    About this ebook

    Ever lose the head when the country grinds to a halt after two centimetres of snow?

    Do the parish-pump politicians, perennially pathetic health services and practically useless road signs drive you to drink?

    Are all these and a million other maddening quirks of Irish society sapping your will to live?

    In the Name of Jaysus is a hilarious rant about all things exasperating, irritating and downright infuriating in Ireland today. If you’re Irish – or if you just live here and have to endure our traditional manner of doing things arseways – then, in the name of Jaysus, this is the book for you!
