Aosdána, an Irish organisation of people who have achieved distinction in the arts
Aosdána |
This is also the home place of contemporary artist and member of Aosdána, Alice Maher.
As a member of Aosdána she became a key opponent of the Catholic convert and nationalist Francis Stuart, a one-time son-in-law of Maud Gonne, for his perceived anti-Semitism.
In 1990 he and his wife moved back to Ireland and in 1993 he was elected a Saoi of Aosdána.
