the questions you haven’t even thought of

about the business of books – from

and media. Panel members include Ruth
Hegarty –publisher with the RIA, Patsy
Horton –publisher with Blackstaff Press,
journalist Freya McClements, and

announced.

The Voyage Of The Dolphin
It is Dublin in the spring of 1916: while war
rages across Europe and rebellion threatens
the Irish capital, three young College friends
embark on a foolhardy seafaring mission to
find the lost skeleton of an Irish giant. With
mishaps, mischief, and a little romance,
their voyage is a hilarious odyssey round
the edges of history and into a curious
adventure that will change their lives
forever.
