Kilkee Civic Trust Presents
Rosita Boland – Breaking a Silence.
Date: Wednesday, 6th July 2022 at 8pm No. 1 of 9 Talks
Speaker: Rosita Boland
Talk Title: Breaking a Silence
Talk Description:
Ann Lovett, aged just 15 Years, died on a school-day, on a Tuesday, 31st January 1984, after giving birth to a boy at the Grotto in Granard, Co Longford – a tragedy that continues to resonate across the decades.
Then, she will explore and expand on the public reaction after the interview was published.
It is undeniable that hearing Ricky McDonnell ‘s voice – through Rosita Boland’s 2018 article – changed an Irish narrative that had stayed static for 34 years.
Rosita Boland is Senior Features Writer with The Irish Times, where she specialises in human-interest stories. Rosita has won several awards for her Journalism, including “Journalist of the Year in 2018”. She is also the Author of two essay collections, Elsewhere (Doubleday), and Comrades (Penguin). Originally from Ennis, Co. Clare, she now lives in Dublin.
