There
are seven main rooms open to the public in the Áras. The rest of it is left
for the President's own use. We only picked our favourite three rooms, so
enjoy!
The
State Drawing Room
The
State Reception Room
The
President's Study
The President's
Study.
This is the President's own personal study. Pictures of her family hang on
the walls. The room has a door leading to the President's own private partof
this magnificent house.
