Excellent piece by Evelyn O'Rourke @news.rte.ie thanks so much for covering this blatant and brazen theft of our work. I've had six novels scraped - 3 in English and 3 translations. Looking forward to battling the evil empire that is Meta.

Where would we be without wolfhounds?! Thank you Evelyn O'Rourke for covering this!
