New Murals
These new murals have replaced the old ones in the lane beside St. Patrick’s Hall. I got my visiting granddaughter to pose with the wall art for us.
These lovely pieces are designed with a gap for you to pose in.,
Aren’t they lovely?

Siamsa Tire in the U.S.
From newspaper archives
Irish Advocate NEW YORK, N.Y. SAT. NOV. 13, 1982
Irish Folk Theatre to Perform in U. S.
Siamsa Tire, the National Folk Theatre of Ireland, -will stage performances at nine centres throughout the United States from October 31st through November 15th. Siamsa recaptures in music, song and dance the many facets of rural life in Ireland during the period when Irish was the spoken language. It is performed nightly during the summer months in Tralee, County Kerry.
Directed and devised by Father Pat Ahern, the three-act performance, with cast of twenty-five, skilfully portrays traditional household and farm chores—churning the butter, plying the spinning wheel, threshing the corn, milking the cows—and features Ireland’s many folk customs, blessings and strange superstitions. All ends in a lively harvest festival dance. In bringing to life Ireland’s ancient culture in its many moods and merriment, Siamsa Tire offers the theatre lover unique and spectacular entertainment.
