A few years in the making but coming in mid September from @eriu_books, my life of the former Taoiseach, Brian Cowen. From Clara to the Troika, from the GAA to the bank guarantee, and much else besides. It can be pre ordered from these fine establishments geni.us/BrianCowen

Sharing some pretty august company on the bookshelf at Dubray books with my fellow Corkonian Simon Zebo, Max Hastings, Patrick Radden Keefe and @simonmontefiore. And over at Hodges Figgis, swoon, I even get my own stand.

Oh cool, next week you can go to Paddy Cosgrave's communist cafe to hear about a "revolt against capitalist rentierism", and then a few weeks after you can go celebrate Big Tech at Paddy Cosgrave's conference where tickets cost a lot, and he uses mass volunteer labour. Cool!

“When did you realise that we had completely lost the run of ourselves as a nation, grandad?”
“Well, child, just before the big 2027 crash the Irish government used our money to pay for a nationwide campaign which ….. hang on… I’ll show you….”

I've donated a copy of the 25th anniversary edition of Cirque Du Freak to this year's Children In Read, which is raising funds for the BBC Children In Need Appeal.
I will sign, date and dedicate, and cover shipping to anywhere in the world.

The paedophile George Gibney has been sentenced to 15 years and six months in jail. Johnny Watterson kickstarted the process of bringing him to justice over 30 years ago. This is a long read and a brilliant read.

Those last 18 seconds. Mayo had one hand on Sam, but after all we'd been through, who dared believe it was over?
A short extract from my new book, I Can See It Still. Mayo football, all those years. And then 2026.

An announcement. There will be plenty of time to reflect on what we've achieved, and on the fantastic colleagues who have helped us achieve it. But for now, sad news ukandeu.ac.uk/announcement/s… 1/2

I can’t believe that Jeffrey Archer - who was always so alive - is suddenly dead. We had a wonderful day together yesterday - as anyone who was there will tell you, he was in brilliant form on stage yesterday celebrating the publication of his 50th and final best-selling novel.
