RUSHEEN seanchaí Eddie Lenihan has voiced his disgust with the lack of interest from Irish institutes in culture as the United States of America prepares to get its hands on his near five-decades collection of stories.
No Irish institute has expressed an interest in housing his collection which has not surprised Eddie but has annoyed him. Eddie told The Clare Echo, “It is disgusting especially when you see all the money dithered away on nothing. I did the work willingly, I met the most wonderful people and heard their stories, that was a privilege to do. The fact that people in Ireland are not interested in the collection but are happy to spend money on nothing is disgusting.” Continues pg 4
