@JohnMaryKeane @mackeys_bar It originally belonged to the Holland family, Seán. Members of that same family still live in the local area.

Does anyone recognise this house part of a substantial collection of derelict houses and outhouses on Cullahill Mountain on the Gathabawn Loop @mackeys_bar @orlamackey

Mouthing by @orlamackey is Irish story telling at its very best! Well worth a read.

@NolanDom @MattNixson @NicolaBarr123 Stop 🖐🏻That's so nice to hear. Honoured 😊

@orlamackey @MattNixson @NicolaBarr123 I love it. It has never made it to a shelf as it sits by my desk so I can pick at it, reading little bits of those amazing voices here and there.

The Daily Express books of the year feature from @MattNixson continues in print tomorrow, and includes my picks - THE HORSE by Willy Vlautin and MOUTHING by @orlamackey. Link in post below ⬇️

@NoelHowley 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@orlamackey Any book with a line like this will get my vote. The most Kilkenny line I’ve ever seen in a novel. Brilliant.

Just finished this brilliant debut novel by @orlamackey multi-voiced multi points of view. A new voice in Irish writing.

@NoelHowley @butlergallery Thanks a million, Noel. I really enjoyed hearing your poetry 📚

Really enjoyed reading my poetry yesterday @butlergallery and listening to @orlamackey talk about and read from her debut novel Mouthing. I’m really looking forward to reading it.

@HelenConvey @ShelfSiobhan Thanks so much @HelenConvey and @ShelfSiobhan. Always grateful to know that someone has enjoyed #Mouthing 🙏🏻❤️

Delighted to be taking part in this year's @DublinBookFest, talking with Anna Fitzgerald, @orlamackey and Alan Murrin about their debut novels on November 8 @The_New_Theatre. Full details through the link. #DBF24 @PenguinIEBooks @BloomsburyBooks dublinbookfestival.com/event/debut-no…

@briankirkwriter @IrishWritersCtr Thanks a million, Brian. Really appreciate that 🙏🏻

Just finished reading Mouthing by @orlamackey another @IrishWritersCtr Novel Fair winner from 2022. It's a darkly comic novel which features a polyphony of engaging voices from a small town where everyone knows everyone else's business and is not afraid to share it. Recommended!

I’ve just finished this and it’s wonderful. A book full of heart. 👏 👏 @orlamackey “tomorrow will be lovely”.

@OSullyj79 Thanks so much, June. Delighted you enjoyed it. Always really grateful for feedback like this ❤️🙏🏻

@oneflawediris So sorry to hear this, Olivia ❤️

My lovely Mum Lottie died yesterday morning. She had a rare debilitating condition called Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP). Heartfelt thanks to all my friends who have been there for me during her illness. Details of her funeral are here: rip.ie/death-notice/c…
