Politics & government

Ireland's top political journalist tells the inside story of how the coalition government really works

The Price of Power is the riveting inside story of Fine Gael and Labour in government.

It is about trying to govern a country on the verge of ruin - the favours, the deals, the compromises and previously unthinkable choices that had to be made. It is a tale of high drama (and high dudgeon), of betrayal, backstabbing and disillusionment, of those who rose to the challenge and those who withered under the strain.

With a mix of unrivalled inside information, astute analysis and exciting writing, acclaimed political writer Pat Leahy lifts the lid on the coalition that is supposed to set Ireland on the road to recovery.
