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? How intense is the work? What’s the Dáil bar really like? Why are parliamentary party meetings so leaky? What goes on behind closed doors at Cabinet meetings? What do special advisers actually do?
And why, given the almost constant abuse that now comes with the job, would anyone want to do it?
Political Correspondent Gavan Reilly takes us inside Dáil Éireann to discover what it takes to survive in Ireland’s political cauldron. With unprecedented access to political insiders, The Secret Life of Leinster House lifts the lid on the corridors of power as never before – revealing how Irish politics really works, and the demands it places on those who make it their lives.
