New branches to the league were formed in America, Nova Scotia and Australia. Groups as far afield as Argentina and Japan are affiliated to the league. Whilst this revival has continued and the recent referendum in Scotland and then Wales will lead to a form of Assembly in those countries there are many reasons for not becoming complacent. The importance of the identity of regions within the European Union offers some hope for the aims of the Celtic League, but whilst Spain has moved towards a recognition of the Catalonians and other groups, the Celtic areas have been less fortunate. Ireland remains a divided country, the assemblies for Scotland and Wales will have limited powers, the recognition of the importance of identity for Brittany and Cornwall has made little progress.
Political issues remain and a furtherance of aims requires a strong unity between Celtic peoples.
At other levels there is greater hope, the increase in Inter-Celtic festivals has started to involve more young people, the teaching of Celtic languages is on the increase, the increased awareness of the special relationship between Celtic peoples promises much. The raising of awareness through tourism is obvious in both Ireland and Scotland, though Wales has seemed less adventurous and even reluctant to promote its heritage abroad leaving most effort to individuals and commercial groups. As more people are made aware of the value of a Celtic heritage there will be greater support and this support is often gained by providing happy and long-lasting memories of visits to the Celtic countries. At the same time it is essential that political and cultural strands do not become separated. The songs which tell of the long struggle in Ireland have political and cultural strands, as do many from other Celtic countries.
