Thursday Day 4
Big day today with our first full stage show as Gaeilge in Belmullet. Brilliant co- conspirators Áine Ní Ghlinn, Chris Haughton and Myra Zepf alongside me. Who knew that Chis Haughton spoke Irish?
Meanwhile Jane Mitchell was next door doing a writing workshop!

#InternationalWomensDay, and every day, we pay tribute to our courageous, resilient Palestinian sisters. We mourn the Palestinian women killed by apartheid Israel, almost 9,000 of them in Gaza since October 7th. We send our solidarity to those imprisoned in Israel’s dungeons
Ooooh guess what I'll be curling up with this cold ❄ 🥶 January evening 🔥 📙 @KidsBooksIrel 💕💖

In a powerful display of solidarity and compassion, a 'CEASEFIRE NOW' banner has been raised on the iconic Liberty Hall in Dublin. @SIPTU
