This year I am spending St. Patrick’s Day over in Macau and Hong Kong as I am taking part in The Script Road – Macau Literary Festival and also the Hong Kong Macau Irish Festival.

There are lots of writer events along with a St Patrick’s Day parade and a dinner in Macau.

I will also be taking part in Mise Eire – a concert marking the 100th Anniversary of the 1916 Rising – that is being held in Hong Kong.

It’s going to be busy, but I will be back home to Dublin in time for our own very special 1916 Easter Rising Commemorations.
