The incomparable, irredeemable Ross O'Carroll-Kelly gives the ultimate low-down on the centre of the universe, South Dublin. Nestled in between the badlands of north and west Dublin, and the boglands of Wicklow, is a land of untold beauty and wealth, which boasts more yacht clubs per head of population than Monte Carlo, where girls talk like Californians, where rugby is the number one religion and where it’s possible to buy a Cappuccino - at Champs Elyseé prices.
It is a land rich in diversity, where barristers live side-by-side with doctors and dentists, the birthplace of Bob Geldof, the home of Brian O’Driscoll and the site of Dublin’s two great third level institutions – UCD and DBS. The Ross Guide to South Dublin contains all you need to know about this extraordinary region, where it’ll be soon be too expensive for anyone to live.
Though he is a total rugby legend and has fockloads of cash, Ross O'Carroll-Kelly remains a man of the people - if the people are basically birds with great top-tens and drop-dead focking gorgeous. In other words, he is a fine example of the best a South Dublin man can be - and the perfect guide to its attractions.
