All seemed fine here when we woke up earlier. Listening to new we feel fortunate to have power. A neighbour has just posted this picture into our WhatsApp group. A row of trees has fallen on a power line on our lane. Woah! #Sandyford #Speirgorm #StormÉowyn

I was fortunate to see the powerful portrayal of The Dead - adapted and directed by Louise Lowe. It is a brilliant production by ANU and Landmark Productions at MOLI. WOW it was superb. Thank you to all involved #ArtsCouncil

As a volunteer with Irish Girl Guides' Centenary Senior Branch unit, I'm excited to share that we've been selected for Tesco @ Dundrum Town Centre community token scheme. Our unit empowers young women aged 14-25 through leadership development and community service.

Had the pleasure of being away with my local group of girl guides. Our activities were based on SDG 14 Life Below Water. We went to the beach and learned about impact of litter, plastics and the role each of us can play. Picture - girl led code of conduct for weekend.

At #NHICareAwards23 the joy and care Nursing Home staff bring to their jobs was so evident. It made me think of Maya Angelou who said "Try to be a rainbow in someone’s cloudy day." Yesterday, I witnessed an Aurora Borealis of human compassion, kindness and care.

Well done everyone. #ProudBoardChair

At our Senior Branch meeting, we gave two of our leaders their purple neckerchiefs. It was such a brilliant moment. I am so lucky to be volunteering with such amazing young women #IrishGirlGuides

Thank you to all NSAC members and the secretariat, both past and present, for your care, commitment and public service. For most of my term, we were fortunate to be chaired by Professor Niall O’Higgins and as my term closed, it was a delight to welcome Dr Suzanne Crowe as Chair
