<p>Dail Eireann, the principle chamber of the Irish Parliament, is the crucible where great debates shape the future of the Irish state and tell the nation where it stands now and where it is going. It serves as the focus of public debate and public concern. This book recalls fifty of the most dramatic and important such debates since 1948. This book is not simply a narrative of speeches. It captures the culture that shaped these moments of Irish national drama through a synopsis of the events preceding the debate, the debate itself, and its outcome.</p>

It's been 500 years since Niccolo Machiavelli wrote The Prince, but as this tongue-in-cheek look at Irish political life makes only too clear, the gap between the Renaissance palazzo and the parish pump is a narrow one indeed. In fact, observe the Irish body politic for long enough and the lines between the Florentine's faceless hero and the Irish Dail aristocrats begin to blur ever so slightly. In this wildly entertaining book, celebrated Sunday Independent columnist John Drennan is at his best.
