Royal Irish Academy Culture and Heritage Working Group Publish Series of Papers

Written by senior academics with strong ties to many of the state’s cultural institutions, these papers constitute a set of reflections regarding the necessity for and social benefits of supporting enhanced attention to the creativity of Irish life.
