Spotlight on Skerries.

(Skerries Historical Society's Presentation - December . 2004)

The December meeting, presented by Marie Synnott, was a celebration of the ten years of Spotlight on Skerries arts festival. Marie outlined the history of the event from 1992 to 2002: a very successful ten years due in particular to the initiative and hard work of a dedicated chairperson, the late Anne O'Sullivan, and her committee.
