@OireachtasNews@opwireland@SenatorMarkDaly Thank you for the wonderful welcome. It felt so good to share the centenary celebrations with you all and see so many women being honoured on the walls of Leinster House.
It's Tuesday! That means it's time to share our #ArtistoftheWeek, @EmmaStroude.Based in Sligo, Emma’s practice is underpinned by a dedication to life-drawing which has a strong influence on her work. Emma was the winner of The Cosgrove's Delicatessen Award @cairdefestival in 2019
