CULTURE NIGHT AT ÁRAS AN UACHTARÁIN

A Real Success

The President of Ireland, Michael D. Higgins, and his wife, Sabina Higgins, once again opened Áras an Uachtaráin to the public on Culture Night, Friday, 20 September, 2019. 

​

The event was also used to also mark the 50th anniversary of Samuel Beckett being awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature, and the 30th anniversary of his death.

​

As part of the event we were given a tour of the House and treated to a performance of Samuel Beckett's radio play "All that Fall", by Theatre Company, Mouth on Fire. 

​

As an interesting point of note, I attended the same Secondary School as President Higgins, St. Flannans College, which we discussed on the night.
