  • Celebrating Culture in Dublin 8! Yesterday, we were delighted to host the Culture Date with Dublin 8 Programme Partners meeting at Pearse Lyons Distillery. It was a fantastic opportunity to hear about the festival’s history and the exciting plans for this year. Culture Date with Dublin 8 is a wonderful celebration of the rich heritage, creativity, and community spirit of our neighborhood. As always, it’s a great chance for us to be tourists in our own city and connect with the vibrant cultural scene around us. We’re looking forward to the festival this May and to welcoming visitors to experience the best of Dublin 8! #CultureDateWithD8 #Dublin8 #PearseLyonsDistillery #Community #CulturalHeritage

    President and CEO at Alltech

    A few years ago, a small group of us took on a big challenge: Run 1,000 miles in one year. (My feet still haven’t forgiven me.) But here’s what it taught us: Consistency is everything. Fall behind, and the catch-up is brutal. Now, we’re setting our sights even higher — for a cause that truly matters. Through the Pearse Lyons ACE Foundation, we’re aiming to raise $100,000. My challenge? 25,000 pushups in 2025! Here’s why you should join me: 💪 Build lasting habits while improving your health. 👩🌾 Support impactful initiatives in agriculture, education, and underserved communities. 🤝 Amplify your impact—your effort goes far beyond yourself. Here’s the truth: Only 9% of New Year’s resolutions stick. This year, let’s forget resolutions and focus on real, consistent action. Here’s how you can join me: 1️⃣ Donate $25 (or more) to join the challenge. 2️ Get access to a push-up tracker — bookmark it, set reminders, and stay consistent. Not into pushups? No problem! Donate and set your personal goal. Write it in the comments box on the donation page — it’ll appear on the landing page so we can cheer each other on! Here’s the best part: Your dollars will go further! I will match up to $25,000, and so will the Pearse Lyons ACE Foundation, turning $25,000 into $75,000 toward our $100,000 goal. Are you ready to join? https://lnkd.in/gwGx2ebp
