The students at Mercy Secondary School in Dublin’s Inchicore would rather follow a story from a book than from Instagram thanks to a former board member who donated a library to the school as one of her final wishes.

The school launched a new library space in honour of Anna Maire McQuillan, a past pupil and board of management member who died last year.
