We are very saddened to hear of the death of the great poet Michael Longley. He read his poetry for the Irish Poetry Reading Archive many years ago and we remember his visit fondly. Here he is Remembering Carrigskeewaun. youtu.be/0HpBq0N7eRs?... Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.

UCD archives @ucdarchives.bsky.social have such a wealth of material on the revolutionary generation including the later lives of such women and men. It is always a lovely experience to visit. But also so wonderful that some collections are being digitalised.

📚💳 How it started / How it's going...UCD Library is ageing beautifully 😊 "The library building is perhaps the most essential part of any university."
