Four priceless Irish manuscripts from the Dark Ages have been conserved by Trinity College Dublin following a three-year programme.
The rarely seen manuscripts, which date back as far as the fifth or sixth century, have been repaired, analysed and digitised and will go on public display together for the first time.
The manuscripts come from different parts of Ireland and their stories are rich in history and myth. Listen to Dr Rachel Moss explain the origins of the Garland of Howth.
