Paul Howard follows his much loved Ross O'Carroll Kelly series of books with a new satire focusing on plans for a united Ireland.

In A Nation Once Again, world-weary diplomat Fiach O'Bric is asked to head up a clandestine unit in the Department of Foreign Affairs that is tasked with resolving the finer details of reunification of Ireland, such as deciding if Dublin should remain the capital and who should compose a new national anthem.

Paul chats to Matt about the book and the many bureaucratic hurdles that would have to be overcome to unite Ireland.
