CEILI EVENTS: All Ceili dances must be danced in accordance with Ar Rinci Foirne. For the purpose of the Oireachtas, Lannigan’s Ball and Gates of Derry will be regarded as eight hand dances. For Gates of Derry, teams may line up horizontally or vertically. In Eight hand Ceilis, tops will be positioned with their backs to the adjudicators and must perform the following:
A-Lead B-Body C-Figure of choice (Tops only)

Some exceptions as taken from the World Syllabus:

1 Sweets of May – from the beginning up to and including the end of the 3rd figure.
2 Three Tunes –either up to and including the 1st Roly Poly, OR from Hook and Chain until the end.
3 Gates of Derry – from the beginning up to and including the swing around of the 1st repeat.
4 Lannigans Ball – the entire dance.
