I agree with the Deputy. At the Hawk's Well Theatre this Friday, Rafeef Ziadah and Sorcha Fox will perform "Sendiana", which is about exile and terror. I expect it to be really powerful. Sligo Global Kitchen at the Model will bring communities together to enjoy a global food experience. The Yeats Society in Sligo will host "Sisters, Sisters, Sisters" by storyteller Imelda Ryan Jones. People will be able to tour the Sligo Masonic Hall and learn about the Masonic order.

I also mention the small-scale local festivals and funding schemes for summer schools.

In 2019 the Sligo Feis Cheoil received €2,000, the Yeats International Summer School received €5,000 and the Enniscrone and District Community received €1,500 for the Black Pig Festival in 2018.

I will continue to support Sligo in any way I can. I hope that all the Members present enjoy Culture Night.
