A Reminder...

 

Now you can personally own a Bob Quinn film.

BUT

If you just want to borrow them, a selection is available in the following Public Libraries in Ireland:
Carlow, Cavan, Clare, Cork, Donegal, Dun Laoire/Rathdown, Dublin, Galway, Kerry, Kildare, Leitrim, Limerick, Mayo, Offaly, Tallaght, Waterford, Westmeath, the National Library and in most 3rd level colleges.

(There's no catch - just support your local library)
