Lonely Planet review for Royal Irish Academy
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).
