Wow! What a line-up of speakers! It makes me wish I was in Ireland. I do hope they record the event and make it available for us who are not able to be present. I would pay money for those talks on tape.
Cardinal Pell? Really, what does he know about good liturgy? I\’d think there are a few issues with aesthetics here:

It looks excellent! Will it be recorded?
May I also add that on the Sunday Cardinal Pell will celebrate a Pontifical High Mass (not sure if its EF or OF) at 12.00 noon in St Peter and Paul’s church in Cork City.
Music at Sunday and Monday masses will be provided by the Lassus Scholars who regularly provide music at the Latin Mass in Dublin. On Sunday they will perform Missa Brevis by Palestrina and on Monday they will perform Missa Tu Es Petrus by Palestrina
In Nomine Christi,
