Book description
A devastating new expos from the bestselling authors of The
Bankers and Wasters.
In March 2011, the Irish people elected a new government. But how
much had really changed? In The Untouchables, Shane Ross and
Nick Webb shine a light into dark corners of official Ireland to show
that the blame for running the country into the ground goes well
beyond Fianna F il, and that a dismaying number of the people who
should share the blame are still in situ: in the civil service, on the
boards of the leading companies, and in the banks, law firms, and
consultancies that carry so much influence in deciding who wins and
who loses. They name names, trace connections, and show how the
untouchables managed to do so much damage, how they got away with it,
and how so many of them are still in positions of power and influence
in Ireland.
'Fascinating ... required reading for anyone interested in how crony
capitalism and power work in practice in Ireland' Irish Times
'The Untouchables is hard to put down. Read it and seethe.'
