Looking up in Dublin...

A real joy to travel to Dublin today to meet with our new partners in the European Youth Card Association, developing a new service for young people in Ireland.

It was wonderful to hear their plans and progress and to share some ideas about scope, scale and future developments.

Their offices are in a wonderful Georgian building in the centre of town. The view outside isn't that pretty, due to the tramworks (doesn't that sound familiar!) but inside the architecture and ceilings were just exquisite - at one stage it was a "showpiece" of how such restorations can be done.
