Book of Kells ownership

Summary

The Book of Kells dispute resumed, with Senator Norris asserting it belongs in Trinity and Senator Butler insisting it belongs to the people of Ireland; the Chair urged them not to make a scene.

David P.B. Norris Senator David Norris Independent

Hear, hear. It is in Trinity College, where it should be.

Comment on this

It belongs to the people of Ireland, not Trinity College. The college has no right to keep the four volumes. A legal challenge will have to be made.

I do not want a holy scene about this. Please allow the Leader to continue.
