Date: September 24, 2020 - Fit to Print?

A COPY of UCD’s 2020-2021 Alumni magazine recently accompanied each edition of the Irish Times – 50% owners of Gloss Publications, publishers of Alumni – and its 106 pages of good news about various post-graduates should have been the platform for much self-congratulation.

WITH SCREEN Ireland splashing more ‘development’ cash on another tranche of Covid-dependent producers, following its earlier ‘strategic slate development’ effort, it turns out that the board remains little over 50% full, six months after three members’ terms expired back in March.

AFTER THE SILENCE- LOUISE O’NEILL (RIVERRUN)

Date: September 24, 2020 - BooksReviews

ALTHOUGH promoted as a “twisty page-turner” murder mystery, Louise O’Neill’s much-publicised book is steeped in zeitgeist and dominated by disturbing power struggles within abusive relationships. Having written successfully about these issues since her 2014 debut, Only Ever Yours, the author has now been inspired by the murder of Sophie Toscan du Plantier and its controversial… Read more »
