Inchicore Library

We still have spots for our Cruinniú na nÓg event this weekend for children aged 9–12.

Inspired by the classic fable The Lion and the Mouse, the workshop invites children to explore courage, kindness and resilience through discussion and mindful movement. Participants will learn a series of warrior-inspired yoga poses before using lollipop sticks to recreate and build the poses in a playful, hands-on activity. Children will then respond creatively by drawing the poses and story-inspired imagery onto a collaborative scroll artwork.

We are delighted that the Kilmainham Inchicore Heritage Group and Inchicore For All are hosting a talk here in Richmond Barracks as part of Culture Date with Dublin 8!

This talk will be a 'beginners' guide' to the history of Inchicore-Kilmainham and will be of interest to adults and young people new to the area who would like an introduction to its heritage.

Local Historian Francis Thackaberry will look at seven surviving structures that we see around us (a gateway, a bridge, a canal, a jail, a chapel, a military barracks and an engineering complex) to build a picture of our area’s rich history. He will also look at how newcomers to the area over the centuries have contributed to its prosperity and to its national significance.

Date:​​ Saturday 9 May at 2.30pm
Admission: ​Free, but booking essential by email to:
