Thank you to everyone for being patient while we resolved some issues with regards to the number of Qualifiers who will advance to World Championships in 2009, to represent the Southern Region. Some errors were made, however I am happy to announce, that under advice from An Coimisiun le Rinci Gaelacha, all qualifiers will remain in place, as announced at the recent Southern Region Oireachtas.

In addition, they will be joined by the following dancers:
- Sara Barton, McGinley Academy (Under 20 ladies)
- Moira Ragen, Culkin School of Traditional Irish Dance (Under 14 girls)

I apologize that these dancers were not announced on the day, and that they missed their moment on stage. But I am happy to be able to acknowledge their achievement here.

It is a testament to the growth and development of the Southern Region that we are now dealing with issues such as maximizing the number of qualifiers and large numbers of World medal holders, which are both relatively new phenomena in our region. We wish the very best of luck to all of our Qualifiers for a successful and enjoyable World Championships in Philadelphia.

Under 13 Girls result:

In addition to the above results, there has been a slight revision of the results of Under 13 girls, due to a transposing error. Dancer Haley Tanner, from the Watters School, now moves into 5th place. All awards and sashes given on the day, should be retained by the other dancers in this competition. Our apologies to Haley for this belated result and congratulations to all of the dancers for an excellent competition.
