We are delighted that @ESBGroup has today announced plans to partner with the Irish Heritage Trust to develop No. 12 Fitzwilliam Street Lower as a museum. This is an exciting opportunity to bring a heritage property to life in Dublin’s South Georgian core. 1/2

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 👏

The melodies and stories thoughtfully woven through ‘In The Midst of Plenty’ are the merging of archive material from the collection @strokestownpark with music and a powerful human story from the height of the #GreatFamine.
