The current 'NI Media Awards Columnist of the Year, ' the Tyrone scribe's weekly column 'Ronan's Rant' has gained a huge following. 'Ronan's Rants' as well as being satirical and provocative are able to weave the small details of growing up in the 1960's and '70's Northern Ireland through to 2012, into the bigger national and international issues of the day.

Here are a few of the topics on Ronan's radar: * The Church * GAA * The Troubles * Maggie Thatcher * Irish Hellraisers including Brendan Behan & George Best * England's glorious World Cup failures * Facebook * Crazy teachers * Irish In America "I always said Ronan should be a writer. Isn't that right Ronan, didn't I always say 'you should be a writer?'" - Nuala McSherry (Ronan's mother) "I have known Ronan for many years, I'm very happy this form of therapy is working for him" - Comedian Jake O'Kane
