An American friend who visited us in Dun Laoghaire a number of years ago responded to my letter about the cruise ships and the harbour with the following email:

Hi Alison,

I think your Harbor is beautiful and the markets (fish, meat, etc) were great.  I can understand that tourism is very important to the economy but I feel for you.  I've been on cruise ships and the spots where you walk on shore are littered with stores selling overpriced knick-knacks, jewelry, t-shirts, and other junk that only a tourist would buy.  I hope that does not happen to your harbor!

Reviews

The Visual Time Traveller
This is a labour of love, insanity, beauty and, perhaps, an attempt to reintegrate history, art and science together again.
  Simon Cocking Irish Tech News

​Not only is she forced to share a small city with da Vinci, he has even turned up in the same postal district.  Frank McNally The Irish Times

Crabbing
Her range of language is both staccato and soft, in succinct verse, which encourages you to read this aloud, truly the best way to engage in the emotional depth of a poem.
