I see there are two big pieces of literary work coming out for the Ploughing. Former RTÉ stalwart Valerie Cox has penned a book on the history of the great event since the 1930s, while the driving force behind it, Anna May McHugh, is putting the finishing touches to her autobiography. It’s written with the assistance of Alison Healy, formerly of this parish and The Irish Times.

I’m waiting for the day to write my book.
