"Setting off from Ireland, Pete McCarthy takes us on a journey around the weird and wonderful Irish communities of the world."
"AHunting for mythical tales of his own clan history and pursuing far-flung Irish connections to their illogical conclusions, Pete McCarthy is thrust into a world-wide adventure, unearthing a good print in the most unexpected locations along the way. From the Holy Ground of Cork harbour via the Fried Breakfast Zone of Belfast airport, he travels to Gibraltar and Morocco, searching for his hereditary Gaelic chief in the casbah of Tangier. He survives worrying confrontations with ornamental monkeys, and en endangered species of goose, and a bar full of drunken Glasgwegian Celtic supporters."@en
"Setting off from Ireland, Pete McCarthy takes us on a wonderful journey around the weird and wonderful Irish communities of the world. In his own inimitable style, Pete recounts his adventures and escapades as, in Morocco he meets the head of Clan McCarthy, and then goes on to visit the renowned Irish peoples of New York. He journeys to the southern hemisphere and then back again to the United States before ending up in a small town called McCarthy in Alaska. Will he encounter enough McCarthy's Bars, as he continues to obey the eighth rule of travel: 'never pass a pub with your name on it'? This is a funny, affectionate look at the Irish communties of the world."
