You would have been 81 today mum. You are loved and remembered and continue to inspire every single day. Holding these words close tonight ❤️ #eavanboland
I am in genuine awe at the courage, strength and resilience Nikita Hand has shown in taking this case, and in how she dealt with the hearing.
She really is an extraordinary, inspiring woman.

Donald Trump and Kamala Harris are not taking the same exam.
He gets to be LAWLESS. She has to be FLAWLESS.
Whether she articulates them perfectly every time, she actually HAS policies she is fighting for. He is out here talking about PENISES !!!!!
This double standard is starting to piss people off — and for good reason.
Eavan Boland gave voice and spirit to Irish suffragists on the steps of the UN in 2018. I was proud to be with her as she declared “ Our future will become the past of other women”. Delighted her name will grace Trinity College’s largest library. Wisdom at last!
@EavanWebb@tcddublin I think I met your mum at an event in the Lexixon recently if I’m not mistaken. Lovely to make the connection and thanks so much- we are thrilled with the news and feel it is such a fitting tribute.
Absolutely thrilled and incredibly honoured that @tcddublin have decided to name their main library after our mother Eavan Boland. It is a wonderful recognition of her accomplishments as an Irish poet but also will hopefully inspire countless future generations of trailblazers and activists as she also was. Beyond thankful to everyone who made this happen. @LindaDoyle
The Eavan Boland Library will be the 1st building on campus named after a woman. Provost Dr @LindaDoyle said: “It is a fitting recognition of Eavan Boland’s poetic genius that our main Library, used by so many students and staff, will now carry her name."
@CelizMurray @EavanBoland@MartinDoyleIT And so much thanks to you for being the catalyst for that wonderful open letter which illustrated how widespread the support was for a permanent space in her honour. Today marks a huge step forward in ensuring our accomplished women writers are not written out of history!
