What a unique pleasure and honour for me this evening, to receive the award for Arts and Culture from my alma mater Maynooth University!
And, the only alumna in the esteemed company of poet Michael Longley and director Lenny Abrahamson, to top it off! Thank you to Prof Philip Nolan and all at Maynooth University for a beautiful summer soirée, and for the generous recognition of my work.
Choosing Maynooth was such a positive pivotal decision for me, such a wonderful place to study.
