Gene Kerrigan

Gene Kerrigan

Gene Kerrigan is an Irish writer who grew up in Cabra in Dublin. He has been writing political journalism in Ireland since the 1970s in such publications as Magill magazine and the Sunday Independent newspaper.

He was chosen as Journalist of the Year in 1985 and 1990, and has written books including fiction and non-fiction.

Mr. Kerrigan's journalism is hard-boiled and revealing, and he observes the goings-on and pretensions of those who wield political and financial power with a caustic eye, often with a weary and mordant humour.
