This Sunday.
Phibsboro Library, Blacquiere Bridge, North Circular Road, Phibsboro, Dublin 7.

Organised by journalist and local resident Eamon Delaney and hosted by Phibsboro Tidy Towns.
With readings, music, dance and snacks – and a climate change angle.
Long overdue, in fairness.

Copying the Bloomsday at Dolphins Barn going on for many years!
