The launch began with a few words from Professor Lyons' publisher from Atlantic Books. Eoin McGee, broadcaster and bestselling author, then spoke about his friendship with Lyons and his praise for the book itself.
Professor Ronan Lyons then took to the podium and thanked his publisher, colleagues at the Department of Economics and his family for their continued support. He expressed hope that the book would reach the right hands and offer plausible solutions for Ireland's biggest challenge over the last fifteen years.
Brittle: How Ireland Built a Housing Crisis and How To Fix It is published this month by Atlantic Books and is available in all good bookshops.
