Forgotten 

A unique collage of Kabuki dance and Irish storytelling, Forgotten has been a huge international success for Fishamble during the past decade. It is a captivating portrayal of four elderly characters living in retirement homes around Ireland. 
Pat Kinevane’s haunting performance brings to life these sometimes-forgotten voices of society. 

Silent 

Silent is the touching and challenging story of homeless McGoldrig, who once had splendid things. But he has lost it all – including his mind. He now dives into the wonderful wounds of his past through the romantic world of Rudolph Valentino. 

Underneath 

Sticks and stones didn’t break Her bones, but words and pointing crushed Her. 
Is Beauty really only skin deep? 
Does Ugliness hide somewhere deeper? 
This stunning new play is a blackly comic, rich and vivid tale of a life lived in secret, a testament to the people who live on the fringes, under the nose of everyday life. It explores the surface, and what lies underneath.

Tickets: €18/€16 conc. per show or €45 for all 3

Quish’s SuperValu has been named as one of Ireland’s Best Managed companies in the Deloitte Best Managed Companies Awards programme, in association with Bank of Ireland. The company, which demonstrated superior business performance 7th year, was recognised at a gala awards dinner in Dublin on 1st March 2019.

This year, 12 new companies join a network of 136 companies that were awarded the status of Best Managed. The Best Managed Companies network this year has total revenues of almost €11 billion, export sales of almost €3 billion and total employment of approximately 44,000 people.

Commenting on the award Cormac Quish said “ We are delighted to have requalified as a Deloitte Best Managed Company platinum standard. It’s been a great process over the years to raise our standards and has helped drive us on in business and in pursuit and winning of other awards through the years. This year we have won many other awards also. Our store in Tramore won the national Q-mark award for hygiene and food safety for the second time in 3 years, and they won the Medium off-licence of the year award at the Dylan’s Wine Store of the year awards also for the second time. Also this year our store in West Village Ballincollig won Ireland’s Best Dairy and Cheese counter at the Checkout Best In Fresh awards for the fifth year and our instore kitchen in West Village won a 4th Blas na hEireann gold medal for our seafood chowder. Having the highest standards in freshfood, quality, service and value is Quish’s Super Valu is about. Winning these awards helps us to show our customers how high our standards are as they are judged by objective panels of experts in the field.

We have also added a new store to the group in February of this year in Ballincollig county Cork and have revamped this store to one of the most modern and fresh supermarkets in the country. This was a challenge that we were in good shape to achieve from the high standards the Deloitte Best Managed Company awards helped us to set.”

Anya Cummins, Partner, Deloitte said: “Well done to all of the winning companies on their achievement. The Best Managed Companies process is a rigorous one, examining every facet of an organisation, and the bar is set high by our judging panel. As ever, the spread of companies, right around the country and across a number of industries, underlines the importance of Irish and Northern Irish companies to the economy and in the midst of economic uncertainty, technology disruption, an open competitive market and full employment, the continued strong performance of these businesses is admirable. In the current environment, it is important for this contribution to be recognised, supported and showcased.”

Tom Hayes, Chief Executive, Bank of Ireland Corporate Banking said: “It’s a challenging time for businesses in general, with the operating environment consistently and rapidly changing, due to technological developments, new ways of doing things, and challenges on the macroeconomic horizon. The Best Managed Companies this year have demonstrated that they can optimise each area of their business while always operating with an acute awareness of their environment, recognising the opportunities of expansion into global markets, in addition to strategic alliances and partnerships. I look forward to their continued growth.”

This year’s judging panel members were Frank Ryan, Chair of the Judging Panel; Brendan Jennings, CEO, Deloitte Ireland; Tom Hayes, Chief Executive, Bank of Ireland Corporate Banking; Siobhan McAleer, Commercial Director at the IMI; Rose Hynes, Chairman of the Shannon Group Board and Origin Enterprises; and Feargal Mooney, former Chief Executive Officer of HostelWorld.
