====================
The Spirit of Mother Jones Festival 
Does one need to book tickets for the film and for the talk by Prof Gorn. I would like to go to both of these
Hi Catherine – no, there’s no need to book for the film and the various discussions although you would be advised to come early as space may be limited. The only events that needs to be booked are the Andy Irvine concert in Shandon on Wednesday night and the bus tour on on Thursday for those who are interested in going. Tickets for the Andy Irvine concert are going fast. They are currently available at reception in the Maldron Hotel, John Redmond Street and at St. Anne’s Shandon or by phoning Ger on (086) 3196063. From next weekend a limited number will go on sale via http://www.tickets.ie
