Thomas Kinsella to be made Freeman of Dublin

in: Art, Poetry

Along with artist Louis le Brocquy, who illustrated his translation of The Táin, poet Thomas Kinsella will be made a Freeman of Dublin today.

Last Sunday, Dublin’s Lord Mayor, Vincent Jackson, unveiled a plaque to the poet at 37 Phoenix Street, in The Ranch, Inchicore, Dublin, where Kinsella spent the first 10 years of his life in the 1930s.
