My name is Ian Kenneth Bailey . I am Anglo Welsh and was born in Manchester on a stormy night in 1957. I entered journalism in the town of Gloucester, England, after leaving the Crypt Grammar School. I trained with a freelance agency before going onto launch my own freelance operation out of Cheltenham where I acted as a correspondent for local, regional and national newspapers, radio and television. I was a special correspondent for a number of Fleet Street titles and an occasional members of the Sunday Times investigative unit Insight. I moved to Ireland from London in 1991 where I continued to write as a freelance news man and also as a poet. In 2007 I went up to University College Cork and came back down to West Cork in 2012 with 3 degrees in law, a BCL(Hons). an LLB and an LLM.
