Ennis will find out today if its bid to host the 2013 All Ireland Fleadh has been sucessful, however the "favourite" to stage the event is now back in the running.
Clare County Town along with Sligo and Derry had all applied to hold the event next year, with the northern city viewed as the front runner.
The Ulster Council then rejected Derry’s bid last weekend but has since reversed its decision not to endorse the submission ollowing a meeting of senior officers on Tuesday night.
The fleadh runs over 10 days beginning at the end of August, attracts up to 300 thousand visitors and is worth some 40 million euro to the host town or city.
The central council of Comhaltas Ceoltori Eireann meet today where a final decision on the 2013 host will be made
