Lewis Glucksman Gallery. Dublin City Library. Update: 24th January 2014 City launches details of Parnell Square Cultural Quarter - a new Cultural District for Dublin City In early April 2013, Dublin’s Lord Mayor Naoise Ó Muirí announced a vision of a new cultural quarter for Dublin city – Parnell Square. A new City Library will be built beside the existing world-class Dublin City Gallery The Hugh Lane and will offer a range of creative, participative and educational experiences, united by a trinity of themes, Learn, Create and Participate. A civic plaza will connect the new City Library and cultural facilities, creating a new public space that those who live, work and visit Dublin can use, engage with and enjoy in the heart of the city.

Dublin City Council has launched a new website at parnellsquare.ie to promote the City Library and new cultural facilities at Parnell Square Cultural Quarter.

Mark Ravenhill's Edinburgh festival speech: 'We need to have a plan B' Yesterday I woke up, checked my Facebook feed first off as I always do and read this status update from a young playwright: Dreamed I was arriving at a dinner with a family where the husband had arranged to have the wife killed. She knew it and had chosen to accept it. I was the only other person at the table who knew. But if I let on, I'd die too. Plus, the man had an empire of van rentals and I'd been told I could have one for the Edinburgh Festival really cheap. Welcome to the Edinburgh fringe festival. And so I'm sure the young writer is not alone in dreaming about the dilemma of a choice between murder or a van.

Because that's the curious paradox about being an artist, particularly one who decides to do something as reckless and rewarding as bringing a show to the fringe festival. And how do you get to be there? It's a schizophrenic existence. But let's look on this as a good thing. Well, now you put it like that darling, yes I suppose they rather were. Well yes I rather did.
