The Ringsend & District Historical Society in partnership with Dublin City Council’s South East Area Community Team and with support by the Ringsend & Irishtown Community Centre is proud to present Bloomsday Villages: Ringsend & Irishtown on 11-16th June. Ringsend is where James Joyce and Nora Barnacle had their first date on June 16th, 1904. the date on which Ulysses is set. What better way to celebrate Bloomsday than to spend it where it all began!
Local historian Ken Harrington will present the fascinating history of the Irishtown Garda Station, once known as “Refugium Pectorium” (“Refuge of Sinners”), including intriguing murder cases connected to its past, on Friday, 12th June at 7pm.
The event is free and open to the public. For more information, please email ringsenddistricthistorical@gmail.com.
