A copy of our old publication, Liberties News, was unearthed from our archives today. Vol. 2, No. 1 from Feb 1994—features articles on the opening of the Medieval and Old Dublin Heritage Project, a visit from President Mary Robinson to Liberties Vocational School, and a children’s section.

Our community groups are a close-knit bunch, and they've come together once again for a beautiful cause - knitting for a local hospice. Every stitch sewn together with care, comfort, and community in mind.

This is Anthony Freeman, a beekeeper in Dublin 8

Single handedly, he has created this beautiful, serene urban sanctuary in what was a derelict sight

Pure joy chatting with him at #TheLibertiesFestival
