A superb new book by Dr Martin O’Grady, Senior Research Officer with the Central Fisheries Board, has been published and it will appeal to anyone with even a remote interest in Irish Brown Trout.
The book has a distinct charm, and, aside from the informative text, the aerial photographs, other images, and excellent [...]

As a working science journalist in Ireland, it always amazes me how little we celebrate – and I include myself in this group – or even know anything about, some of our most famous, and accomplished scientists.

I might have missed Donal Skehan in last year’s Eurosong Finals but I have been following and enjoying his food blog for the last couple of years. Skehan, who juggles his music career (he’s a member of pop group Industry) with food writing, has just produced his first cookbook, Good [...]
