Our tenancy followed a period of time where a partnership was built between Common Ground and the owners of the building, Dublin Cemeteries Trust (formerly Glasnevin Trust). Dublin Cemeteries Trust undertook the renovation of the building which had remained empty over many years. Common Ground were delighted to secure STREAM 3 funding from Department of Arts to upgrade the building as part of the renovation process.
The Lodge is now an organisational base for Common Ground, houses two artist studio/workspaces and has a small meeting space for our community partners. Common Ground are committed to establishing The Lodge as a transformative arts and cultural space, valued and supported by our diverse communities.
@CMacCaba @CommonGroundDub @EoghanOCPBP Some more images of the launch of The Early Writings of James Connolly 1889-1898 published by @iskrabooks
We were honoured to host @CommonGroundDub yesterday for the launch of the first volume of James Connolly's collected works edited by @CMacCaba. The launch concluded with a truly amazing performance of 'Oh Where is Our James Connolly' in the East Wing by @EoghanOCPBP
📗A truly historic book launch event - The Lost and Early Writings of James Connolly - by @CMacCaba. In the surroundings of Kilmainham Gaol, Connolly's continuing relevance, his love of Dublin, and his creativity and wit were brought to life by the speakers.

Around half of Iskra’s steering committee is currently at Kilmainham Gaol for a brilliant book launch event with @CMacCaba for “The Lost and Early Writings of James Connolly, 1889-1898.”
An incredibly poignant place for a launch, as the site of James Connolly’s execution.
