Alice McDermott’s tribute to Dan Barry on eve of @IrishAmWA award: “A writer who approaches (readers) with a poet's eye for detail and a journalist's head for facts, but also with something that it seems has never been tried before: humility." @nytopinion @GIHNYU @IrelandinNY

We are heartbroken to hear of the loss of the incredible Irish actor Michael Gambon. Michael began his career in @GateTheatreDub, going on to become one of the most inspiring and legendary actors of our time. Both his talent and that twinkle in his eye will be missed.
