Just got back from Atlanta where I spend some time visiting the Jimmy Carter Presidential Library. It got me thinking that it would be a great idea to replicate this here with the respective Taoiseach since the founding of the State.
It would serve as a way to educate people (especially school children) about the issues that the respective Taoiseachs faced ( what was going on at the time, the personalities involved, etc). Plus it would bring a lot of tourist euros to areas that could be off the main tourist trails (Longford , Drumcondra , Cork city).

How big a hall in Drumcondra would it take to house a shoe box of Manchester United programmes?

True Hardy - but don't forget Bertie probably has a sackful of them dodgy All Ireland programs with the wrong line ups that were sold to gobshite punters in the 70s.

Albert's library would be in Boyle in Roscommon. Albert was a blow-in to Longford.

Don't forget bookies dockets, unspent punts, note wrappers and money bags.

Just the latest it a line of jokes the mumbling spoofer has had at our expense, not all of them with the Drumcondra mafia's stamp of approval

Bertie would have a decent size collection of academic material from his studies at UCD and the London School of Economics.
