I've been living in Cork for a while and I've been a member of the Rory Gallagher music library on Grand Parade. It's brilliant, the collection of Irish trad albums is great.
But I'm moving up to Dublin now and I found out that there's a music library in the Ilac centre in town. I'm just wondering how it compares to the Cork one in terms of Irish trad content.
Hmm, but ITMA doesn't operate as a library - you can't borrow material. My memory of Dublin Central Library is that it has a pretty extensive music collection.

Im not sure about tune libraries.

I found the trad section in the library here to be quite good, also some instrument tutors here too which is nice.
