| Marie Cadden Evan Costigan and Denise Ryan |
Evan Costigan of The Boyne Writers picked up first prize for his poem "Boy at the Bus Stop" at this year's Ledwidge Awards with second prize going to Denise Ryan for her poem "In Debt" and third place to Marie Cadden for "Up to Scratch". Michael Farry was highly commended at the awards and Honor Duff of the Cavan Lit-Lab picked up a commendation for her entry, so local writers were well represented at the event and I even got a mention myself. Liam O' Meara paid a fine tribute to the late Tommy Murray at the beginning and I have to mention Michael O' Flanagan who included a piece in the latest issue of Riposte. It was also an opportunity to renew old acquaintances and Gavan Duffy who was highly commended himself reminded me our paths have crossed in other places. The Presentation was in O'Donoghues, Emmet Road Inchicore and a good crowd ensured a lively evening. More photos to follow!
