Brexit represents potentially the single greatest economic and foreign-policy challenge to the Irish state since the Second World War. There is hardly any area of Irish life that won't be affected.
More than any other journalist, RTE's long-time Brussels correspondent Tony Connelly has been helping the public make sense of the implications of Brexit for Ireland. Now, he tells the dramatic inside story of the Irish response to this political and economic earthquake and lays out the agenda for the uncertain years ahead.
Based on extensive interviews with insiders in Dublin, London, Belfast and Brussels, Brexit and Ireland is full of insights about how the EU actually works, and of colorful and revealing stories from the corridors of power. It is a must-read for anyone who cares about Ireland's future.

Brexit and Ireland: The Dangers, the Opportunities, and the Inside Story of the Irish Response

Penguin Ireland

This is a Brysonesque journey through European stereotypes, written by RTE's high-profile European correspondent, Tony Connelly. It is an amusing, topical, witty, and fascinating look at Europe and Europeans. Connelly goes on a quest to discover the origins and veracity behind the stereotypes that each European nation has inherited. In Austria, Connelly attends a ball in the Hofberg Palace where he is struck by the terrible nostalgia for a lost empire. In France, the history of the baguette makes an appearance alongside Connelly's search for the ultimate in rude waiters. In Italy he attends a 100th birthday party to explore the stereotype of Mamma and 'the Family.' While presented with humor and a lightness of touch, this thoroughly-researched book asks searching questions: Where have our notions of stereotypical behavior come from? And, do they have any bearing on the modern-day Europeans?

Connelly does a brilliant job skewering the lies and truths of European stereotypes. From the bailouts to the Euro-crisis, from the rise of Frau Merkel to the dalliances of the French presidents, a lot has happened in the nearly five years since Tony Connelly published the first edition of Don't Mention the Wars to great acclaim, and in this new revised and updated edition, Connelly revisits every chapter and explores the news and the rich parade of events which have happened in that time.
