Noel Curran writes of world-renowned Harry Clarke

‘An Irishman’s Diary’ in The Irish Times on Monday is about world-renowned stained-glass artist Harry Clarke. It’s a lovely read.

It is said that one of his windows is in the Catholic church in Castlegregory in West Kerry. 


It would seem that a large number of churches lay claim to Harry Clarke windows. Once questioned, people in the know are inclined to say, well, it’s from the Harry Clarke school.


The Catholic church in Dublin's Terenure has a Harry Clarke window.

  

The writer of the Diary is Noel Curran, the current director-general of the European Broadcasting Union. 


Today The Irish Times has as an insert its 2021 calendar.
