CG Groome was delighted to attend a networking event hosted by the Johns Creek Chamber of Commerce this morning, where he had the opportunity to speak about the strong and growing trade and economic relationship between Ireland and Georgia.

Thank you to Shay Foley and Richard Brooks for the invitation and warm welcome.

Join us on June 16th from 5:30pm–7:30pm for a special Bloomsday screening of 100 Years of Ulysses as we celebrate the life and work of James Joyce. Guests can enjoy burgundy and gorgonzola alongside an opportunity to share and read short passages from Ulysses.

To mark the centenary of the publication of James Joyce's novel Ulysses, Ann Skelly narrates a documentary aiming to unlock the highly influential and controversial book. First published in Paris on February 2, 1922, the epic novel details a single day in Dublin—June 16, 1904—and remains a groundbreaking pillar of 20th-century literature and stream-of-consciousness writing.
