Dublin Book Festival is one of Ireland’s most successful and dynamic book festivals, running since June 2006 in the heart of Ireland’s capital with its rich literary history. ​dlr Libraries are pleased to partner and host three events showcasing some of the best writing Ireland has to offer.

Rough Beast (Apollo) is Máiría Cahill‘s harrowing story, told here for the first time in full detail and with unsparing honesty. It is a story of unimaginable trauma and political corruption, but above all it is the story of one young woman’s defiance of those wielding power to inspire fear and silence, and their influence over elected politicians.

Join Máiría in conversation with journalist and writer Olivia O’Leary in the Studio, dlr LexIcon, Dún Laoghaire

This event is now BOOKED OUT, more details from Dublin Book Festival
