To coincide with the launch, Philomena Lynott will conduct two book signings this weekend.

She will be in Eason's in O'Connell Street on Saturday March 12 at 1pm.

And she will conduct a second signing in Hughes and Hughes in Stephen's Green Shopping Centre on Sunday March 13 at 2pm. The Philip Lynott Exhibition is currently running in Stephen's Green Shopping Centre.

The book also tells, for the first time, the story Philip Lynott's lost brother and sister – a remarkable and deeply moving story which readers will find both astonishing and wonderfully inspiring.

My Boy is in all good bookshops now.
