Meath Ladies Win in Gaultier and SSA Colours
Meath were forced to borrow a set of jerseys from Gaultier LGFA for their Lidl National Ladies League clash with Waterford in Dungarvan. The 2021 and ’22 All-Ireland champions travelled to Fraher Field with their alternative white jerseys in the expectation that Waterford would be decked out in blue. But when it emerged that the home side would be wearing white, Gaultier came to the rescue by providing a set of jerseys to Meath, who looked very much at home in their green and gold strip.

Grand Designs Inspired Home in Dublin 14
Excerpt from the article:
Brentwood is among the oldest homes in Dundrum, thought to have originated in the 1820s.
The McCloud fans who own it transformed a tired Victorian at Sydenham Road in Dundrum into a fantasy extravaganza complete with tower-housed cinema, a triple-height kitchen, saunas and jacuzzis as well as a tower top party room which overlooks much of Dublin.
They called in architect Shane Santry and got to work, spending the proceeds of the sale on a 'sky is the limit' project that took three years from start to finish.
Today the house spans 6,480sq ft which likely makes it one of Dundrum's largest.

GAA National Games Development Centre -Official Opening
The GAA has officially opened its new National Games Development Centre at Abbotstown on the site of the National Sports Campus. GAA president Aogán Ó Fearghail and director general Páraic Duffy were joined by a number of officials and guests to mark the occasion.
The recently completed project designed by SSA Architects includes a total of five playing pitches - four of them full size and all of them floodlit - a 3G pitch, a hurling wall and a state of the art pavilion which houses 10 dressing rooms, a reception area, gymnasium, physiotherapy facilities, referees rooms, meeting rooms and dining facilities.
We enveloped the building in an indigenous Irish stone that anchors the building firmly in the ground so the pavilion, like the GAA, is rooted in the Irish landscape. Like the stone, the material palette for the building is nationalistic in choice and the skilled craftsmen who built this national centre have been sourced from far flung parishes of our island including Armagh, Cavan, Clare, Cork, Down, Dublin, Galway, Offaly, Tipperary, and Waterford.

Magnetism Art Exhibition - Hazelwood, Sligo
SSA were involved in the production and installation of an art exhibition in Hazelwood House, Sligo. The exhibition showcasing Lucy Andrews, Mikala Dwyer, Igor Grubich, Siobhan Hapaska, Aleksandra Mir, Laura Morrison, Garrett Phelan, and was curated by Varri Claffey.
Magnetism takes its name from the tape that was made in the Hazelwood factory and disseminated around the world. Magnetism also refers to the slow draw of objects and even landscape elements towards each other or the centre of the Earth, altering states along the way like the pull of river water towards a lake and peculiar allure of a dynamic individual.
The works in the show, some of which were almost outlandish in scale, addressed the process of forming and reforming in various ways by removing function in order to repurpose or un-purpose objects and materials abandoned on site; documenting and describing the process of decay and re-absorption and proposing shaky but ambitious plans for the future of objects.
This factory is currently undergoing a planning application for its use as a whiskey distillery.

Fire Station Artist Studios - Official Opening
President Michael D Higgins opens new residential studios on Lwr. Buckingham Street, Dublin 1, designed by SSA Architects.
Increasing the number of residential studios for artists has been a long-term goal of Fire Station. Speaking about the expansion, Fire Station director Clodagh Kenny said: “We are delighted to be opening two additional residential studios in the building next door to Fire Station. Supporting the lives and careers of artists is what we do, so increasing this capacity is of great value for Irish visual artists and it marks a major achievement for Fire Station. For the past 21 years the demand for residential studios has increased year on year. At a time when cut-backs within the arts are, unfortunately, widespread, we are proud of this significant development and the opportunity to increase our capacity to support visual artists in Ireland.”
