This special evening will mark the first major event hosted in the brand-new Shane Fitzsimons Theatre at Kinsale Community School.

Marie Gleeson brings over 20 years of military experience, including commanding the LE AOIFE and navigating high-stakes environments, to deliver a powerful talk on leadership, resilience, and teamwork.
