Because you don’t save, Mr Deasy said, pointing his finger. You don’t know yet what money is. Money is power. When you have lived as long as I have. I know, I know. If youth but knew. But what does Shakespeare say? Put but money in thy purse.

Only 11 tickets remain! Don't miss out tonight at 7pm! @itsthewritestuff.bsky.social www.thewritestuff.ie

We are saddened to hear about the passing of Glen Hansard. Glen was a wonderful musician and supporter of the arts. During the Covid lockdowns, Glen was kind enough to record himself singing "The Brown and Yellow Ale" for the Bloomsday Festival. May he rest in peace. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEOb...
