Kate Middleton arrives at an art exhibition in Dublin's trendy new Hanover Quay district. Ms Middleton - not yet the new Princess Di but on the fast track to global fame according to those in the know - was in town (Dublin)
She was on her first visit to Ireland to support her Berkshire neighbour, artist Gemma Billington, who opened her first solo exhibition at the new Urban Retreat Gallery. The Kerry-born artist is showing pieces she painted during two stays at the Cill Rialaigh Project in Ballinskelligs.
While the paintings on display were captivating, it was Kate Middleton who commanded the attention of all the photographers including myself
Tall and thin, the woman who might be the next queen of England was dressed in a demure, fitted navy suit with shower of hail pattern. She wore very little jewellery, save for a diamond-studded ring.

After The Nualas split, the Funny Girls was formed . The Funny Girls features Anne Gildea, 'a tall leggy brunette who is a quick witted and uninhibited clown'. Pom Boyd, and Susan Collins as Carmel. The very best of Irish Lady Comedy! These girls will pick you up by the funny bone and leave you gagging for more.

Joe Rooney Irish comedian and actor

Tue, 25 Oct 2005 21:59:39 +0000

I photographed Joe Rooney last week for the front cover of his new DVD, due out before christmas. He is one of Irelands top improvisers. Some know Joe Rooney best as Father Damo, the rebel priest who led Father Dougal astray in 'Father Ted'.
However it has been several years since Joe played that role and he has travelled far and wide since then. The Dublin comedian is rightly proud of Father Damo’s lasting success. Although scripted, Joe brought a lot of character to the role, proving his knack for comic timing in front of a television audience of millions.
Joe is currently starring as Timmy Higgins in the hit show Killinaskully, as well and touring around Ireland, with his own stand up show.
