Happy Bloomsday from Dublin! 📖

Exploring the city through James Joyce's writing is a journey in itself, but have you visited any of its iconic locations?

While the book can feel daunting, Trinity Professor Clíona O’Farrelly has read it an incredible 24 times. Her tip? Take it slow. The “Ulysses in 80 Book Club” breaks it down into just 10–12 pages a day—perfect for dipping in and enjoying the ride.

Today is Poetry Day Ireland, and this year's theme is "Home". We’d love to hear from you — what poem reminds you of home?

We’re reminded of Eavan Boland’s Anna Liffey:

“There, in the hills above my house,
The river Liffey rises, is a source.
It rises in rush and ling heather and
Black peat and bracken and strengthens
To claim the city it narrated.”

A reminder that home can flow through us, shaping who we are and how we remember.

🎉 Celebrating 30 Years of Excellence🎉

Last Tuesday, Trinity School of Nursing and Midwifery celebrated its 30th anniversary! The founding Head of School, former Heads of School, staff, and hospital partners got together to share this wonderful occasion.

Since its establishment in 1996, the School has been committed to shaping better experiences of birth, death, health, illness, and disability for people in Ireland and beyond. We look forward to continuing to uphold and advance this work into the future.

As we celebrate this milestone, we look ahead with pride and purpose, continuing to inspire future leaders in healthcare and making a lasting impact locally and globally.

Here’s to 30 years of dedication, growth, and care and many more to come! 💙
