Bought the book, (less than one hour ago). But, before (Trying!) to read it; your analogy of the cattle is spot-on. And us, the people, are propagandised that ‘awh shur, all your children will be beautiful geniuses and be Given long-term mortgages and, so, secure credit and… definite Tenure’. doh! And, doe-eyed, we all believe it.
But, re. C.Haughey, I reckon he did know very well that he/we are Fredo - but he was involved in a political game with the extant elites.

Bought a copy in Connolly Books yesterday and started reading it on the train home.
Up to let the cat in and have a cup of tea and finish the book. A very good and welcome book.

Well done Conor

Interview has made me very curious. Especially after the wire references! Will definitely be picking up a copy.

Please do come over to limerick to discuss.

Many congratulations on the book Conor. Just finished it. Very well-structured, informative and, I would say, accessible. A welcome shift away from the populist bullshit that has polluted the media in recent years. Let’s hope that it draws some serious attention to the deeply-rooted structural problems of Irish society and, equally, towards the alternative remedies put forward by Taft, Burke, O’Connor etc.

“it’s not really a late late book”

Oh, I don’t know. “Blogger gets approached by publisher to turn his insights into a book” is in chat-show territory.
