Pavlo Bogachenko and his partner, Anna Krys, left home for a holiday and ended up living in Ireland. Bogachenko, a solicitor in Kyiv, had applied for the New York bar exam in February 2022, planning a US holiday (Chicago, California, Miami) afterwards. Four days after he left Ukraine, Russia invaded. The couple were stranded in New York, worried for their families, as Ukraine airspace closed and they pondered what to do.

We meet in Fitzpatrick Castle Hotel in Killiney, south Co Dublin. It’s near home for Mary Ann Kenny, and also near where her husband John collapsed one fine April day in 2015 while jogging, and died. His death left Kenny, a lecturer in German, and their two primary-school-aged boys stunned, grieving, their lives suddenly torn apart.

At the top of a hill in Shandon, on Cork’s northside, on a sunny Monday afternoon, it’s womb-like inside Firkin Crane dance centre, where they’re working on the precise mechanics of scorching the earth. Upstairs in the versatile performance studio the raked seating is up, exposing the full mirrored wall, as five performers, including the dancer, choreographer and writer Luke Murphy, literally go through the motions.

On Tuesday afternoon, February 11th 2025, 34-year-old Adam Loughnane walked into the emergency department of University Hospital Galway. He had contacted his support worker from homeless charity Cope that morning, crying, saying he was feeling numb. They drank tea, then rang the local mental health unit together and were told he should present at UHG’s emergency department (ED). The support worker drove him to hospital.
