Breda and I recently completed the long-in-the-build National Library of Ireland project. It has been installed in the foyer of the National Library which from next weekend is open Saturdays and Sundays.

This model commenced over 3 years ago and in addition to a traditional (for us anyway) grey and tan exterior has a full interior over split levels, some of which is not easily visible from behind the barrier. A construction log was maintained which is running on a video screen in the foyer (and which we also have as a mini-display at Brick Feile). There are also some additional pieces and information (in Irish and English - needless to say they did not rely on me for the translation) in two accompanying display cabinets in the foyer.
