Description
Household name Derek Davis presents here a collection of his popular RTE radio broadcasts.
Never complacent and always questioning, they describe a changing society and its changing concerns: the treatment of the elderly, the shirking of duties and opportunities by those in public office at home and abroad, the tribulations of the Irish motorist and the troubles - both north and south of the border.
Derek speaks about topics he knows well and feels strongly about. His passion and joie de vivre, as well as his distinctive voice and turn of phrase, are all retained from the original transcripts.
Perfect for those who've listened to and enjoyed the radio columns, and also those who haven't had the opportunity.
