## Resource

Séamas O'Reilly is an award-winning writer who shot to fame for his story of accidentally serving drinks to former president Mary McAleese while high on ketamine. He went on to pen his memoir "Did Ye Hear Mammy Died?" which netted him an Irish Book Award, and a place in the Irish annals of meme fame; after rugby icon and TV presenter, Tommy Bowe, was inadvertently light-hearted about his "ten siblings!" Séamas speaks to host Jen Hogan about the tragedy of losing his mum at the age of five, how it influences his own parenting now that he has a little boy and girl, and what it's like when your London-born son roots for the English football team. Produced by Aideen Finnegan. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
