Congratulations to Rónán Hession, whose second novel, PANENKA has been short listed for the An Post Irish Novel of the year. There is some stiff competition from Sally Rooney and Cólm Tobain but we've got our fingers crossed.
He has also been short listed by The Libraries Association of Ireland in the author of the year awards too, which is just brilliant!
