President McAleese has asked me to convey her personal thanks for your kind gift of the very first recording of the complete works of Turlough O'Carolan. You might like to know that the President visits the O'Carolan grave each year when she is in Keadue so be assured that your gift will be treasured.
The President has also asked that I express her thanks to you for all you have done, and continue to do, in the name of Ireland.
With every good wish.
Yours Sincerely.
Helen Carney
Private Secretary to the President
