In Exposed: Scandals that Rocked the Irish State, Frank Connolly exposes decades of corruption within Ireland’s halls of power. Drawing on many years as an investigative journalist, Connolly charts a culture of bribery, fraud and malfeasance that shook the State – from Charles Haughey’s tenure to Bertie Ahern’s 2008 resignation. His investigations helped trigger tribunals that revealed cronyism, illicit payments and the abuse of office by politicians, business elites and the Garda Síochána. The book unearths a continuity of wrongdoing and greed in Ireland: from the Moriarty Tribunal’s findings on Michael Lowry, to Garda misconduct in the North-West, to shocking corruption within the planning process that sowed the seeds for today’s housing crisis. Sharp, unflinching and informed by first-hand reporting, Exposed is more than a political exposé – it is a cautionary tale for today’s Ireland, challenging readers to confront the structures of power and demand accountability from those at the top.
