Irish In Sweden - Live From The Arrivals Exhibition
Last Thursday saw an incredible array of Irish talent in Sweden exhibiting their art at the Ambassador's residence as part of the "Arrivals" exhibition organised by Carrie Cooke and Sarah Galligan.

The Global Gael - Tomás Takes The Long Road On His Bike
When Irishman Tomás Mac an tSaoir goes out for a spin on his bike, he's often away a little longer than the average lycra warrior - the Kerryman is currently in the middle of a marathon journey form New Zealand to Ireland by bike, across some of the most beautiful and rugged terrain in the world - and this is after traversing America and Africa on similar journeys.
Currently back home recharging his batteries for a final push from Dubai, Tomás joined me to tell his fascinating story of lions, tents, street food, the hospitality of strangers and a whole lot more besides on his journey halfway around the world.
