Haughey/Gregory
Author(s): Colin Murphy
A housing crisis, a hung Dáil and an unlikely alliance.
Haughey|Gregory follows the deal made between Tony Gregory and Charles Haughey in 1982, when Gregory took a surprise Dáil seat - and suddenly found himself holding the balance of power.
Dublin's Inner City is devastated by unemployment and addiction – and the planners' solution is simply to bulldoze it. But the general election results in the novice TD, Tony Gregory, holding the balance of power.
Can Gregory use his vote to achieve something for his constituents? To do so, he will have to face off against the dominant personality of Irish politics - Charles J Haughey.
