Ross O'Carroll-Kelly is a media franchise named after its central character: a fictional wealthy "D4" rugby union jock created by journalist Paul Howard. The character first appeared in a January 1998 column in the Sunday Tribune newspaper and later transferred to The Irish Times. The series comprises (as of 2012) eleven novels, two plays, a CD, two other books and the newspaper column. Howard distances himself from his protagonist's viewpoint by describing himself as being "as working class as curry sauce, processed cheese slices and borrowing money from the credit union."
