Ross O'Carroll-Kelly's last night in Kiely's

One of the most important places in the character Ross O’Carroll-Kelly’s life is the Donnybrook pub Kiely’s – it’s so special to him that his creator, author Paul Howard, makes sure to mention it multiple times in each book. So it was only fitting that in order to mark the closing of Kielys, which is up for sale, Howard would hold the launch of his latest Ross book, Dancing With the Tsars, there. TheJournal.ie was at the event to interview Howard about all things Ross O’Carroll-Kelly, and along with us were over 100 of our readers and ROCK fans. After our chat, Howard was thanked by Mary Cremin, Kiely’s co-owner along with her husband Pat, for his support over the years. Howard explained that Kiely’s was not just dear to him personally, but it also played a pivotal role in the formation of the Ross character and his own early columns for the Sunday Tribune http://jrnl.ie/4236802 TheJournal.ie is an Irish news website that invites its users to shape the news agenda.
