1/5. The #ArchbishopsWishes took priority in the new Irish State in 1924. Glenamaddy was no longer suitable as a Children’s Home; Portumna, Galway & Tuam
were alternatives; the Archbishop was-“anxious the Bon Secours Sisters should go” to Tuam site which Council agreed to.
So, this Portumna abbey and many others, helped inspire #TheGraces and I visited again today. And look what AMAZING people I found there! From USA and they dress like this all the time (inner me is dressed like that also) So of course I had to get in and spoil the shot!
Portumna Castle is delighted to announce that Dr. Bernadette Cunningham will present her talk 'Countesses of Clanricard and their daughters in 17th century Portumna' on Sept 10 at 3pm in Portumna Castle Gallery.
