Some distorted images, taken on my 'phone from the screen, of Cait on Irish tv tonight.







I only made notes about the discussion of my cousin's book.
Hugh Linehan was ' unconvinced' by Orfhlaith, Cait O'Riordan found her stories ' frustrating....bitty....all surface...scraps all bundled together' but accepted John Kelly's comment that she doesn't like short stories . Declan Long was full of praise, describing O. as a 'forensic scientist of touch' and referred to the stories many locations and themes as a 'genre collision'. O. read from ' Fairy Tales'.

It should all be viewable on the shows site.
