We have a rightful claim to get book back

We are told that more than 80 years ago it was “transferred” to Chatsworth.

UCC president, Michael Murphy, says “it occupied a unique position in the sometimes complex history between Britain and Ireland” and pays tribute to the Duke of Devonshire and his ancestors for preserving it.
