About this event

What makes something quintessentially Irish? And what do the words we use, the stories we tell and the cultural moments we remember reveal about us? Join Colm O’Regan and Páraic Kerrigan for a warm and witty conversation inspired by their new books.

Join Colm O’Regan and Páraic Kerrigan for a warm, witty and wonderfully Irish conversation inspired by their new books. In Tipping Away, Colm turns his attention to Hiberno-English, exploring the words and expressions that have evolved through our workplaces, homes, pubs, communities and everyday lives. In Pop Culchie, Páraic delves into the oddities and eccentricities of Irish popular culture. In conversation with arts journalist Pat Carty, they uncover the humour, quirks and contradictions that make Irish culture so distinctive.
