Two special screenings have been organised by cultural events company Happenings to celebrate and remember Robin Williams who sadly passed away earlier this week.
Last night, hundreds of people turned up in Merrion Square for an outdoor screening of the 1989 American drama Dead Poets Society, with people taking to their feet during the ‘O Captain, My Captain’ scene:
