Irish Music: Tributes continue for Dónal Lunny, the influential trad musician who has died aged 79; Christy Moore called him a “dear friend”. Living History: Thirty years after the last Magdalene laundry closed, a new account revisits the lives shaped by the institutions. Arts and Books: An exhibition by a Gaza City art collective has opened at IMMA, while the An Post Irish Book Awards shortlist features writers including Maggie O’Farrell, Louise Kennedy and the late Manchán Magan.
