Frank McNally

For more than 25 years as an Irish Times columnist (first with The Last Straw, then An Irishman’s Diary) Frank McNally has been chronicling the foibles of his fellow countrymen and women. In Not Making Hay, he looks inwards in a memoir that covers his journey from Carrickmacross farm boy, through the Civil Service, precarious years as a freelancer and the perils of the Dublin newspaper world (including dicing with deadlines and a job interview with the fearsome Vincent Browne). Frank will be in conversation with Eileen Dunne.
