Got a lovely mention on RTE Radio 1 Arena this evening, Sorcha Kenny and Abie Philbin Bowman were asked for their Top Pick Inspiration Cultural Gift Idea for 2016.

Local artist, a guy called Conor Gallagher (based in a cafe (The Chocolate Factory) near where I live in the upper floors, and he does lovely seascapes and landscapes.
