Irish Eye

This is a collection of stories written by Derek Barry, a Waterford-born journalist now based in Queensland, Australia. This is my love letter to the part of the world where I was born. It features 23 stories all based in Waterford and the south east of Ireland including chapters on Kilkenny, Clonmel and the Waterford Greenway as well as stories about authors like Raymond Chandler and Lafcadio Hearn who have links to the region.

The book is informally divided into two parts. The first nine chapters contain long-form stories and the remaining chapters are photoblogs each photos and accompanying shorter stories.
