Damien O’Reilly of RTÉ Countrywide fame launched his book in the highly salubrious surroundings of Copper Face Jacks on Dublin’s Harcourt Street last week.

The broadcaster published a book on his best pieces of writing from his weekly column in Irish Country Living which, as we all know, is published with the Irish Farmers Journal.

The great and the good from RTÉ and the Irish Farmers Journal attended. RTÉ’s Marty Morrissey was master of ceremonies.

Countrywide by Damien O’Reilly is in all good book stores now. And a few of the bad ones too.
