There is no article for writers in the Birr area: he is a notable writer. While the books are self published, they sold well and he got good exposure locally.
Writes extensivly in the local media, through his and other papers, and published the "Sliabh Bloom" periodical every 4 months.
Has certainly done enough for Birr to be included. Maybe merge with the main Birr article?

- Slight merge to Dave Fanning per Quarl and WP:BIO. Relatives of notable people go in the notable person's article unless specifially notable themselves. Stifle 14:27, 25 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
