Two garden parties mark 100 years

NOT every organisation can boast two garden parties in the one week.

However, last week President and Dr McAleese held a garden party at Áras an Uachtaráin to honour the ICA in its centenary year.

Beautiful surroundings, food, drink and entertainment with Julie Feeney, the Crystal Swing Family Band, Schola Cantorum, St Peter’s Cathedral, Belfast, ICA Tallaght Choir, ICA Ballybrack Choir, Ballymartle guild and Lusk guild set dancers and Johnny McEvoy.
