    "Radio Radio" by Peter Mulryan is all about the history of pirate radio in Ireland (well, mostly in Dublin) and is a great read and while the focus of the book is on those early innovative pirates of the 70s and 80s it does say a lot about the state of Irish radio back then and the promise of what it should have become, but didn't.

    The book has been out of print for many years and its very hard to find it now.
