Next door to Mansion House is the seat of Ireland's pre-eminent society of letters, whose 18th-century library houses many important documents, including an extensive collection of ancient manuscripts such as the Book of Dun Cow , the oldest surviving Irish manuscript; the Cathach of St Columba ; and the entire collection of 19th-century poet Thomas Moore (1779-1852).
