      Was in a second hand bookshop recently, and they had the old Leaving Cert syllabus Art History book in the shop from when I did my leaving cert back in the 1980s.

      Flicking through it, I noticed that the Irish section dealing with Irish art and architecture from pre-christian times onwards had NO information on IRISH ARCHITECTURE post 1900.

      Has this changed at all?
      Just interested as these are the future generations of property developers / home owners……

      The only text we had for Art was “The Story of Art” by Gombridge, published by Phaidon. Anyone else have this? I liked it, you were able to just read through the text for pleasure unlike so many of the text books i’ve had over the years.
