Rwandan Dancers brought a taste of the exotic to Thorncastle Street in Ringsend recently as part of the Midsummer Music Festival run by Dublin City Council in conjunction with Ringsend and Irishtown Community Centre. Coming up this Friday is ‘An evening at the Opera’, with works by Mozart, Verdi, Puccini and many more on the menu.

Bob Donaldson, veteran member of Poolbeg Yacht Club, below, was honoured with a boat named after him at the Blessing of the Boats a few weeks back. Proud members of the clan are crewing the boat behind him.
