Delighted I got to dust off my paintbrushes this afternoon & attend the first of four workshops @strokestownpark on the art of petrykivka painting with Ukrainian artist-in-residence Olena Kovalevych. A beautifully intricate art form that is not easy to master 😅
Always exciting when I get to work with artists & bring new exhibitions to our @IrHeritageTrust properties. Here’s a sneak peek from the install of Joe McCaul’s large-scale ceramic sculpture exhibition, The Potato People, opening this week @strokestownpark.
So pleased I got to see ‘In the Midst of Plenty’ in the @mullingarartsc tonight. A really powerful & evocative portrayal of the Great Irish Famine told through the lens of the stories behind @strokestownpark & @famineway. The standing ovation was so well deserved 👏
‘In the Midst of Plenty’ is a new contemporary folk musical from Enchanted Croi Theatre touring Ireland in May, June, and July. Premiering at the @mullingarartsc May 25 and touring to Cavan, @backstageIRL @THTG @HawksWellSligo @watersidetheatr +more.
What an absolute treat to be shown around @NewbridgeHF by @CathalDS today.
A truly impressive collection that is combined with thoughtful touches of well-placed interpretation.

As one of the first townhouses built on Dublin’s first Georgian Sq, No. 11 Parnell Sq is a historically significant 250 year old building that has many layers of history & a rich tapestry of stories to tell. Delighted to share some of these stories with Minister @noonan_malcolm
Minister @noonan_malcolm was shown around No.11 Parnell Square by @EmmaOToole2 of the #IrishHeritageTrust before launching our plans.

Great news! Hendrix returned home late last night. Ravenous and dehydrated, but he’s okay & sleeping now. So relieved! Thank you so so much to everyone that retweeted & shared in an effort to find him. x
Please RT: Our lovely ginger cat is missing in the Drumcondra area! Hendrix is a 1-year-old male, short-haired ginger cat, with white socks and a white beard. He's neutered and microchipped. If you see him please get in touch, he's really missed.
