Seamus Heaney

"You have chosen a great name for a great venture. Slemish is our holy mountain; the association with St Patrick gives it a special aura for people of all denominations in Ireland. But even as a natural feature it radiates positive force: the very look of it makes the heart lift. I wish the College great success. May it be here for good in every sense." - Seamus Heaney, Nobel Prize Winning Poet
