![]() ![]() ![]() But developer Tequila Works has done a number on me. The trailers had us thinking the game, which is exclusive to Google's Stadia streaming service, was a horror-lite title, something for kids and the easily spooked. I'd glanced over the game's bumf and screenshots with curiosity but met its Teen rating with a derisory chuckle. I'm ashamed to say I came into Gylt a little smug. This world may look sweet and innocent with its Play-Doh colours and cartoonish aesthetics, but - as I'm belatedly realising - it's anything but. Not for the first time, I realise I'm not entirely sure what's going on. I realise there's nowhere else to go, and the panic intensifies. I grab my flashlight and wave it vaguely in its direction - I say vaguely because it's leaping about a lot and I'm panicking here - but it's ineffectual. Screeching with delight, it launches itself at me, face splitting in two to reveal a horrifying, pulsing void as it scurries after me, trying to suck me in. ![]() I risk peering over the top and instantly regret it: I've been spotted. "Come here," it adds in its sweet, musical voice. It lurches drunkenly from side to side, eyes glowing in the inky blackness of the room, head spinning at unnatural angles as it scans the space, primed for the slightest flicker of movement. "You can trust me," it says, as I tip-toe as swiftly as I dare into a dark corner, concealing myself - I hope - against a pile of damp, forgotten boxes. Sarah is married to Hari Gupta and they have three children.Tequila Works' teen-rated horror might surprise you with its shocks and creepy atmosphere, but it's a little thin. Sarah completed her undergraduate degree in English Literature and Geography at University College Dublin, going on to train as a secondary school teacher and completing a Higher Diploma in Education from NUI Maynooth, prior to joining the civil service. Sarah’s assignments at headquarters include as Assistant Chief of Protocol, Deputy Director for Middle East North Africa, and Deputy Director for EU Enlargement and Western Balkans, as well as assignments working on justice and victims’ issues relating to Northern Ireland, and in the Development Cooperation Division on emergency humanitarian aid. Overseas, she has served as Deputy Head of Mission at Ireland’s Embassy to Australia, and at the Embassy of Ireland in Mexico First Secretary at the Permanent Mission of Ireland to the United Nations in Geneva and as Third Secretary at the Embassy of Ireland, New Delhi, India. Sarah Mangan is Ireland’s first Consul General to the North of England.Ī career diplomat with over 21 years of experience with the Irish Foreign Service, Sarah has served in a number of roles since joining the Department of Foreign Affairs in 1999. We hope the Consulate General will do much to enrich and strengthen the relationship between Ireland and the North of England in the years to come. We look forward to building on these existing relationships and engaging with the dozens of Irish heritage and culture bodies in the North of England, supporting community and cultural activities. Through the Emigrant Support Programme, the Irish Government already supports nearly 30 Irish community organisations across the region. ![]() The North of England is also home to over 135,000 people who were born on the island of Ireland, and many thousands more who claim Irish descent. Ties between Ireland and the North of England are exceptionally deep, based on history, economic, and cultural relationships. We also work closely with the State Agencies, including Enterprise Ireland with which we share an office, as part of Team Ireland’s collective work to advance Ireland’s commercial and promotional interests in the North of England. As the Consulate gets established, consular services, such as passports, visas, and emergency assistance, will continue to be provided by the Embassy in London. We work closely with the Embassy of Ireland in London, where Ambassador Adrian O’Neill leads efforts to promote and protect Ireland’s interests in Great Britain. The opening of a Consulate General in Manchester is a concrete example of the Irish Government’s enduring commitment to the British–Irish relationship, and to the Irish community in Britain, and Irish businesses operating here. We are proud to represent Ireland in the English regions of the North West, North East, and Yorkshire and the Humber.
