Events at Killoskehane Castle
I am delighted to invite you and the history lovers in your group to The Long Becoming, a series of free events that offers an unusual start to the Christmas season.
Throughout eight rooms on two floors of Killoskehane Castle, near Borrisoleigh, visitors will find artworks that tell the stories of Irish people now in their 70s, 80s, 90s, and 100s.
Some stayed where they were reared; others left and returned, or made their lives abroad. Their life-story portraits bring together the history of the times they were born into, their favourite memories, and what gave them the resilience to live through the changes they faced.
For those interested in history, these portraits offer a personal perspective on how places and events live on in people’s memories—and continue to shape their lives.
All events are free and open to the public. Advance registration through Eventbrite is recommended to help the castle welcome visitors smoothly.

All Ireland lung cancer patient symposium 2026
This year the Irish Lung Cancer Community is organising a FREE event called “All Ireland Lung Cancer Patient Symposium” in Portlaoise on Saturday the 14th Nov from 11am until 5pm. There will be a great lineup of speakers on multiple interesting topics and also a number of information services present, finally and very importantly we will build in time for networking as it is often very difficult for lung cancer patients to meet each other and get some peer support.
Thought for the Week
We must restore hope to young people, help the old, be open to the future, spread love. Be poor among the poor. We need to include the excluded and preach peace.
