Life of Reilly

About the Book

Ever since the inaugural Life of Reilly column appeared in the Drogheda Independent's Drogheda Weekend Extra (now the Drogheda Weekend) on 31 January 2003, life has changed utterly in 'Drawda'.

A lifetime resident, local historian and author Tom Reilly has created a veritable institution with his weekly satirical columns.

Reilly insists that his sideways view of the world proves that everybody in the town is completely screwed up, not just him.

"The man's a fool." - Cllr Paul Bell

This selection of over 100 previously published columns has been carefully chosen for inclusion in this book to mark Life of Reilly's three-year anniversary. It includes all the classics, some of which you may have missed. They'll make you laugh, cry, and if you're a borough councillor they'll make you very very mad.

"Reilly's a dead man." - Frank Godfrey

Every single cent that is made on this book will go to charity.
