I really enjoyed reading from Gardening Leave at Circling The Square Festival in Thurles. A wonderful festival in memory of Dennis O'Driscoll.
GARDENING LEAVE will feature on RTE Radio 1's Poetry People on Sunday October 25th. I will be interviewed by presenter Rachel Hegarty and read from the collection.
Solidarity with all Public Service Workers who will go on strike tomorrow. All trade unions including my own - UNITE - have received an overwhelming endorsement for strike action by their members. Ignore the "impact of all this" narrative and focus on WHY a strike is necessary.
Good to see ICTU rejecting these twelfth hour offer of talks at the WRC. The Government have had a long time to make a serious offer to public sector workers and have failed to do so. Watch out for plenty of spin on how strikes are bad for everyone...
As we head into a legitimate Public Service Strike this week, we see the usual media narrative on the "impact" of the strike rather than a detailed focus on WHY a strike is necessary. Workers do not go on strike unless there is good reason to. ✊

After 37 great years, I am handing in my badge as Professor of Cultural Sociology at UL today. It's been a privilege to teach, research and write on things that I am passionate about. I will miss teaching most of all. Thanks to my many students, colleagues and friends at UL.
GARDENING LEAVE on Tour. This weekend it was the Write By The Sea Festival in the beautiful Kilmore Quay. Lovely to read alongside Jane Clark and Myra Donaldson. Next Stop... Thurles on October 18th.

It sounds like a joke. It is far from it!
Our local school, Corpus Christi, has gone completely above and beyond — well outside its teaching role — and stepped in to do the job the Government should be doing: housing homeless families in our accommodation. With no supports.

“31-years old today … and I am still most proud … even if, in the totally predictable world of total predictability, it was largely disregarded by radio and reviewers. But weren’t they all? God forbid a real human voice might ever be heard. I had reluctant hope of ‘Do Your Best And Don’t Worry’ becoming a global hit. I believe it had one radio play… in Guam… at midnight.
Southpaw Grammar was licensed to BMG (London) many years ago, but there’s still no sign of it being made available to the public; trapped like a trap in a traps’ trap. There is another world, there is a better world … well there must be”.
