First published in 1967, this is a 1968 reprint by Mercier Press, the original publisher. Light tanning to page block,
It is the 1960s and Tull MacAloo is a Kerry TD who stands for “the party” – an organization that could be either Fianna Fáil or Fine Gael. He complains bitterly about the unreliability of Independents, a sentiment that has a certain extra relevance at the moment.
MacAloo takes credit for all the local road building and drainage schemes. His wife suffers from her nerves, and gives him hell. A romantic indiscretion, which he insists is just innocent chat, trips him up and the party goes sour on him. Suddenly the Independent benches beckon, and the balance of power is up for grabs.
All presented in letter format , mostly from Mick McAdoo TD to his son, wider family, associates, and replies from them. Ingenious , and with Keane's ear for nuance and detail throughout.
