History
Cluain Tarbh CCE, founded in 1963, served Dublin for 45 years. In 2008 the branch was dissolved in a highly controversial move by CCE HQ in a dispute over the governance of the Clasaċ Arts Centre of which the branch was the sponsoring body. On dissolution the executive committee were mandated by an overwhelming majority of the branch members to continue the branch activities as an independant entity - Ceoltoiri Chluain Tarbh - until such time as the issues between the branch and CCE HQ are resolved satisfactorily.
