Still with the Irish in America I can't say I was aware of the very strong local connections between Dot Tubridy and the Kennedy family but I dropped in to the Heritage Centre in Trim today to have a look at some of the items on display. Had no idea she played such a central role in the connections between the two countries and indeed the peace process in the North. Some of those bowls of shamrock made their way from very close to here to the White House. The equestrian world figured largely there too and some of the political events that unfolded over the years owed much to her endeavours. If you've got a few minutes to spare and find yourself in the south Meath area or just happen to be passing: worth a visit.Monday, May 20, 2019
