Delighted to showcase some of the many highlights of Dublin City to international media from Denmark, Netherlands, Scotland & England who are reporting on a variety of the #tradfest performances @trad_fest to their combined readership of 4million.
Lovely to see US actor Patrick Duffy (remember Bobby Ewing ?) and his partner Linda Purl (remember Fonzie's girlfriend Ashley in Happy Days?) visiting Ireland this week. Tourism Ireland are working with Patrick to trace his roots in Mayo - a film will air in 2023 in the USA.
Fantastic interview. Great work Regina! We need women & men like you representing women mostly & sommen who are so traumatised & making the necessary changes via this bill. Hard to believe it was only in the 80s that Ireland as a country officially recognised the abuse of women!
I’ll be on @drivetimerte shortly to discuss my new Bill that will ensure victims of sexual abuse will not be re-traumatised during sentencing of their offender
. @Failte_Ireland and @TG4TV have joined forces with renowned Irish musician @SharonShannon99 on an exciting new series 'Heartlands' which fuses travel with music, uncovering a host of hidden gems along the River Shannon and #IrelandsHiddenHeartlands https://t.co/8KqgVrYJgI
I performed today: a short thread.
My hands are still shaking. I remember most people’s faces in the crowd. I ended up crying after my set. I didn’t mean to. Someone asked “how are you feeling.” Wasn’t ready.
