This prize, which is worth €5,000, is awarded to the best collection by an Irish poet who is deemed to be mid-career (i.e. who has published more than two collections). My collection The State of the Prisons (2005) was a co-winner of the prize, alongside Kerry Hardie's collection, The Sky Didn't Fall (2005).
