On 28 November 2010, the Irish government infamously agreed to a
bailout from the Troika to save Ireland's failing economy. This
decision had huge and long-lasting social implications for Ireland
and her people, and led to the annihilation of Fianna Fail and its
allies in the 2011 general election. In 'Hell at the Gates', Brian
Cowen, the late Brian Lenihan, Eamon Ryan, Micheal Martin, Mary
Harney and many others, recount for the first time in their own
words the inside story behind the actions of the most hated
government in living memory. The result is a deeply honest,
intensely personal and revelation-strewn account of their
experiences in the white heat of an economic meltdown. It reveals
the extent to which Cowen and Lenihan's relationship disintegrated,
how members of the government were physically attacked by the
public and also gives the definitive account by Micheal Martin
himself of why he chose in early 2011 to move against his embattled
leader. As Mary O'Rourke said of those days, 'There was drama,
tragedy, pathos, comedy, farce, love and death. It was like a
Shakespearean drama.' John Lee and Daniel McConnell have
interviewed the people who were at the coalface of this drama, to
produce a gripping account of those fateful days in and around
Leinster House.
