I had a lovely catch-up with my dear friend Joseph O’Connor. We chatted about his new novel, how even the Pope couldn’t keep covid at bay, the Blackrock College scandal, and the worst date he has ever been on.

Home sweet home 🤍

I got my first front page byline with the Irish Examiner today, although, I wish it was about a different story.

I had the pleasure of interviewing Jon last year. He was incredibly funny, but what I recall most was his ability to tell a story and draw you in from the get go.

Rest in peace. 🕊️
