    A friend recently became an official Irish citizen and, as I pride myself on being a considerate gift giver, I set about coming up with the perfect token to mark the occasion. This friend bought a home in the past few years and did a beautiful job on renovations, so I wanted to get something for the house. I weighed up several options, from homewares – maybe a Foxford throw or a piece of Brookwood pottery – to contemporary Irish art. Who wouldn’t want a Jen O’Dwyer original or a beautifu

    I don’t know if I’ve ever been to a film event where there’s a standing ovation before the first scenes have even played on the screen. At the Irish premiere screening of The Lost Children of Tuam there were several minutes of applause for the film’s subject, Catherine Corless, the Galway historian who uncovered the deaths of almost 800 children at the Bon Secours Mother and Baby Home in Tuam. She stood before the audience, dwarfed by producer Liam Neeson and director Frank Berry, “ove

    I’ve been thinking about buying one of those smart rings. I’m constantly looking for the one thing that’s going to be THE solution that will sort my life out. Every once in a while, I buy a notebook or download an app and think, ‘This is it, this is the one that’s going to get me on the straight and narrow.’ Lately, the smart rings have been singing the siren call, luring me towards the cliffs of sleep tracking, step counting and life optimisation with the promise of chic aesthetics

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    My mother was in the bank when she first heard about the 9/11 attacks. I was in New York and she was in a branch of Bank of Ireland, going about her daily business. When I finally spoke to her on the phone later that day, I asked her if she’d been worried about me. “Sure, I knew you’d be grand,” she said. I spent the summer of 2001 on the North Shore of Long Island just outside a town called Huntington. I went to New York on a J1 visa with four friends from secondary school, heavily infl
