Looks like the Lord Mayor’s Certificate in Local Studies class had another great field trip with course tutor Cathy Scufil, as part of their course. This time the class travelled to the Blessington area and it looks like the weather cooperated to make it a great day out.
Thanks so much to all who made it to Dolphin's Barn library last night for this talk. We had a full house. For those who missed it, talk will be repeated in Walkinstown library Wed at 2pm. Many thanks to both library teams for arrangements
