Just an evening?

This promises to be interesting.

No man in Ireland divides opinion like him, but there’s no doubting that Roy Keane remains one of the most interesting characters in Irish public life today.

You won’t always agree with what he has to say, but boring platitudes are not his style and there is likely to be plenty of interest in a special event with the Ireland assistant manager later this month.

On Thursday, June 25, Keane will conduct an exclusive interview with Today FM’s Matt Cooper live in the Olympia Theatre in the first of a series of Barretstown Talks, featuring in-depth conversations with leading figures from the world of sport, culture and business.
