President Michael D. O hUigínn in town, Ballybunion Dining, Writers' Week 2018


Presidential Visit to Kerry Writers' Museum


The purpose of the president's visit to Listowel last weekend was to celebrate Listowel's great win in the Super Valu Tidy Towns' Competition 2018. While he was in the area he fitted in a few other engagements as well. On Friday evening one of Listowel Tidy Town's  hardest working volunteers, Breda McGrath was out giving the place a last sweep up when she spotted Uachtarán na hEireann in his motorcade on his way to The Seanchaí.


There were gardaí everywhere. Here are three who assured me that they have a Listowel connection.


Rambling house musicians waiting to play for the president.

I'll have more photos from the presidential visit after my short break.

Eating in Ballybunion can be a very interesting experience with cuisine from around the world offered in different establishments around town. Here are a few examples.

Writers' Week 2019

Tomorrow May 29 2019 is opening night. Here are a few photos from last year to whet your appetite. Here's to a great week for those who love to write, those who love to read and those who love to photograph the people who write and read.











I'll be busy Writers' weeking for the next while. I'll share all the photos later.
