Austin Berry, the former Mayor of Athlone, published his autobiography with the evocative title ‘Stepping Back In Time’ in May 2012. Eight decades living in the rural and urban midlands, encompassing many years in the army, award-winning music playing and a career in politics, is now documented in ‘Stepping Back in Time’. The book is the culmination of Austin Berry’s life to date, and while he has been continuously resident in Athlone since 1965, the Offaly native first came to Athlone town in 1948 to join the Construction Corp in Custume Barracks. His book is available from us in softcopy format and is also now available as an ebook on Amazon.
