Back from an incredible few days on Ireland's beautiful west coast after attending the Mary From Dungloe International Arts Festival.
At Crannull - Lead Generation in Construction and the Built Environment, we were honoured to sponsor Eva O'Sullivan, this year's London Mary from Dungloe. We couldn't be more delighted that she went on to be crowned Mary From Dungloe 2026 on Sunday evening.
Eva was a fantastic ambassador throughout the festival, conducting herself with warmth, professionalism and genuine enthusiasm. With entrants travelling from across Ireland and overseas, including the USA, the standard was incredibly high, making her achievement even more special. She now has the privilege of representing Dungloe and the festival over the next 12 months at events both at home and abroad, and we're sure she'll do an outstanding job.
The festival itself was a brilliant reminder of the importance of community. With more than 45,000 people attending across the 10-day celebration, it was fantastic to see the town buzzing with visitors, the pubs and restaurants full, and such a positive atmosphere throughout.
For me personally, it made the weekend even more special. My mother's family came from the Dungloe area, and the festival was always one of the highlights of the year for her. Returning to the town, catching up with familiar faces, and meeting so many people who still remembered our family's connections was something I'll never forget. It reminded me just how welcoming and close-knit the community is.
A special thanks to Bridie Cunningham who got us involved with the festival this year, special memories for everyone involved!
Congratulations once again to Eva on a thoroughly deserved win, and thank you to everyone involved in organising another fantastic festival. We're proud that Crannull could play a small part in such a special event and wish Eva every success during her year as Mary From Dungloe. 🍀
