A Visit to
Áras an Uachtaráin was the final outing of RTA Bridge Club under their
President Mary Howley. Due to the superb organizational skills of Mary the
group on a two day visit to Dublin visited the J.F.K exhibition of photos taken
during the President’s historic visit to Ireland in 1963. We took a walking
tour of the sites involved in the 1916 Easter Rising, visited The Gate Theatre
to experience the splendid production of Arthur Millar’s “Enemy of the People’,
and viewed the recent exhibition of William Evans (1798-1877) water colours
entitled ‘From Galway to Leenane Perceptions of Landscape”in the National
Gallery.
The final
treat was a visit to Áras an Uachtaráin where we were introduced to Uachtarán
Micheál Ó h’Uigínn agus a bhean Sabina. We were wined and dined and entertained
by Dordán and other entertainers.

This final
celebration was packed into two days – you need stamina and good feet to keep
up with our Mary. There is no end to her boundless energy and enthusiasm. Go
maire sí go brách.
