dlr Libraries were pleased to partner with Dublin Book Festival and host three events showcasing some of the best writing Ireland has to offer. Join Máiría Cahill in conversation with journalist and writer Olivia O'Leary. 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. Please note that this podcast contains strong language and sensitive content.
