The exhibition
Dublin City Council's LAB Gallery has just opened its latest exhibition, 'What does it mean to know?'
Magdalene laundries may be closed now, but their legacy lingers and this new work asks whether we, as Irish people, have reckoned with this painful past.
Irish artists Ethna Rose O'Regan and Sinéad McCann, have worked in collaboration with writer and sociologist Louise Brangan to produce two new artworks: No babies were born there, a large-scale sculptural text work, and I'm still there, a light and sound installation.
O'Regan's photographic series, 'After Magdalene' (2006-2009), was made in the last of the Magdalene laundries on Seán McDermott St, which officially closed in 1996 and is, poignantly, mere minutes from The Lab Gallery.
During this exhibition, the artists involved and the Dublin City Council staff at the Lab will be sensitive to and supportive of any patron who may find the exhibit or experience distressing in any way.
From June 12 to July 26, The LAB Gallery, Foley St, Dublin 1, Monday to Saturday 10-6pm.
Lough Key Forest Park, the home of Night and Day festival.

From June 27 to 29, the festival forms part of Roscommon's outdoor recreation campaign, Breathe in Roscommon, which celebrates the county's natural beauty and endless opportunities for outdoor adventure in Ireland's Hidden Heartlands.
This year, there's a new wellness area alongside a musical bill that includes José González, KT Tunstall, Paul Brady, The Wailers, The Stunning, Lisa Hannigan, Sultans of Ping, Adwaith, and Fionn Regan among others.

Cork Airport road named in honour of Rory Gallagher
The main entrance road to Cork Airport has been named in honour of legendary Irish guitarist Rory Gallagher. Taoiseach Micheál Martin unveiled 'Rory Gallagher Avenue' to coincide with the 30th anniversary of the Cork musician's death in 1995. The airport is part of a Cork City Council's new 'Stompin' Ground trail that highlights places that were associated with Mr Gallagher's life and career. While born in Co Donegal in 1948, the blues and rock guitarist grew up in Cork city - where his legacy continues to resonate. This is the first time the city has celebrated his international career on such a large scale with events being held across the weekend. Mr Martin paid tribute to the "genuine rock star who inspired people right around the world with his music". "His legacy is one which reverberates across Cork, and it is only fitting that he is honoured in the city where he spent much of his life," he said. "I want to pay tribute to the Gallagher family and all those at Cork Airport and Cork City Council in bringing about this wonderful initiative in Rory's memory." Mr Gallagher's brother Dónal said that the star had traversed the roadway "throughout his lifetime to engage with his international career". He added that the Gallagher family was deeply honoured by the "heartfelt gesture". Belgain guitarist Jacques Stotzem played a rendition of some of Mr Gallagher's greatest hits at the event. Meanwhile, Lord Mayor of Cork Dan Boyle said that Mr Gallagher will be "forever remembered at the airport that brought him all over the world, showcasing his unique talent and equally so, the airport that welcomed him home".

Inside Irish woman's incredible Wild Atlantic Way challenge
A young Irish woman has spoken about her challenge to travel the entire Wild Atlantic Way — on her skateboard. Becky Gilmour, who was born in Limerick but grew up in Co Down, said that she planned to skate the 2,500km route along the western edge of Ireland in aid of Samaritans, following the suicide of a friend of hers a number of years ago. Speaking to about her mammoth journey, Becky explained that she always enjoyed skateboarding, and after toying with the idea to skate the length of Ireland from north to south, the Wild Atlantic Way was a bigger challenge for her (and, of course, due to the phenomenal scenery!). @beckyadventures Hey! I'm Becky & I'm skateboarding the longest coastal route in the world for Samaritans- follow along if you're keen 🙂 #skateboard #skateboarding #wildatlanticway #solotravel #camping ♬ Home – Matthew Hall 'I lost a friend to suicide four years ago, during COVID, and I couldn't even go to the funeral,' Becky said. 'It's just such a hard thing to process, suicide loss, and I really wanted to do something for myself. 'We lived on the north coast, and we used to skateboard there quite a lot together, I bought my first board with him. For myself, I wanted to reconnect with Ireland and come back to the south, because I'm from here and I haven't been here in so long, and it just seemed to be the next big challenge for me. 'So as time passed I just made the plan [to skate the route]. And as I came closer to going, I was like 'oh wouldn't it be cool to open it up and share it with other people?' And if it kind of helps other people along the way, that would be really sick.' Becky Gilmour, 25, said that she's skateboarding the entire Wild Atlantic Way to raise money for mental health charity, Samaritans. Pic: Becky's Arthouse Kicking off her journey in Kinsale, Becky told that after nearly two weeks she was hoping to reach Mizen Head by the time our interview is done. But, of course, skateboarding is tough with a lot of moving parts, wit smoother terrain often preferred. So naturally, things started going wrong on day one thanks to rural Irish roads. 'I had to teach myself to ride switch [with both feet being able to lead] with a heavy pack on my back to make sure I had my bag,' Becky said. 'I wanted to be as light as possible, so only brought camping supplies and a few bearings for my board; but on my first day the roads were so rattly, all the bolts loosened — I lost two of them and came straight off the board! '[As well] my wheels wouldn't turn until I got them moving so my bearings are already shot — So I'm going to have to into Schull today and see if I can get some WD40!' Beginning her journey earlier this month, Becky plans to travel the entire Wild Atlantic Way on her skateboard. Pic:Beginning her days at 4.30am and skating for most of the morning as to avoid traffic (yes, really), Becky has already covered impressive ground — managing over 200km in less than two weeks. However, she admits that she has some ground to cover; particularly after a physio told her that her knee may make the journey a bit longer. 'A few days before [beginning the journey] my knees were swelling up, and I was told I had a genetic problem, with [the physio] saying that I might be limited to 70km a week. If that was the case, it would take nine months. 'At the moment, I've been doing around 100km a week. So if I stay at the 100k a week, it'd take me 27 weeks — about five and a half months. But we'll see — I've been getting more and more used to it, so hopefully I'll get faster and stronger.' Despite the physical and mental toll of such a mammoth journey, Becky says that she isn't fazed — and after suffering from her own mental health issues, being able to raise money for mental health charities is the cherry on top; with her adding that there may be more adventures to come in the future. 'I've been diagnosed in the past with depression, PTSD… I spent a year of my life struggling to leave the house. And now there's days where I don't come home at all,' she joked. 'It's just so cool to say 'there's more around the corner.' And it's worth holding out for, to keep going, and there's more to life and things do get better,' Becky said. 'It's been cool that I can talk about that now. It would be so cool to keep doing what I'm doing, going on more adventures, because I love it. But also being able to share that message and raise money for charity, I love that idea. 'I've no idea what I'll do next, or if it'll be on a skateboard because I love doing loads of different things, but we'll see [what the future holds].' Becky's journey can be followed on TikTok, @BeckysAdventures. Anyone who may have been affected by the contents of this story can contact Samaritans on 116 123.
