Ireland on Ireland

We recently heard from Luke Ireland and he is enjoying being a George Mitchell Scholar and studying at the Cork Institute of Technology. He just made the soccer team and is excited to be playing in Ireland.

Luke emailed the above photos from his recent trip off campus into the city. He promises to send other photos and updates.
