My quote is on their website along with quotes from lots of other Dublin writers here. The site is well worth a trip around.
Edinburgh, Melbourne and Iowa City are the only other cities with this distinction, which is permanent. I think it's an exciting day for Dublin and for writers who live or are from there. Yay!

Congratulations, Dublin! That's very exciting, I'll have to try and pop over and share some of the excitement. Like your new blog template, BTW.
Dear Niamh: This is wholly awesome! We have a UNESCO biosphere here where I live. What are they going to do there, put the writers and books in biospheres? That would be awesomer!
Like your comments on the site, Nuala. I was at the photocall for this - it was star studded!
Cool, Eimear. I couldn't make it. Is the photo online anywhere?
Chico - erm, don't think so. It's more of a cultural promotional tool, I think. But well deserved. Dublin is a great city for literature.
Tania - love to meet you in Dublin sometime!!
Niamh B - indeedy!
Here are some pics from the Children's Books Ireland facebook:

Thanks, Eimear. My friend Patrick said he might go along but I don't see him in that bunch. Or you!? N x
