JFK in Ireland: Four Days That Changed a President[2][3] is the title of the first book written by Irish broadcaster Ryan Tubridy. Released in the UK in 2010, and by Lyons Press in the US in 2011, it is a profile of President of the United States John F. Kennedy's 1963 visit to Ireland.
A spokesperson for Eason & Son was reported to have called it "one of the most highly anticipated literary events of the year".[4] Tubridy was exempted from paying income tax on his work, leading to criticism from politicians and the media.[5][6] The broadcaster said he would send copies of the book to both the Kennedy family and the White House.[7] The book contains photographs of Kennedy's visit.[3]
A documentary, JFK: A Homecoming, by Ryan Tubridy was broadcast on RTÉ One prior to the book's release.[8][9] Bernice Harrison, reviewing the week's television in The Irish Times, commented: "The timing of this history documentary – not the usual bank-holiday viewing, not an anniversary of the visit, no new revelations – was peculiar until you noted that RTÉ's star presenter has a book coming out this week about the JFK visit. Nice publicity if you can get it".[10]
