Listened to Sunday Miscellany only now. Loved each single piece GreatBook of Ireland #ThomasMcCarthy #MichelleMcAdoo #DorothyCross #MatthewSweeney. Am touched by #MichaelCoady's "Are you a library?". In #Brazil on the death of #indigenous elders, they say, a whole library dies with them. RTÉ

Back in the day, we all carried a small piece of Pauline's art #callcard RIP

So sad to hear of the death of Pauline Bewick. Her energy and spirit is found in every work. First became aware of her when, as a teenager, I adored Woman with Two Bantam Cocks. A GreatBook of Ireland encounter came next, and more recently Crawford Art Gallery’s Fourteen Steps to Nowhere.

On #WorldBookDay, President of Ireland Higgins and @presidentmt Vella viewed The Great Book of Ireland which includes poems by a poet in his late forties, one Michael D. Higgins. UCC Ireland   Thanks to Tony maxwell photography for capturing this special moment yesterday.

To hear President of Ireland read his contribution to the GreatBook of Ireland during the state visit of @presidentmt UCC Alumni and Development UCC Ireland was another wonderful page in the journey of that “forever giving” book.
