The evening was launched by Her Excellency Diana Zagorianou-Prifti, Greek Ambassador to Ireland, with introductions by Yiorgos Chouliaras, Press Counsellor of the Embassy of Greece. Music was provided by classical guitarist Yiannis Giagourtas. Greek translations of Dorgan's poems, by Socrates Kabouropoulos (who was unable to attend), were read by Dorgan's long-time friend, and Chair of the Irish Anti-War Movement, Michael Youlton.

My sincere congratulations to each one that have arranged and or contributed to this wonderful Poetry event by Theo Dorgan that I had also the previlege to meet.
WELL DONE AND I HOPE THAT THE IRISH/HELLENIC SOCIETY together with the Greek Hellenic Community and the Greek embassy Press Office will enrich us more with many other events in the near future.
Kind regards to all.
