The Mo Mowlam Library was formally opened by His Excellency, Mr Martin Fraser, Irish Ambassador to GB, on 21 November 2024, during his visit to the Coventry Irish Society. We’re grateful to The Irish World for featuring the occasion in a recent hardcopy edition.
Our library is named after Mo Mowlam, who grew up in Coventry and who was one of the key architects of The Good Friday Agreement.
