A book by South Derry writer and broadcaster Owen Kelly has been republished eight years after his death.

The decision was taken by O'Brien Press due to demand.

'Essential Norn Irish' is a humorous guide to local lingo. It was released in 2005, just three years before Mr Kelly's death.

Mr Kelly was one of Northern Ireland's best-loved humourists, known for his Irish News columns.

Originally from South Derry, he later moved to west Belfast.

His guide has been described as a "laugh-out-loud funny, irreverent and practical".

Mr Kelly passed away in 2008.
