Description
Tommie Gorman's life has been marked by struggle and love in equal measure. Growing up in Sligo in the 1960s, he heard his father say 'Money is handy for doing messages', a phrase that would shape Tommie's own journey as a journalist.
Over forty years, Tommie covered some of Ireland's most significant stories, from Europe and Northern Ireland to domestic politics. He interviewed many notable figures, including Gerry Adams, Roy Keane, Ian Paisley and Arlene Foster. Yet, he also knew the value of love and warmth in his own life, as he coped with a cancer diagnosis and sought ways to access life-saving treatments.
In this insightful book, Tommie takes readers behind the scenes of his remarkable career, sharing memories from Sligo to Stormont, via Brussels and Sweden. He reflects on Ireland's history and looks ahead to its future, offering a unique perspective on forty extraordinary years of Irish history.
