Name:    Pól Ó Conghaile 
                     
Title: Journalist and Author

Alias(es): Pele O’Catagalie (he swears a letter came through his door with that name on it once. And he sometimes wishes he had been named John Smith).

Known associates: He would like to say Rebecca Miller, Douglas Coupland and John Banville, but there is a very important distinction between the terms “interviewed” and “associated with”. It is similar to the distinction between “journalist” and “stalker”.

Regular haunts: Central Hotel, The Globe, The Horse & Hound in Dublin.

Last sighted at: The South William, Tripod, Dublin again.

Current mission: Travel writing, radio contributor, magazine writer

Other activities: ‘That’s My Baby’, a delightful take on fatherhood. ‘Bar Secrets Dublin’, a delightful take on the bar secrets of Dublin. ‘Low Hanging Fruit’, a delightful sketch series (more of which anon, hopefully). Plus El Diablo, a delightful Alt Country music band.
