from a purpose-built studio in College Green. The event will also be streamed live worldwide through the RTE website.

    Had organised Bristol Rovers reserves,Swansea city reserves, a team representing Aberdeen,Cork City and also a team from France to take part in a soccer tournament for the gathering. Applied for the grant got refused because the numbers were not large enough. I had 100 players traveling from outside Ireland and at least another 500 fans traveling over.Still not good enough, so I looked up the ones that were approved. Some are only bring in 50 – 100 people and they got € 2,500. The tournament is still going ahead without there tag line.

    In the US, cities organize a NYE celebration that includes cultural events–music recitals (not just pop–plenty of classical)–literary events, fireworks, public sing-alongs, the whole shebang. It is both free admission and alcohol-free in most cities. Families come out, streets are closed. Great time had by all. Best one I ever attended was in Atlanta, Georgia. Big, fun party with none of the usual alcohol-fueled stupidity you may find around other venues. You can actually take your family out on NYE and have fun without fear. Something to consider.
    With regard to “The Gathering”, that was a great and rare CD by Donal Lunny, Andy Irvine and others. As far as a tourism hook, I’d say the minister for sport, tourism and culture should be ashamed for floating this cynical and obvious come-on scheme. As a former tourist and a citizen on both sides of the Atlantic, it just has me shaking my head. You’re not going to fool anyone with this stuff. Just be sincere. That’s all you need to do. People are attracted to sincerity, cheerfulness, helpfulness, interesting well-presented history and beautiful scenery. You have that in spades. You don’t need the hype of “The Gathering”.

      We have what’s called “First Night” in Burlington Vermont. A all day event with something for everyone young old and in between ending with fireworks at midnight. It’s very successful and it’s billed as a alcohol free event.

      “First Night”, exactly, Declan. Thank you for putting that out there. Wonderful event. I’ve done the Atlanta, San Francisco, and even the Fairfax, CA first night. Some even do it once a month opening art galleries and the like on the first of each month.

    The hotel federation moan that visitor numbers are down but as soon as there is any type of event they ride people bareback for a room for a night or 2, When will they realise that nobody will want to come here to be ripped off for food /drinks and hotels.
    Rip off ireland is alive and well , the only gathering will be at the ports /airports for people getting out of here and probably never returning

      International acts? That would cost money, Anthony. The Gov are trying to spend as little as possible on this. My bro is coming home from Oz in June for his graduation. I joked if anyone official asks him ‘Are you home for The Gathering?’ he should reply ‘Yeah, I’m Gathering the rest of my stuff!’

    Not 2013 yet & I’ve heard enough of this “Gathering” already. If Our Politicians concentrated on investment in jobs there’d be no need for this gathering 80, 000 plus per year leaving Our Shores because of weak governance.

      Yes Ryan.
      But due to the large amounts of government enforced emigration over the years and
      due to the current governments huge boost to the emigrant figures,
      there will always be plenty of people forced to come home.

      What you have here is Fine Gael and Labour trying to gain praise for this sick form of “tourism”

    70 journalists from around the world will be here. Thats alot of publicity. Alot of people seem to want this gathering to fall flat on its face. Relax and enjoy it, I am sure who ever is running this is not in the position to create jobs around the country so that arguement about “they should be creating jobs” is null.

    Well the organisers can’t lose, they can say at the end of the year. So many came over for the gathering, people who were going to come anyway and who can prove them wrong. Same trick with the Registered and Paid line, they included the numbers who registered for exemption from the property tax with the ones who registered and paid. All tricks, lies and scams!

      What a load of pompous manure.

      FG and Labour got into government with the GET THE COWEN OUT vote and a pack of lies.
      Now Kenny and Co. want to pretend they are responsible for a few people coming home for a family funeral, wedding, christening, birthday, repossession, eviction, suicide etc.

      Why don’t they go out to departures with begging buckets and cadge of the people that they have betrayed?
      Because lets face it a lot of them won’t be coming back.

      The vile Irony of it all.
      Trying to con the very people whom the government banished from these shores.
      The victims of corrupt politics.
      Disgusting.
      Truly disgusting!

      “THE BEGGING 2013″

      Come home and see your family and friends being thrown out of their homes by the very same corrupt banks and government(s) that destroy(ed) your country.

      See HALF of your country men and women live below THE POVERTY LINE.

      Just imagine it LIVE MASS EVICTIONS (just like the FAMINE years) carried out by CORRUPT/CRIMINAL BANKS and their HIRED THUGS.

      Watch as these BANKER’S THUGS break into FARMS in the middle of the night and assault innocent families, Then watch closely as your TD’s make a skit of the situation as they suck SUBSIDIZED BEER DOWN THEIR SNOUTS from the comfort of THE DAIL BAR.
      “HA HA HA”
      “LET THEM EAT PIZZA”
      “HILARIOUS”

      Come see our “NATIONAL TREASURES”
      Our very own “TOMB OF THE KINGS” PRIORY HALL!
      GHOST ESTATES!
      UNFINISHED BUILDINGS!
      400 MILLION EURO VACANT BUILDING SITES!
      THOUSANDS OF VACANT SHOP UNITS!
      Not to mention our very own LITTLE VENICE (with a twist) Yes folks ENTIRE HOUSING ESTATES built on FLOOD PLAINS and SEWERAGE DUMPS.

      Why not BRING HOME a SOUVENIR, made from one of our NATIONAL TREASURES,
      YES FOLKS we have them, your very own HANDMADE IRISH PYRITE SOUVENIRS!!
      Want A JAR OF METHANE from a FAMILY’S BEDROOM IN THE MIDLANDS? YOU’VE GOT IT!!!

      SOUP KITCHENS and HOMELESS HOSTELS available for the discerning ECONOMY TRAVELLER.

      Please remember to SPEND, SPEND, SPEND plenty of money while you are here, so that our lazy government can collect lots of taxes to pay THE BONDHOLDERS their own fat FAT SALARIES AND PENSIONS.

      ALL CURRENCIES ACCEPTED (although we prefer payments in non euro tender).
      Come on, see your country being destroyed before your very eyes.

      Disclaimer: During your stay, please beware of large gangs of PICKPOCKETS posing as senior civil servants, bankers and TD”s.

    The gathering is just an empty pr exercise. It is all about getting people to come and no thought about what people will do when they get here. Yes there are events planned, most of which were happening already anyway, but what are tourists to do in between these events. Instead of squandering money on pr we should be investing in tourist infrastructure, instead of events the money should be used to help set up self sustaining company’s that will provide activities. Everything from outdoor adventure style pursuits to historical tours should be catered for. All this already exists in some places so it just needs to be promoted properly. Anyone who has been to places like New Zealand can see a model for this, there is almost too much to do there, ranging from the expensive to the free, all of it run well and with the ultimate enjoyment of the customer at he fore. If we want tourists not only to visit Ireland but to want to come back as well we need to provide an experience that’s rich in activity and value for money.

      For too many years have emigrants throughout the world sent money home to Ireland,
      to fill the gap left behind by blatant government corruption/criminality, ineptitude and laziness.

      Now our overpaid, inept, spineless,sleeveen, gombeen, stoogeen “government” want to try and make this Begging Farce “GRABBING” into the focal point of their time in power.

      It would pay them better to jail their corrupt/criminal bedfellows who destroyed this country.

      You are mistaken.
      This site belongs to an underclass who cannot understand that the Irish are intelligent enough to shrink from the propaganda of the Extreme Left. Couple that with Iran innate sense of doom these harbingers of misery would suck the life out of the froth on pint of Plain and rarely sleep as they churn their misery across the ether with their latest Vodaphone deal and cheap knock off iPhone.
      Their language is that of the adult cyber bully and there is no learning among them of the damage they may cause with their nasty and vicious comments about named politicians. Whatever damage they cause to our economy or the lives of politicians is of no meaning to them as they fester in their unpleasantness.

      The truth that hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of lives have been destroyed by corruption in our government(s).

      Government(s) that stood/stand by and allow(ed) their people to be abused physically/sexually/financially by large international organisations.

      Sorry for being so formal but have never been introduced and it’s unlikely that we mix in the same social, educational or business circles.
      What was your suggestion…….that our cowardly and spineless Government stood by while large International Organisations sexually abused our population!
      What a preposterous idea Mr Money but just to be quite correct in the matter would you be able to provide us with dates names and places please so these people can be prosecuted or are you just generalising about something that happened long before this Government came to offices.

      Revolting
      Please forgive me for my familiarity but you are so aptly named.
      We have more than thirty family members coming to share a special Day on the Hill of Slane and they will be travelling from Mexico, Canada, France, Spain and Australia.
      All together there will be ninety three of us and everybody found the Gathering as an excellent excuse to come back home for an anniversary .
      Really sorry you aren’t able to see the benefits but I trust that our contribution to the Irish economy will extend way beyond the taxes we pay and help in some small way to bring about a recovery.
      Am I foolish. Are you a taxpayer or what we sometimes call a nett receiver? Either way you would have to be very dense to oppose this marketing campaign.
