The Shared Wisdom Festival was a tremendous success, thanks to our fantastic guest speakers and attendees. A special thanks to the United Arts Club, Gael Linn and ICOS at Plunkett House for their kind hospitality.
We were honoured to be joined by our esteemed guest, Daniel Mulhall, who provided an enlightening lecture on AE’s contribution to Irish life at our our inaugural dinner. Please see Daniel’s article on AE written shortly after the event.
