{"product_id":"9781785376030","title":"Exposed : The Scandals that Rocked the State - Frank Connolly","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrom the murky corridors of power to the empty streets of our ghost estates, Frank Connolly exposes the Ireland that decades of corruption built. Drawing on fifteen years as an investigative journalist with \u003ci\u003eThe Sunday Business Post\u003c\/i\u003e and the \u003ci\u003eIrish Mail on Sunday\u003c\/i\u003e, Connolly charts the scandals that shook the State; from Charles Haughey's tenure to Bertie Ahern's 2008 resignation. His investigations helped trigger tribunals that revealed cronyism, illicit payments, and the abuse of office by politicians and business elites alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eExposed\u003c\/i\u003e unearths the continuity of corruption and greed in Ireland: the Moriarty Tribunal's findings on Michael Lowry, Garda misconduct in the North-West, and the policies that seeded our disastrous housing crisis. Connolly shows how one government after another enriched the few while denying a generation the right to secure, affordable homes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSharp, unflinching, and informed by first-hand reporting, \u003ci\u003eExposed\u003c\/i\u003e is more than a political expose. It's a cautionary tale for today's Ireland, challenging readers to confront the structures of power and demand accountability from those at the top.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Frank Connolly","offers":[{"title":"n\/a \/ 27\/08\/2026 \/ Politics \u0026 government","offer_id":57415926645111,"sku":"9781785376030","price":18.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0682\/9454\/1624\/files\/9781785376030.jpg?v=1787909751","url":"https:\/\/gulpfictionbooks.com\/products\/9781785376030","provider":"Gulp Fiction","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
