Essays by leading academic, political and media figures in honour of Brian Farrell, the well-known political interviewer and former member of the Department of Politics, in celebration of his 75th birthday in 2004. The essays cover aspects of history of Irish democracy, the role of government institutions and their relations with Europe, government finance, the party system, political campaigning for elections and referendums, the lobby system and government relations with the media.

"very readable, concise enough to be quickly and easily embraced, innovative enough to spark some re-evaluations on issues ranging from the legacy of Eamon De Valera to the difficulties in the creation of the Ombudsman's office and the dominance of public relations over performance in politics." Irish Independent June 2004 "a rewarding tour d'horizon of Irish public life." Irish Times June 2004
