The richly carved deer, hounds, fish and hare on the sideboards standing either side of the central Library door reflect the hunting pastimes of Victorian gentlemen. Probably c. 1860 in date.
The brown trout displayed on all three sideboards in the Main Hall weigh between 6 and 7 kilograms (14 and 16 lbs). They were caught in the Lakes of Killarney by Mr Arthur Rose Vincent.
