PADDY

Do we ever know what s really going on in someone s head?

Based on true events and set in the early 2000s, Paddy is a story about a young man from The Liberties in Dublin suffering with poor mental health, who travels to Amsterdam with his drug-dealing best friend and his anti-drugs activist brother.

The consequences of the journey are life-changing for them all.

The Liberties Trilogy is a series of stories about the values of characters who grew up in the heart of inner-city Dublin in the 1980s against the backdrop of high unemployment, a heroin epidemic, political corruption, an over-influential church, the Troubles and HIV/AIDS crisis.

PRAISE FOR PADDY:

Paddy is a remarkable insight into the social narrative of the time, charmingly walking the double-edged sword of great personal conflict and the Irish sense of humour. my sister-in-law

If this book had been written in the eighties, it would have been banned. my friend

Every parent should read this. - my sister

A whirlwind of emotions. - my other sister

It s very raunchy, Christopher. my 78-year-old aunt

It made me cry. my other half
