The Goddess Of the River Shannon  - Sionnan

You are cordially invited to the launch of The Goddess of the River Shannon – Sionnan project.

This wonderful project captured the imagination of children from West Cavan — Dowra and Glangevlin — who explored the story of Sionnan through storytelling, art, and music. Their creativity helped bring Sionnan to life, culminating in the creation of a beautiful dress designed by Couture Dress Designer Margaret Coyne.

The launch event will include:

  • Unveiling of the Sionnan Dress
  • Recitation of the Sionnan Poem, composed by local children
  • Art Exhibition featuring the children’s creative work
  • Musical Performance, including an original composition inspired by Sionnan by local singer-songwriter Andrew Lynch
  • Creative Station where children can express their own interpretation of Sionnan
  • Screening of two short films showcasing Ireland’s Aileen Mac Keogh 20th FÍS Film of the Year Award winners from St. Hugh’s N.S.

Please note that the details of events listed above are provided by the relevant Local Authorities.
