Guild meets the President
On July 6, eight members of the guild, which is just over the border from Co Cork, were invited to Áras an Uachtaráin to attend a garden party hosted by President Mary McAleese and her husband, Dr Martin McAleese.
They set off from Ardmore at 6.00am to catch the 7.30am train to Dublin. At the train station they encountered ICA members from other guilds, all of them bound for the same venue.
