“Thanks for publishing the news that Kinvara has decided to boycott Israeli goods. I’ve seen lots of comments of support for this decision, and it makes me proud of my home town. If people want to support the traders of Kinvara, then they can come to our traditional boat festival Cruinniú na mBád (The Gathering Of The Boats) from August 8-10.

Panti Bliss: The Queen of Ireland
A crowd funded documentary – directed by Conor Horgan and produced by B!inder Films – on the fabulous life and turbulent times of Miss Panti, Rory O’Neill.

We have set a goal of €50,000 to make this film. This will allow us to continue filming with Rory / Panti over the next few months, as well as allowing us to edit, research, get rights to use archive, music, and everything else we need to make the film. We plan to raise matching funds, so YOUR contributions will help us make this the best film possible. You cannot underestimate the impact YOU can have on the future and the success of The Queen of Ireland.
