Solas Nua’s 2nd Annual Irish Book Day is also made possible due to Solas Nua’s association with the Rediscover Northern Ireland programme.

This event would not be possible with out the kind donations from the various publishers. Solas Nua would like to thank all the publishers who made this event possible.
