By Molly Ferns, Editorial Assistant The National Library of Ireland has become the new home to Nobel Laureate Seamus Heaney’s collection of literary papers. “I’m overwhelmed at the number of people that the library has brought in to celebrate this moment and I’m deeply indebted and deeply honoured,” said Heaney at a reception held in the reading room of the National Library on December 21. Among those who attended the event was Taoiseach Enda Kenny who said it was a privilege for the Irish nation to receive the archives of “one of the world’s foremost word sculptors.”
