Molly, My Irish MoLi, and more

The Mansion house in all its splendour,

Day trip with mum to an antiques fair,

Escape from our tin roof holiday rental,

Just me and her, a love of old shared.

Head to Merrion Square and you will find museums and art galleries there,

On summer weekends local artists display their work in the open air.

Growing up on the island

Of Ireland

And amongst the Irish diaspora too
