Letitia Dunbar-Harrison
Letitia Dunbar-Harrison (4 February 1906 – 1994) was an Irish librarian who became the subject of a controversy over her appointment.〔〔(Scannal - The Curious Case of the Mayo Librarian ), RTÉ Television, retrieved 22 January 2010〕 A graduate of Trinity College Dublin,〔 she is the subject of the 2009 book by Pat Walsh, ''The Curious Case of the Mayo Librarian'', and a RTÉ documentary of the same name.〔
==Mayo county librarian controversy==
In 1930, a vacancy for county librarian arose in County Mayo, the county with the smallest non-Catholic minority in Ireland. Dunbar-Harrison was recommended for the role by the Local Appointments Commission.〔(John Joseph Lee, Ireland 1912-1985: Politics and Society )〕〔(Dáil Éireann- Vol. 36 - 11 December 1930, Private Notice Question. - Co. Mayo Librarianship )〕 The Library Committee of Mayo County Council, mostly consisting of prominent local Catholics as well as a bishop, refused to endorse the recommendation, claiming her grasp of Irish was inadequate.〔 During the debate, it was asked "could a Protestant be trusted to hand out books to Catholics?".〔
The County Council accordingly did not sanction her nomination. In response, the government dissolved the County Council and replaced it with a Commissioner who appointed Dunbar-Harrison to the role of county librarian.〔〔(Dáil Éireann - Vol. 39 - 17 June 1931 - Orders of the Day - Local Government Bill, 1931 - Second State )〕〔
The government's stance was strongly opposed by some prominent Catholic clerics and politicians, including Opposition leader Éamon de Valera.〔 Despite the government standing its ground on the appointment, a boycott of the library ensued which eventually resulted in W. T. Cosgrave, President of the Executive Council, and Catholic Archbishop of Tuam, Dr. Thomas Gilmartin, coming to an agreement to transfer Dunbar-Harrison from Mayo to a Department of Defence post in Dublin in January 1932.〔〔〔(Dáil Éireann - Vol. 50 - 29 November 1933, Ceisteanna.—Questions. Oral Answers. - Appointments to the Civil Service. )〕
