Shane Kenny provides the reader with the ultimate fly-on-the-wall insider account of this crucial period in Irish politics: one which contained highly significant breakthroughs in the Northern Ireland peace process, the most high-profile murder in the history of the state (Veronica Guerin), the establishment of the 'payments to politicians' tribunal which finally exposed the sources of former Taoiseach Charles Haughey's wealth, and a divorce referendum which heralded a changing Ireland.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is also a story of tragedy, both political and human; of those who died and were injured needlessly by the resumption of IRA violence; of a government with good potential which fell; of timing which was wrong, and of an economic disaster that could have been averted, or at least substantially mitigated.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Shane Kenny\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1804581860\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781804581865\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Gill Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/07\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Shane Kenny","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46293135589631,"sku":"9781804581865","price":37.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a5f3e671-9485-419c-868c-87ecc0946f43.jpg?v=1730212229","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/under-the-rainbow-shane-kenny-9781804581865","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
