Michael D has hosted his last Áras tea party, but you can have presidential tea every day if you have a Michael Tea cosy! e decided to stock one last Michael Tea to mark the end of the era. Handknitted in Cloughjordan by Noreen, we think it's the best Michael Tea design we've seen, but we're biased!

A handknitted tea cosy depicting President Michael D Higgins. The knitted president wears wire-rimmed glasses, a white shirt, red tie, and grey jacket with two knitted black buttons. The cosy covers a red teapot -- you can see the handle and spout. It all sits on a mosaic-covered mini podium on a black worktop. There are full bookcases in the background.

Dancing with Strangers: From Palestine to Ireland. A choreographic act of resistance with four dancers from Gaza and Instant Dissidence. A dancer with outstretched arms asks, 'Will you dance with me?' Do you accept their invitation?

A black background. A film still from the film Dancing with Strangers: From Palestine to Ireland. Still by Dylan Kendle. The text below the image says: Saturday 24 May 1.30pm Sheelagh na Gig Bookshop Cloughjordan, Tipperary. A day of dance duets, film, and readings in support of the people of Palestine by Instant Dissidence supported by Sheelagh na Gig Bookshop. Part of Feminist Book Fortnight.

A red background. A drawing of the four dancers in Gaza. The text says: A dancer with outstretched arms wears a t-shirt that says ‘Dance with Me.’ Will you accept their invitation? A dancer with outstretched arms wears a t-shirt that says ‘Dance with Me.’ Will you accept their invitation?
Gaza-based dancers Agour, Just, Khaled and Maryam have been remote-working with Instant Dissidence’s Artistic Director Rita Marcalo to create dance duets that they would like to perform with people in Ireland, as a choreographic act of resistance.
As they cannot be present in Ireland, ‘body avatars’ from the Irish dance community dance for each Palestinian dancer in their original duet. Through them (and the exchanged gift of dance) Agour, Just, Khaled and Maryam are going to ask you to dance: they want their voices to be heard and their bodies to be felt.
Saturday 24 May 1.30pm Sheelagh na Gig Bookshop Cloughjordan Tipperary.
Portraits of the dancers Khaled, Maryam, Agour and Just. Credits: JAL.

A green background. An collage of pictures of dancers involved. Text says: From 1.30pm on Saturday, 24 May, you are invited to dance with one of the Instant Dissidence dancers, who are stand-ins for each Gaza-based dancer. When you participate, the dancers first hand you a set of 4 cards: each card contains brief information on each Gaza-based dancer, and a child’s drawing (to protect their identities) of a portrait photo sent to Instant Dissidence by them. You choose which dancer to dance with from that set of cards, and we hand you a set of headphones with the audio created by your chosen dancer. As you listen, you find yourself dancing with that dancer (through one of us) to the music of their choice, and listening to their personal story.

A black background. Across the top images of three books: The text below the images says: From 3pm to 4pm on Saturday, 24 May, various participants will read extracts from featured books by Palestinian authors: Namesake: Reflections on a Warrior Woman by NS Nuseibeh, The Hollow Half by Sarah Aziza, and Thyme Travellers: An Anthology of Paletinian Speculative Fiction edited by Sonia Sulaiman.

Looking forward to the publication of A Family Matter in May. Read it in one sitting. 1982. Dawn is a young mother when Hazel lights up her world. But she has a daughter. 2022. Heron has news from his doctor. Telling his only child seems impossible, as is telling her other secrets.

A photo of a proof copy of the book A Family Matter. A yellow frame on the cover surrounds a black and white photo of a woman holding a baby in front of a pram in a park. The book is on a bright floral background, white with pinks, yellows and turquoise.
