The Secret Life of Leinster House: What you really need to know about how the country is run

What is it like to run for election? How do public representatives deal with the cut-throat competition from their rivals – and their own running mates? What's the Dáil bar really like? And how, given the demands of the 24-hour news cycle, does any meaningful work get done? Political correspondent Gavan Reilly turns his keen analytical eye to the machinations of Leinster House. With unprecedented access to political insiders, Gavan offers us a seat at the cabinet table exposing how Irish politics really works. 'If you want to understand, really understand, how Irish politics works behind the scenes, you should read this book' SHANE COLEMAN 'This book has it all … the ultimate behind-the-curtain guide to the world of Irish politics' JENNIFER BRAY 'Invaluable insights into the drama, demands and drudgery of politics … essential reading for anyone with ambitions' SEAN O'ROURKE
