GERRY ADAMS: Here's your book list sorted ahead of the summer

I THOUGHT it would be a good idea to dedicate an occasional column to books. We can return to Brexit, the Protocol and other such matters at another time.  They are political books, which may not surprise any of you. I am also conscious that these three are written by men. So lest I give you the wrong impression, let me make it clear that my reading activity is not limited to political books or to male authors. I binge-read, so Sebastian Barry’s ‘The Sacred Scripture’, and Billy Connolly’s ‘Windswept and Interesting’ are also on the go along with Sylvie Simmons ‘I’m Your Man’ about Leonard Cohen. I dip in and out of them when I get the chance. I also prefer real books to Kindle or other electronic models. Richard is a Kindle man. But a book is a book and for me there is no substitute. I am also always taken by a nicely presented tome. Imelda May’s ‘A Lick And A Promise’ is a great example of that. And her poetry is wonderful. I wholeheartedly recommend A Lick And A Promise.

Shoebox king: rise and fall of unlikely property tycoon


To some he was the 'shoebox king', to others 'an enigma wrapped up in a puzzle', but in reality his spectacular downfall in the summer of 2009 heralded the demise of the Celtic Tiger and the seven years of austerity that followed the reckless developer/banker-led economic crash.
Liam Carroll, who has died at the age of 70, went from being a billionaire builder and property developer to being massively in debt within the space of a few short weeks that August, and the billions owed by the unassuming businessman contributed to the catastrophic economic disaster that engulfed the country.
He was also an unlikely tycoon. While other developers bought stately homes and travelled to glitzy social and sporting events by helicopter, Carroll lived in a suburban home in Mount Merrion, Dublin and followed League of Ireland football. He drove a battered old red Toyota and went to evening mass in the nearby St Therese's Church on a Sunday, followed by a single pint of Smithwicks in Kiely's pub which he consumed in splendid isolation.
