On March 25 2023, the Martin McHugh Scholarship Award will presented.
This scholarship was established in 2006 by Jim Graven as Chairman of the West Virginia Feis.  It is awarded each year to an Irish step dancer from the Pittsburgh Area.  It was created in honor of Martin McHugh, a dedicated father of a step dancer and tireless feis volunteer.  Marty passed away in January 2006 at the age of 47.






One of the earliest known settlements in County Offaly is at Boora Bog which dates to the Mesolithic era. Excavations there provide evidence of a temporary settlement. Stone axes, arrowheads and blades were discovered which date to between 6,800 – 6,000 BCE.

After seventy years of disappointing economic performance the Republic became one of the fastest growing economies in the world. The Celtic Tiger started in the mid-1990s and boomed until 2001. It slowed down, only to pick up again in 2003. It slowed again in 2007 with recessions in 2009 and 2013 followed by comparative prosperity. The scandal of bank "bail-outs' saw Irelands debt rating go from AAA status to junk status.  Government brought in austerity budgets to repay debt.
