The Great Betrayal by John Drennan
No Irish government has ever enjoyed a larger majority, but equally, no administration has ever so comprehensively squandered its mandate. From penalty points to water charges, funding cuts to tax hikes, The Great Betrayal is a cutting assessment of the upheavals, egos and scraps that helped this most unlikely of scenarios came to pass.For two decades, John Drennan was the most feared scribe in Leinster House. Some politicians loved him, most hated him, but all agreed that he was the wiliest, the most accurate, the most independent and the most sagacious chronicler of the Dá il soap-opera.
Then, in a move that stunned the political establishment, he left Ireland’s largest newspaper, The Sunday Independent, to join a struggling fledgling party called Renua. He may be a spinner now, but in his writing that independent voice and inquiring eye continues to shines through.
John lives in Portlaoise with his wife and two sons.
