A chara, - I was horrified to hear that in these times of the "Celtic Tiger", when £20 million could be found for the GAA, £3150,000 could not be found for the National Library to purchase a rare book of Irish bardic poetry.
Granted, the poor, homeless or handicapped didn't do as well out of this year's Budget as they should have, but they will hopefully have another chance next year. We will never get another opportunity to return this valuable piece of our culture to our country. - Is mise le meas,
