Cowen urges buyer to make Pearse letter available to State
Mr Cowen told the Dáil that he was unable to say if the Government had bid for the document at James Adam salesrooms in Dublin on Wednesday night.
“I only heard this morning that this historic document was sold for €700,000 yesterday. I can only hope that the buyer would be a person or institution who would be able perhaps to make it available for our own archives or artefacts for the future.
