UCC to receive O'Riada music collection

The O’Riada collection, which contains instruments, original scores, correspondence, possessions and 2000 books belonging to one of the country’s most important traditional musicians, is today being presented to the Taoiseach on behalf of Ireland.

The Sean O’Riada collection is to be housed in University College Cork’s Boole Library after the university was given more than €500,000 by the Government to purchase and preserve it.
