THE FIRST EVER public library in Ireland is crowdfunding to conserve three important books from its collection.
Bram Stoker, Jonathan Swift and James Joyce all used the library, which has been open since 1707, and has books dating back to the 1400s.
Three of its most important books need conservation work and the library is trying to raise funds so this can be carried out.
The books are :
This book in particular is known to have been read by Bram Stoker, and deals with the use of astrology and magic in the prediction of political events – a dangerous occupation for those involved in its practice.
The library needs €3,115 to conserve the three books at its on-site conservation lab.
This is the first time the library has used crowdfunding to raise money.
The library is giving rewards for donations of over €5.

Can’t stand the tagline ‘don’t cook, just eat’. Cooking is being looked down upon when it’s much cheaper, tastier and better for you. People need to be educated about cooking from a young age.
You work hard, you play hard…sometimes you wanna just eat! No guilt necessary!
I love cooking, but I also love justeat.
I really don’t think a website service or a tagline is going to make much difference to lazy unmotivated fatties who can’t be bothered cooking.
Isn’t technology fantastic,if you touch your phone in the right place a pizza will arrive at your front door.
They take 25 percent and dont pay for two months. Takeaway owners are leaving them in large nunbers. This is more rubbish concealed advertising by the journal and a paid poster above.
They take 11%
Just back for mc Sh”t in maynooth. Tried one of those new quarter pounder burgers. Horrific is all I can say. Should have brought it back in,but like most irish people I just said I won’t be coming here again.
Anyone else notice this new thing where eating copious amounts of fast food is seen as “manly” and a thing of respect? It seems to be common in young males, such as college students, etc.
There is nothing manly about eating bacon sandwiches everyday or ordering takeaway food more than once a week. In fact, it’s usually just overweight nerds looking for quick release endorphins.
Not to mention if you indulge in food like this often, you are gluttonous and therefore by default, evil.
Someone get this fella a snickers
Take a bow David – that was a classic
I hate everything and everyone too.
Can I get some green thumbs, please?
Starving

You’re funny.
Haha paulie well done on that one
As former Just-Eat.ie MD, I am not surprised by these results in Ireland. I left in 2011, but as of May this year I am launching a rival http://www.Marvin.ie which will be fairer to both restaurants and customers. Restaurants will only be charged 7% instead of 12% and consumers can earn FREE meals based on a coffee-shop loyalty reward system. I am here to compete and I would love to show Just-Eat that they are not untouchable.
*Like a coffee shop loyalty reward system
Best of luck!
Any app for this or just a website
