This week Ro\xeds\xedn meets radio presenter and Newstalk author Se\xe1n Moncrieff, whose new book The Irish Paradox looks at the nature of Irishness. The paradox, he says, is that we can hold two contradictory views simultaneously and believe both of them. \n\nSean tells Ro\xeds\xedn about his transplantation from England to Ireland at the age of 12 and how that might put him in the right place to examine Irishness. He also explains why Ireland must be the worst country on earth to conduct an extramarital affair. \n\nThe Irish Paradox: How and Why We are Such a Contradictory People is published by Gill and Macmillan.
