Gaelcon 23 – 2011
Gaelcon 23 took place from 29th to 31st October, 2011. Just about! Although all set to go ahead for the third time in Jury’s/the D4 Hotel/D4 Ballsbridge Inn or the Ballsbridge Hotel (whichever name was in fashion that year), flooding of the booked venue immediately prior to the October Bank Holiday weekend meant we had to find an alternate venue, extremely rapidly. Thus, we ended up returning to the RDS for the second time ever.
