Enniscorthy-born Colm Toibin is one of Ireland's most respected writers.

His new novel, House Of Names, is set in Ancient Greece at the beginning of the Trojan War.

He spoke to Matt about retelling a Greek tragedy, why the novel will appeal to a modern-day audience, his experiences of talking to the survivors of the Kingsmill massacre in Northern Ireland and how they influenced his writing.
