Episode 21 is the third in a series celebrating the 1500th anniversary of St. Brigid. Firstly we have Mollie (from ‘IrishWithMollie’) teaching us how to say Happy Saint Brigid’s Day in Gaelic followed by a conversation with photographer Deirdre Brennan. Deirdre has photographed 60 women named Brigid around the island of Ireland and these images will be projected at Barnardo Square in Dublin from 1st to 5th February 2024.
