It has been said that bookshops are the afterlife for good trees and the sound of turning pages is a kind of prayer to them.\n\nBelfast bookworm Caitl\xedn Nic \xcdomhair is the manager of An Siopa Leabhar on Harcourt Street, Dublin\u2019s finest specialist Irish language bookshop. Just like another famous Harcourt Street institution, the walls of An Siopa Leabhar stand witness to tales of heartbreak and debauchery\u2026 but unlike Coppers, they usually have page numbers on them here. She tells Darach and \xc9imear all about it in this week\u2019s episode, in which she also finds time to give a whistle stop tour of Ulster Irish and rhapsodise over underrated poet Biddy Jenkinson.\n\nIf you can\u2019t make it to Harcourt Street, you can find An Siopa Leabhar online at [www.cnagsiopa.com](www.cnagsiopa.com)\n\n--- \n\nContact the show at https://twitter.com/motherfocloir or email us at motherfocloir@headstuff.org.\nLearn more about your ad choices.
