Full itinerary available here: Spain itinerary 2019. Booking closed in November 2018.

RSA Lecture Series
In the second half of 2018, two very successful lectures were delivered in the RSA Lecture Series.
Campus Visits
In the second half of 2018, a visit was arranged to the O'Donoghue Centre for Drama, Theatre and Performance. Warmest thanks are due to Dr Marianne Ní Chinnéide for arranging this, and to Dr Ian Walsh for a very stimulating tour of the theatre, backstage spaces and other facilities. Viewing these made our group much more aware of the attractive programme of events that take place there.
