As a gesture to all those who have died, or who have lost a loved-one during the past year, President Higgins and Sabina invited Dan McCabe to perform ‘The Parting Glass’ at Áras an Uachtaráin, to remember the year that was, and to bring 2020 to a close with a thought for them all.

The performance is part of the President’s ‘Samhlaíocht agus An Náisiún / Imagination and the Nation’ initiative, highlighting the powerful and transformative role of art and creativity in society.
