John Perry
Ceist:314 Mr. Perry asked the Minister for Arts, Heritage Gaeltacht and the Islands if she will make funding available to the Yeats Society, Sligo to purchase the early manuscript draft of the Lake Isle of Inisfree by W. B. Yeats as the poem is written in ink and has corrections and syllable counts in pencil in Yeats's hand; if her attention has been drawn to the fact that the manuscripts are due to be offered for sale on 6 and 7 December 2000 and that the Lake Isle of Inisfree has direct association with Sligo; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
