Guess what’s coming back soon?

Meantime, here’s a chance to say thankyou to Arts Council England and the players of The National Lottery for getting us started.

I’ve been trying to work out the words, but I simply don’t have them. So here’s the faintest of reflections.

When I’ve asked interviewees about heroes of or to the Diaspora* for our Plastic Pedestals section, Edna O’Brien is one of those names that comes up again and again.

Long may it be remembered and repeated.

Thankyou for the words, Edna. Thank you for the words.

*and she was both.

Seven years ago…

On this day in 2017, Irish Travellers received Minority Ethnic status in Ireland with specific protections under the Race Relations Act.

"It is a historic day for our Travellers and a proud day for Ireland" declared Taoiseach Enda Kenny on this historic moment for Irish Travellers and Ireland.
