The last days of 2022 saw me make my first visit to Dublin since 2013 and to Kilkenny since, I think, 1995! A trip to interview the delightful (and Most Rev’d) John Neill for my doctorate. I did a day trip from Belfast to Kilkenny by train, which I don’t particularly recommend giving the timings, but it did give me a bit of time in both cities with my camera, given the long waits in Dublin for train connections.
One of the few days with decent light in a gloomy late December in Ireland as well.
