At the June 2026 Comhairle na Mumhan meeting, a decision was taken to limit the number of video recording permits issued for all team competitions — Céilí Bands, Grúpaí Ceoil, Céilí Dancing, and Set Dancing — to a maximum of two recording permits per team performance.
Group Leaders/Branch Secretaries are requested to nominate two designated recorders to video record each performance by a team. Recordings may then be shared by the designated recorder with parents and group members via WhatsApp, email, appropriate private channels within the team (not on social media).
Important Conditions:
-
Recording is allowed only where you have prior permission, affiliation with the team and competitor(s), and a valid permit.
-
Recordings are for private use only, not for use on social media.
-
Each permit is valid for one specific performance only.
-
Permits are issued solely to the named videographer in the form below and are non-transferable.
-
A separate form must be submitted for each competition you wish to record.

Please ensure you have entered the correct email address below - you will be sent a copy of this permit and must present this to the Call Clerk / Steward (printed hard copy) BEFORE recording.
