In the 12th annual Thomas D\u2019Arcy McGee Summer School we want to turn the focus future-side and look to the issues which will fundamentally shape the next twenty-five years of the GFA across this shared island. In his day, D\u2019Arcy McGee provided leadership, not by dwelling on past/ongoing divisions but rather by working with former enemies to build a new world, embracing new challenges together. Tommy Sands is a Northern Irish folk singer, songwriter, radio broadcaster, and political activist. He performs with his three siblings as The Sands Family; solo as Tommy Sands; and with his son and daughter as Tommy Sands with Moya and Fion\xe1n Sands.
