Description

I see it as one of the foundation stones of a new civic culture in the island.’ Irish News Owen Kelly ‘. . . Professor Dolan’s excellent dictionary, where you find such gems as “hallion” and “at the heel of the hunt” sitting comfortably with the Irish and English origins of much of our speech, is a significant contribution.’
