My Country

A geographical map of the island of Ireland, Irish Euro coins,
our literature represented by Samuel Beckett, James Joyce, Seamus Heaney, Liam O'Flaherty,
Paul Durcan, Sebastian Barry, Pat McCabe and two local poets, Conor O'Callaghan and Katherine Duffy.
Irish music from U2, Rory Gallagher and fiddle player Gerry O'Connor and a ticket for
a match between the Irish soccer team and Italy, and a glimpse of a green Ireland
football jersey.
