3. ‘Your Special Collections Room
is a real treasure and I
enjoyed being there very
much. The Foras Feasa
Manuscripts are
remarkable, and seeing them
together was interesting.
Anyone doubting the value of
the humanities in education
could benefit from a similar
tour, to see how culture is
actually transmitted and
preserved.’
Mary O’Malley, Irish poet
Recorded in Special Collections for the
Irish Poetry Reading Archive
