A View from the Hall.
A tribute to the area formerly known as Kingstown.
Patrick Murphy writes:
About a month ago I left London due to really unfortunate circumstances that were well out of my control. Without getting into too much detail I had to pack up and go home. I wasn’t sure how I felt about the whole thing until the day I came back. I walked around my hometown of Dún Laoghaire [Co Dublin] for a day. I
talked to my friends and family about London and was reminded of how much I loved Dún Laoghaire and the people in it. It made me feel so much better about coming home and gave me a new purpose and drive I haven’t felt in a long while.
‘A view from the Hall’ is a love letter to the place and people who have made me who I am. Ó Chuan go Sliabh.
FIGHT!
Nice work.
Suggestions: 9am missing an apostrophe and 10am a fada for Dún ?
Over share much ?
Nothing to say about the actual art itself, of course. God forbid someone should give some background to a project they worked on, especially when it was originally posted on Facebook. And saying all that, ‘without going into too much detail’ seems to be the opposite of over sharing.
You’re what’s wrong with this country Ste.
Poolbeg Station is not within the Administrative Area of Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown.
Known as Kingstown for 99 years (1821 to 1920) in honour of which the 99 from Teddy’s is the national dish of Dun Laoghaire.
The 99 name originated with Italian ice cream sellers in Britain.
Can you tell us more about that, Tish?
