Super to attend this and catch up with Geraldine O’Brien my ATU Connemara colleague who has work included in STAMP 👏👏👏

Dereliction & vacancy continues to be a serious issue in Drogheda. The town now has a large number of historic 'buildings at risk'. Matthews pub (known as McPhails), Laurence St. A structural issue arose to the front elevation c. 5 yrs ago resulting in closure. #DerelictIreland

This is one of Dublin’s last 1903 Scotch Standard lampposts to retain its original pulley wheel in its holder near the shaft collar. This was used in the days before mechanised hoists to lower the original globe lamp to access its carbon arc rod, which needed regular replacement.

i like blur but it’s still funny to see a group of middle aged men realise in real time their music is obsolete to an entire generation lol

Like a painting: a stunning burst of April sun today, at Leenane graveyard overlooking Killary Fjord #Connemara

“The trees are coming into leaf
Like something almost being said;

Begin afresh, afresh, afresh.”

Always think of the Philip Larkin poem at this time of year 🌳

Got a worried email from my sister last night asking had my WhatsApp been hacked… I was quickly typing this in the darkness of the theatre and was afraid Adrian would see me texting 😂

He later said he could see from his prison cell window Knocknarea (aka Queen Maeve’s grave). He had a deep appreciation for Irish history & heritage 🙌

Always lovely to see Irish Customs and Rituals in the wild. It's such a wonderful book and only seems to get more popular as time goes on.

The ‘borrowed days’ folktale: the old cow boasted March’s harsh weather couldn’t kill her, so March borrowed 3 days from April unleashing such bad weather that it killed her & skinned her, too. Old chat with SeánMoncrieff below discussing this & other Irish weatherlore
