Does anyone know why the #Silo books Wool / Dust / Sand by Hugh Towey are not available on @audible_com Ireland? I’m absolutely loving the show on Apple TV and want to read the books now.

I had the pleasure to photograph and watch Gearóid Ó Cairealláin act in many plays over the years. He simply dedicated his entire life to his love of the Irish Language and he has left a wonderful legacy of art and educational institutions behind him. My deepest condolences to his family
