Coming up on today’s Moncrieff Show, Seán will once again be rummaging through the Stationery Cupboard with Barbara Feeney.

This week, Barbara will be taking a preamble down memory lane, talking protractors and project folders, taking a look at the stationery of one’s youth. Along the way she’ll be exploring stationery’s indelible link to the schoolbag, examining the contents of every pupil’s pencil case and finding out what is the must-have item cluttering classrooms in primary schools today.
