Reeling in the Queers by Praic Kerrigan

Reeling in the Queers by Praic Kerrigan

Amidst the moments of seismic change in LGBTQ history in Ireland lie the stories of ordinary people, who did extraordinary things to change queer Ireland and Irish culture.

‘Kerrigan’s prose is a medium to share and promote these moving storiesIt… functions efficiently to draw a tender portrait of the quiet heroes, and acts of everyday heroism, that served to advance the rights and dignity of queer Ireland.’

-- Brigid O'Dea * Irish Times *

‘All of the fourteen chapters in the book tell a wonderful story of what can be achieved when we become agents of change, when we inspire and create a culture that embraces diversity and acceptance. This book is for us all.’

-- Bríd Conroy * Mayolive.ie *

‘Ultimately, this book is a fascinating, heart-breaking, joyful celebration of Ireland's long and storied queer history.’

-- Sinann Fetherston * RTE.ie *

Reeling in the Queers by Páraic Kerrigan is a timely take that will ensure many of the heroes in the long battle for rights do not fade into history.

-- Tonie Walsh * Irish Independent *
