Over 500 alumni & friends gathered in UCD on Bloomsday to hear Jim Sheridan and Brenda Fricker chat to RTÉ Late Late Show presenter Ryan Tubridy discuss their careers, processes and collaborations.

Bloomsday, synonymous with James Joyce and his novel Ulysses, is the most important honours day at University College Dublin, the alma mater of this great 20th century author. This year, the university awarded honorary degrees on Daniel Day-Lewis, Jim Sheridan, Brenda Fricker, Joan Bergin and Laura Mulvey for their contribution to art through film.
