I am delighted to say that an exhibition entitled Seamus Heaney: Listen Now Again will open on to the public on 6 July 2018 at the location referred to by the Deputy .
The new cultural offering will add to Ireland's reputation as a centre of literary celebration. The exhibition will take visitors on a multi-sensory journey from Heaney’s origins through his remarkable poetic career.
The exhibition will draw on the National Library’s extensive archive of Heaney documents and will feature the poet's original manuscripts as well as letters, unpublished works, diary entries, photographs, notebooks and multi-media recordings.
