<h3>&nbsp;Sirius EXHIBITION: MARIE BRETT</h3>
Launch Event 9 April, 2-4pm Free, no booking required
SIRIUS is launching the exhibition with a tour and panel discussion with Marie Brett, Miguel Amado, the director of SIRIUS, and the critic Joanne Laws. This event facilitates a critical review of Brett’s practice, repositioning and furthering her idiosyncratic voice and style within the Irish art scene.
The Irish, Cork County-based artist Marie Brett’s exhibition The Hidden Mountain, the Fort and the Five Trees features works that consider social, psychological, allegorical, and mystical methods of processing trauma, conflict, and control. The exhibition is Brett’s first survey show, and the most comprehensive presentation of her work to date. It is produced by SIRIUS and curated by Miguel Amado, director of SIRIUS.
Marie Brett comments: “My work has long been about loss forms of suffering that society shuns, fears, ignores, or ‘tidies-up’: perinatal death, infant mortality, state-run residential care, degenerative brain disease, and human trafficking. Such questions impact upon the psyche in both known and unknown ways, shaping who we are and what we have, or will become. Simultaneously, in contemporary Ireland, our rite and lore practices are shifting substantially. Is this the wake of our times, making way for substantive ‘healing’ and imagined, regenerated freedoms?”

<h3>Fota Wildlife Park</h3>

Fota Wildlife Park is heartbroken to announce the death of the Asiatic lion, Shanto, after a short, untreatable illness.
Despite every attempt by the veterinary team, his condition deteriorated, and the very difficult decision was made to put him to sleep on 23rd February. The diagnosis of kidney failure was confirmed at postmortem.
Julien Fonteneau, Lead Ranger said, “It’s hard to describe how stunned and shocked the team are here at Fota over the loss of our beloved Shanto. It’s been devasting to witness such a powerful and dignified animal succumb to illness in a short space of time. He was hugely popular with the visitors and undoubtedly was a highlight of their visit. Shanto was very interactive and curious, and Fota Wildlife Park has been such a quiet place since he became ill. We all hugely miss his majestic roars every day, and it’s such a quieter place without him.”

<h3>St Mary's Gaelic Football </h3>
A note from Fr Liam, Xplore Local Cobh App, downloaded free on Apple or Google. download and share with friends.
For nearly 3 years because of Covid primary schools have not had the opportunity to take part in Sciath na Scoil primary school competitions. The good news is competitions are back again and instead of the usual Autumn time frame the competitions will be held after Easter. Having being involved in Ladies football a every level for nearly 25 years including training 20 Cork teams to win All-Ireland underage titles, I was delighted to hear the news. My Involvement was curtailed by Covid and when Ms Lane acting Principal of St Mary's asked me would I help out the teachers to traini the girls I was delighted to get back.
<h3>Huge turnout.</h3>

You can only imagine my delight when we had our first training session this Wednesday evening after school 52 girls from 5th and 6th classes turned up, quite an amazing response. I had just returned from playing 16 holes of golf and it was like normal times again. We must still be carful with the growing numbers of Covid cases, but the beautiful Spring day and being out in the fresh air has to be good for mind and spirit. The girls responded well to the trining and all 52 were fully involved and left with smiles o their faces and that's the most important aspect of the exercise.
