SATURDAY

Almost every piece was sold in last night's sale of works of art from Bank of Ireland's collection in Dublin.

A collection of hand-written letters giving a poignant account of the Famine is to be donated to an archive and ultimately made available for academic research, it was announced tonight.

President Mary McAleese is to unveil a major Famine memorial park during an official visit to Canada this month.

IN the heady days of the late 1990s when Irish art was new to the international market it seemed as if you could sell anything once it was from an Irish artist. It is not like that now.
