Showtime

The Inside Story of Fianna Fáil in Power




'Just brilliant. I couldn't put it down .. a great rollicking read' Ryan Tubridy, RTÉ

In boom and in bust, Ireland has been led by Fianna Fáil. Showtime gets behind the party's remarkable dominance of the political landscape and leading political writer Pat Leahy, tells the gripping story of how it won, kept and has used power since the mid-1990s.

Showtime is politics in the raw: the exciting, enlightening and sometimes disturbing story of a remarkable era that changed the face of modern Ireland.
