Our Condolences on the passing of Seamus Heaney

Dear Colleagues,

We know that all in the IASIL community were shocked and saddened to hear of the passing of Seamus Heaney last week. We will send our deep condolences to his wife, Marie, and to his children Catherine Ann, Christopher and Michael on the organisation’s behalf.

Members outside of Ireland may wish to know that the funeral service can be watched online through RTE Player (and will be accessible only for another 6 days).
