A Nation Once Again – Paul Howard in Conversation with Ryan Tubridy, Friday 9th October, 8:00pm, Nenagh Arts Centre, Banba Square, Tipperary E45 CD52, €25
There’s only one idea more foolish than dividing Ireland – and that’s trying to put it back together again. Join writer Paul Howard who will discuss his hilarious new novel A Nation Once Again with Ryan Tubridy.
Running the Department with Responsibility for Making Arrangements for the Unification of Ireland, an outfit quietly failing since 1958, Fiach finds himself managing a team of oddballs, timeservers, and a die-hard nationalist from Dundalk. And he spends his days refereeing rows about everything everyone has failed to agree on for about 800 years . . . . . .
