Public benefits
Cairde Uí Fhiaich promotes access to and appreciation of arts, culture, heritage and education through the Cardinal Tomás Ó Fiaich Memorial Library & Archive (otherwise the Library & Archive) by supporting the Library & Archive financially and in voluntary action. This is done for the benefit of any member of the public who wishes to engage with
the arts, culture and heritage held by the Library & Archive and to promote education in these areas through employment of the Library & Archive's collections and activities. Cairde Uí Fhiaich, The Friends of the Cardinal Tomás Ó Fiaich Memorial Library & Archive exists to advance the public's interest in Culture and Heritage through the work of the Library & Archive by raising funds in support of its work to collect, catalogue, conserve, preserve and make accessible items of cultural and heritage value relating to Irish church history, national and local history, sport, language and the Irish Diaspora. The public benefit of the Library & Archive is that it provides a free and open access to its collections for the enjoyment and education of the public through exhibitions, publications and classes and preserves important aspects of local and national history and heritage for future generations. The benefits that flow from support for the Cardinal Tomás Ó Fiaich Memorial Library & Archive are that the public get to freely enjoy their history and heritage, have their education advanced through interaction with historical documents, books, artefacts and exhibitions and have value added to their cultural experience. The support of the Cairde Uí Fhiaich ensures that the collections are cared for to the highest standard and remain accessible for anyone to enjoy. There is no private benefit or harm from the organisation's purpose.
