I'm thrilled to share this, the first of three stories collected in "A Brilliant Void" to be dramatised by the Skerries Theatre Group! "The Diamond Lens" by Fitz-James O'Brien tells of a mad microscopist who's prepared to kill in his pursuit of knowledge, but ends up paying a surreal personal cost:

This summer has made it abundantly clear that we need rewetting across all landscapes, varied habitats, firebreaks and a recalibration of what we use water for, and in ireland, a massive growth and restoration of our degraded ecosystems like bog and wet woodlands that are naturally fire resistant

The Steps by Juliano Zaffino is 'a debut of rare confidence, moving from domestic realism into formally inventive terrain without losing its emotional core.' It was, as always, incredibly rewarding to go back and forth with Juliano as each draft gradually became this novel.

Photograph of the Irish Times and magazine, opened on the review pages and showing a rave review for The Steps by Juliano Zaffino, along with a photograph of Juliano in a blue jacket, with his head titled slightly to the side.

Extract from the Irish Times review of The Steps by Juliano Zaffino that reads: 'The Steps is a debut of rare confidence, moving from domestic realism into formally inventive terrain without losing its emotional core. Zaffino emerges here as a writer of considerable intelligence, capable of reshaping the novel's possibilities while remaining anchored in the lived experience of memory and survival.'

Data centres uses 32% of Ireland's total electricity supply but pay almost less than half of the residential rate. So we're effectively subsidizing tech giants during a cost of living & energy crisis. Meanwhile this Govt continues to cheerlead their expansion & continue to fail in their obligations.

_"The Government’s consistent cheerleading for data centre expansion has reached a point of reckless disconnect from the economic reality of Irish citizens... Irish families are paying nearly double the electricity rates of these industrial facilities, effectively subsidizing the massive energy consumption of global tech giants while struggling with a punishing cost-of-living crisis."

This year's Phizzfest includes Love, Lies & Modern Lives – May 09, with authors Maggie Armstrong and Sophie White. 15.00 All Saints Church Tickets are €15 and booking is essential: phizzfest.ie/event/love-l...

Photo of authors Sophie White and Maggie Armstrong with brochure text from the festival:

In Conversation
Literature
Love, Lies & Modern Lives

Authors Maggie Armstrong and Sophie White
15.00 All Saints Church

Two of Ireland’s most exciting contemporary writers – Sophie White and Maggie Armstrong – come together for a rich discussion about shaping narrative, writing modern relationships and capturing the tensions of everyday life. Drawing on Armstrong’s sharply observed linked stories in Old Romantics alongside White’s compelling exploration of relationships in Such a Good Couple, the pair will delve into craft, character and the messy brilliance of human connection.
An engaging, thoughtful exchange with time for audience questions.

Poster for Phizzfest 2026 made up of geometric designs, retro modernist and really cool. Text reads Phibsborough Community & Arts Festival. 7-10 Mayo.
