Also on display is the original letter nominating him as first President of Ireland, signed by members of the two main political parties in D il ireann - Fianna F il and Fine Gael - along with many other items of historical interest. The grounds of the building have been tastefully landscaped and include Garden a Chraoibh n. Graded work sheets are available for schoolchildren of all ages.
