Fine Gael's demise has been periodically predicted since 1933 and
yet it has survived, becoming the largest party in the state after
the 2011 election. Drawing on interviews with key players and
previously unused archival sources, this book offers a fascinating
account of a critical period in Fine Gael's history when the party
was challenged to define its place in Irish politics. The central
role played by Declan Costello is disclosed for the first time: he
was never party leader, yet his Just Society proposals transformed
Fine Gael by encouraging a new generation of socially-minded
politicians, while his agenda for change paved the way for Garret
FitzGerald. Exploring the continuities and discontinuities between
Costello's Just Society and FitzGerald's Constitutional Crusade,
the book documents how the internal debate shaped the party and
provides an insight into the origins of an identity crisis with
which Fine Gael continues to struggle.
