Such brilliant news! We are over the moon for Donnah and her family. Time to end Direct Provision and let all people seeking safety live in freedom and dignity

Aren't we all just thrilled that one of our founders got her residency papers after years in the abhorrent system of Direct Provision and campaigning for change? Blessings to you and family @donnahsvuma!!! #EndDirectProvision

My letter to Irish Arts Minister @cathmartingreen on the cultural significance of 15 Usher's Island, the setting for James Joyce's iconic story 'The Dead'. It's to be turned into a tourist hostel by private developers. Sites like this must be protected. #DeadDublin #Bloomsday

Remembering our wonderful friend and colleague Fiona Hurley who passed away this weekend. The warmest, loveliest person, an amazing stage manager who lived and breathed theatre. Very lucky to have worked with her, learned from her and to have been her pals. We’ll miss her so much

Important PUPupdate. As you prob know the PUP scheme is closed to New Applicants on 17Sept i.e next week. I asked @welfare_ie about people who were on the PUP on/ before 17Sept - & who come off for sporadic work - say a festival/show, & who try to get back on it 1/4 #PUPdate

'If the State wishes to vindicate the fundamental human rights of asylum seekers, it should end the institutionalisation of vulnerable people as it denies them personal autonomy,' writes Bulelani Mfaco, about direct provision. irishtimes.com/life-and-style…


Women in theatre endure a system of abuse, harassment and diminishment. This is doubled for BIPOC women, Trans women and women with disabilities. A seat at the top for some isn’t what’s needed. Dismantle and rebuild. None of us advance if all of us dont. #reawakenthefeminists

The gall to even tweet this nonsense when you've made money from US prisons and Ireland's abhorrent system of Direct Provision. BOYCOTT AVOCA AND CHOPPED! #EndDirectProvision #BlackLivesMatter

As we heard from our CEO this week…it will take all of us to make a difference. Racism has no place, injustice has no place, silence has no place! #blackouttuesday

Happy #WorldTheatreDay. Last year we were starting our tour of #TheHarvest. This year we celebrate far from any stage. Art is never more crucial than in times of crisis, art gives hope, escape & purpose. And art will persevere. Stay strong, stay safe, this too shall pass.
