Our Commitment to You
Irish Manuscripts Commission (IMC) is committed to providing a professional, efficient and courteous service to all our customers. In an effort to promote quality customer service, the IMC has developed the following charter which sets forth the standards of service you are entitled to expect from us.

The IMC respects the principles of equality, and the diversity of our customers, and strives to maintain a high level of professionalism in the delivery of all services.
Our Website
The IMC website (www.irishmanuscripts.ie) is one of our primary channels of communication, and it is updated regularly to reflect publications currently available for sale and other services available through our website. In addition the website provides a ‘News’ section to keep the public informed of new developments at IMC.
Publication Sales
The IMC website provides a secure online service to enable users to purchase IMC publications. A complete and up-to-date list of titles available for purchase is provided on the IMC website.
We encourage customers to use the online system. However, customers can also purchase books by visiting the IMC office at 45 Merrion Square, Dublin 2.

Our Service Delivery Promise: IMC strives to ensure that all online sales are dispatched within 3 working days of receiving an order. All orders made directly with the office shall also be dispatched within the this timeframe. If a delay is expected, the customer will be contacted via email and advised of the nature of the delay and the expected time of delivery. If you receive your book and it has been damaged in transit, please return it with proof of purchase and we will replace it.
