BALLPOINT PRESS LIMITED

Ballpoint Press Limited is an independent Irish publishing house dedicated to bringing the stories that shape our national identity to a wider audience. Specialising in culturally‑rich non‑fiction, the company curates and edits collections that celebrate the heart of the GAA, rural life and historic milestones such as the Rural Electrification scheme. Recent titles include *Grassroots: The Second Half*, a 400‑page anthology of GAA folklore featuring contributions from former rugby international Ollie Campbell and snooker champion Ken Doherty, and *Then There Was Light*, a commemorative volume of fifty personal recollections of Ireland’s journey from darkness to electricity.

Beyond the GAA, Ballpoint Press releases works like *A Fly Never Lit* and *Around the Farm Gate*, each offering a vivid snapshot of mid‑twentieth‑century rural Ireland. By collaborating with notable figures—including GAA President Larry McCarthy and Croke Park—the press ensures that previously unpublished tales reach readers nationwide, positioning itself as a trusted source for authentic Irish storytelling.
