- Beírt Éile DVD: A video of two-hand dances
The purpose of this video is to meet the growing demand for more variety at céilithe, at which sets and/or céilí dances (mostly sets) predominate. The idea sprung from a Comhaltas workshop on 2-hand dances in Cois na hAbhna, Ennis, Co. Clare in November 2003. We hope that you will enjoy it.

- Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann DVD 2009
Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann, now one of the greatest cultural festivals in the world, was hosted in August 2009 for the third successive year in Tullamore Co. Offaly. The week-long festival of Irish culture, attracting over 1/4 million people and 10,000 musicians from many parts of the world, reflects the extraordinary success of Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann since its formation in 1951 to help preserve our cultural traditions.
This DVD, almost 3 hours in duration, captures much of the atmosphere and activities of the Fleadh — the concerts, competitions, informal sessions reflecting the different generations of musicians and including many All-Ireland champions, etc.
