Shrouded Spirits was an exhibition of photographs by visual artist Betty Gannon. The photographs document the response by local shops that sell alcohol to the Irish Intoxicating Liquor Act, a law that requires that on Good Friday no person shall "sell or expose for sale any intoxicating liquor". The exhibition, in McGing's Bar in Westport, was opened on Holy Thursday (the day before Good Friday), but then closed on Good Friday itself (as was the premises, in accordance with the Act) before re-opening on the subsequent Saturday.
