Assuming it's a printed book, you MUST send a copy to the British Library. There are 5 other libraries which are entitled to ask you for a copy within a year of publication, but it's for them to ask - you don't have to send them a copy unless they request one from you.

Yes, Trinity College, Dublin, is a strange one, isn't it! I suspect it's a historical arrangement, dating back to before the independence of the Irish Republic.
