Product Description
Shane Kenny provides the reader with the ultimate fly-on-the-wall insider account of this crucial period in Irish politics: one which contained highly significant breakthroughs in the Northern Ireland peace process, the most high-profile murder in the history of the state (Veronica Guerin), the establishment of the ‘payments to politicians’ tribunal which finally exposed the sources of former Taoiseach Charles Haughey’s wealth, and a divorce referendum which heralded a changing Ireland.
This is also a story of tragedy, both political and human; of those who died and were injured needlessly by the resumption of IRA violence; of a government with good potential which fell; of timing which was wrong, and of an economic disaster that could have been averted, or at least substantially mitigated.
Shane Kenny is an Irish journalist and broadcaster who launched and was the first editor of Morning Ireland. He was also a long-term anchor on News at One and This Week. He was Press Secretary to the 1994–7 Rainbow Coalition government and subsequently set up his own media consultancy company, as well as taking on the role of director of public affairs at Dublin City University.
