Über diesen Titel

At a packed Oak Room in the Mansion House, a celebration of the life of the journalist Con Houlihan last Saturday brought the audience on a journey into the work and passions of one of Ireland's most beloved scribes. Born in Castle Island (two words, he insisted) in 1925, Con became the heart of the Evening Press newspaper on Dublin's Burgh Quay. His love for his native Kerry, sport, literature, the theatre, St Patrick's Athletic, the public houses of Dublin and more besides are all explored here. One of Ireland's great actors of the stage, Brendan Conroy reads march reports and other pieces from Con, while the journalist, writer and friend of Con, Roy Curtis, held the attention of the room throughout with his beautiful memories of a man who influenced him greatly. Recorded at the Dublin Festival of History.
