    I'm looking for a book for my grandad for christmas. The Life and Times of Jim Branigan by Bernard Neary.
    (Neary, B. (1985). Lugs: The Life and Times of Jim Branigan. Dublin: Lenhar Publications.)

    My grandad owned the book previously but lent it to somebody who never returned it :(
    I know that it is now out of print so I would be most grateful for any information on how to get a copy.
    Thanks:)

    From a quick search, it doesn't look like you can purchase the book anywhere online.

    I'd suggest ringing up a few second hand bookshops in Dublin to see if they have it:

    Chapters on Parnell St.

    Naughton Booksellers in Dun Laoghaire.

    Cathach Books on Duke St.

    The Winding Stair Bookshop on Lower Ormond Quay.

    My grandad is 78 so he'd remember Jim Branigan we all like to to read about times past especially older generations as times have changed so much.
    And also just to have the book as I say he let someone borrow it and it was never returned.

    because he knew how to deal with scumbags by talking to them in a language they understood.
    If there were more cops like him around or that guy who ran amok at the reclaim the streets march.,people might have less contempt for gardai
