It is the Easter weekend of 1949, the date of the declaration of the Irish Republic, but in the city of 'Ballycastle', Martin Melody, the pub-crawling university student, and his disreputable friends are too busy drinking and lusting after girls to pay much attention to this political development. O hEithir, drawing upon rich personal experiences of life in the west of Ireland, paints a rackety picture using sniffy landladies, crackpot academics, hectoring clergymen, dolled-up virgins, and dockside down-and-outs, among other hilarious characters.

He died in 1990.
