Student hack (belatedly) bites back!
I can’t help noticing that Eoin Butler has billed this piece as some sort of revenge or competition between myself and himself with his title “Student hack bites back”. I am saying from the outset that I have no intention of “biting back.”
Looking back now, I wish I had chosen to interview someone a bit safer than Eoin for this article. The bottom line is that I thought Mongrel was a hilarious magazine and decided it would be cool to interview one of their writers for this assignment I had.
Student hack bites back!
If there’s one thing this blog is fond of doing, it’s recycling old material. And the hardiest of hardy perennials in that respect is this wildly inaccurate perhaps-not-entirely-definitive profile of me written, in 2005, by a young student journalist from DCU.

The interview really did take place. However, I dunno whether the guy’s Dictaphone malfunctioned, or if he suffered some sort of acid flashback during the transcription process, but none of the quotations attributed to me are remotely accurate.

“SINCE THEN EOIN’S LIFE HAS SPIRALLED INTO A HAZE OF HILARITY AND ADVENTURE…”
Just stumbled across this preposterously flattering, wildly inaccurate profile of me that a DCU student paper did in December 2005. To be honest, I had almost forgotten it ever existed. The interview really did take place. However, I dunno whether the guy’s Dictaphone malfunctioned, or he suffered an acid flashback during the transcription process, but none of the quotations attributed to me are even remotely accurate.
