I'm biased, but it's astonishing that an article about 'Dublin's status as a literary city' can fail to mention @DublinCityofLit , @DublinLitAward, @ilfd, and, not least, @dubcilib, all funded by @DubCityCouncil. We don't do it for the likes, but give us some credit.

Why is our recovery from the cyber-attack taking so long?
We're rebuilding our entire tech estate to meet security standards. This includes all servers, networks & data which enables access to our collection.
Thanks for your patience as we ensure everything is safe and secure.

It was such an honour to have acquired Edna O'Brien’s papers for safekeeping in the National Library of Ireland - I will never forget it 💔 rte.ie/culture/2021/0910/124…

"I want to give a picture of Dublin so complete that if the city suddenly disappeared from the earth it could be reconstructed out of my book."
