"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
