The Life of Riley is at once a comic masterpiece and a tragic account of one man’s wilful descent into a glorious life of beggardom. Having left his job as Assistant to the Secretary of the Irish Grocers’ Association, Riley is free to spend his days and nights perfecting the art of blagging a drink at O’Turks pub, unimpeded by responsibility. A masterful portrait of the Irish at home and abroad, The Life of Riley will take you sauntering through Dublin streets and slims, London pubs and labour exchanges in the company of a vibrant cast of misfit characters.

About Us

Irish Interest in based on one very simple idea: to bring the contents of any Irish bookshop to people everywhere, especially those outside Ireland who do not have the possibility of keeping abreast of new books published in Ireland. The Irish Interest web platform is purely a provider of information about new publications. The aim of the site is to have every publishing house in Ireland adding their latest titles as they become available. Hyperlinks to each title bring users of the site directly to the publisher's web area or to a sales site where books can be purchased.
