€2.5m investment into Boole house is logical

The first, €950,000, phase of stabilising the 18th century building which for a crucial period was the lodgings of George Boole — the founder of Boolean algebra, which underpins the workings of today’s computers — is now coming to a close, though it’s likely to be two more years before it opens fully as a visitor and innovation centre.
