Delighted to attend Yeats Society IRL Olympic Centenary event this morning to celebrate Jack B Yeats' silver medal for art from the 1924 games, with a fascinating insight by Hilary Pyle.

Hilary Pyle is here at the #Yeats Building #Sligo - let the games commence! And what better way to do so than to find out all about Jack Yeats and his silver #Olympic medal.

A country girl who became an inspiration, who helped to open our eyes to the world and whose life and work will remain with us, along with her great laugh. #EdnaOBrien - thank you.

She gave the Niland Lecture ( in memory of the great Nora Niland) on #YeatsDay. 2015. I was lucky enough to meet her and have a conversation with her. She was lovely. #EdnaOBrien RIP

We celebrated Jack #Yeats’ silver medal and Oliver StJohn Gogarty’s bronze medal in #Paris #Olympics 1924 last #Saturday and sent our warm #Sligo wishes to Team Ireland & how happy we are to see Sligo’s #Mona bring home a great victory. Huge congratulations
