Well done on todays work - here is a rough summary of the findings.

Liverpool's
Creating body of work
Making submissions for shows
Making collaborations with other artists/ arts practitioners eg a composer
Thinking about residencies - eg Stonehenge
Thinking about what is happening outside Dublin
St Ives
Working by research and installation
Being driven by the desire to realize a concept rather than a material or a defined process of manufacture
Networks with other artists
The benefits of working away from home, gave the example of working in Poland
Keep an open mind about your influences don't necessarily focus on your "likes" or "dislikes" allow your self to be challenged by art.
Moderns
Never compare yourself to other artists
Experiment and push yourself to find your own way.
Worked in the early career with other artists producing a symposium in Limerick
Took on landmark commissions in Temple Bar
Has confidence in the strength of his work
Britain's
Set up things while you are in College
Be a self organizer
Network
Show people that you are highly motivated
there are benefits to linking in with public bodies
