Happy St. Patrick’s Day from The Digital Hub, in the Liberties area of Dublin 8 ☘️
☘️It’s home to St Patrick’s Tower, with the figure of Saint Patrick and his crozier and mitre standing atop the copper cupola.
☘️The tower is a former windmill which is 150-feet in height and almost 200 years old.
☘️Renovation work is underway to convert the ground floor into a new event, exhibition and community space, enabling it to be used for the first time since the 1860s.
☘️The renovation of this landmark and heritage building is being funded and supported by Dublin City Council.

A great photo of the members of the D8 Surfers Club and their wonderful tutor, Sonya, taken on Tuesday.
They prove that being tech-savvy has no age limit, with members varying in age from 72 to 94!
They were interviewed by RTE just before Christmas where they spoke about their positive experience of the club.
See link in bio to watch.
