By his own admission, Ian Bailey is feeling groggy. “It’s been a long year, I suppose. A lot has happened,” remarks the 64-year-old, as he stirs his coffee following late breakfast in a local tavern in Glengarriff, Co Cork.

“Maybe that’s an understatement,” he smiles ruefully. “I’m regrouping. It’s been a tough year, without a doubt. But in creative terms, I’m feeling inspired.”
