We Are Beirt | Aoife B. Burke & Miriam Burke
Post By CM The Galway casual dining scene has recently been dominated by the West Side of the city, but I have a feeling that An Púcan, just off Eyre Square on Forster Street is set to give the more established venues in The Latin Quarter and beyond a run for their money. I was […]
MorePost by TM Last Thursday I received a group email at work suggesting that we all wear something pink the next day to support Breast Cancer Awareness. That night, as I prepared my outfit for the day ahead like I usually do, I discovered that the only pink item of clothing in my wardrobe was a […]
MorePost by TM Regular readers may remember that this time last year CM popped on her clogs (why is it that rural dwelling mice always seem to favour clogs? ) and joined Mary, our step-mama, and me in the Fire Restaurant, Dublin for the fifth annual Mothers and Daughters’ Lunch hosted by the Immigrant Council of […]
