How many Connacht Céilí Bands in the All-Ireland?

Unless there's a mistake on the results page (see http://comhaltas.ie/press_room/detail/connacht_fleadh_results_2008/) it looks like there will be three céilí bands from this province competing at the All-Ireland. Two bands are shown in second place as follows:-

1. Dartry Céilí Band, CCÉ, Fred Finn, Sligeach
2. Innisfree Céilí Band, CCÉ, Fred Finn, Sligeach
2. Banna Ceoil na d’Treabh, Gaillimh

I haven't heard of the Dartry before but they must be a mighty outfit to come ahead of both the Innisfree and the Tribes who put in good performances in Tullamore last year. Can anyone who may have been at the competition confirm that the result is correct?
