Through Irish Times fashion journalist Deirdre McQuillan\, the mills McNutt\, Magee1866\, Molloy & Sons\, Triona and Studio Donegal donated their fabrics to a NABA textile workshop. The natural and sustainable quality of Donegal tweed appealed to the young people as an alternative to cheap synthetic materials. \nThe Coach House Gallery\, Dublin Castle\nDuration: 6th June\, 2025 – 24th August\, 2025\nOpening hours: 10 am – 5 pm (closed for lunch 1.15pm – 1.45pm)\nFree admission
