Tony McCullagh

Tony McCullagh has been a journalist for over 15 years and is Group Managing Editor of the Dublin People Group of Newspapers, publishers of The Northside People and The Southside People. He has previously written for the Irish Independent and Sunday World and has contributed to the Dublin radio station News Talk 106.

Together with Elaine Moore, Tony wrote Danger to Society – Elaine Moore’s Story for Merlin Publishing. With exclusive extracts from Elaine's prison diaries, as well as interviews with those involved in her campaign, this is the first ever full account of her notorious case.

In 2001, Tony, along with journalist Neil Fetherstonhaugh, wrote about the Stardust tragedy in They Never Came Home - The Stardust Story. Tony lived in Baldoyle at the time of the fire. This is just one of the reasons why he decided to write a book on the tragedy. The author said that he had been following the stories of the Stardust victims and families for many years and as someone who lived close to the area, their stories struck a cord, and in research for the book the survivors really opened their hearts.

Neil Fetherstonhaugh is co-author of They Never Came Home: The Stardust Story with Tony McCullagh.
