The items on the walls and shelves of Art McCabe’s Andover office testify to his interest. Photographs feature key figures in Irish culture and politics, such as Deputy First Minister Mark Durkan, Nobel Prize-winner John Hume, and Sinn Fein leaders Martin McGuiness and Gerry Adams (whom McCabe will assist during a U.S. trip later this year). There are also Irish books, toys, pieces of bog oak, photographs and original artwork. McCabe favors framed quotations on the walls, including W.B. Yeats,’ "Being Irish, he had an abiding sense of tragedy which sustained him through temporary periods of joy."
