I was delighted to recently visit the Joyce Museum located at LETS, Museo della Letteratura in Trieste. Joyce arrived to this impressive adriatic city in Oct 1904. I reached Trieste after walking the #AlpeAdria trail; Austria, Slovenia & into Italy.

I am so sorry to hear this news. I was fortunate to work with Justin Kilcullen & the wonderful team in @trocaire. Justin met the demands of his senior role with focus and humility. He showed wonderful leadership. A sad day. @CdeBarra @CatholicBishops
