This is the kind of @dublincityuni.bsky.social PhD graduation photograph you get when your topic is about three centuries of the impact and significance of the puppet theatre in Ireland! Thanks to Brid Horan and @dairekeogh.bsky.social for humouring me and to Kyran O'Brien for capturing the moment.
