Dictionary of Irish Biography presented to Peter Robinson

16 December 2015
An Taoiseach Enda Kenny presented Peter Robinson with the Dictionary of Irish Biography

An Taoiseach Enda Kenny, on behalf of the Irish government, presented Peter Robinson, First Minister of Northern Ireland, with a nine-volume set of the Royal Irish Academy's Dictionary of Irish Biography during a recent North–South Ministerial Conference.

Coverage on RTÉ Six One news, in the Irish Independent, the Irish News, and on UTV news www.u.tv.
