The centre is well-known in Ireland's creative community, and is designed for people to take time out of their daily routines and have enough space - both physical and psychological - to work on new projects.

When I am writing a book, I need to close the door when I finish, and no one should get in. I have the idea in my mind that the story is an entity that lives in that room, with the characters and the emotions that I have been putting together. And when I come back the next day, I open the door and it's waiting for me intact.

For one brief moment, I had five displays glowing around my laptop. For another brief moment, I thought this was a good idea. But as it turns out, there are limits to peak productivity.

Admin parties are the modern equivalent of a barn-raising, where friends gather to tackle their to-do lists together, making the process enjoyable and productive.
