About this listen
What is it like to run for election? How do public representatives deal with the cut-throat competition from their rivals – and their own running mates? What's the Dáil bar really like? And why, given the constant abuse and demands, would anyone want to do it?
Who better to take us inside the house of political power in Ireland than Virgin Media's Political Correspondent Gavan Reilly? His writing on Ireland's electoral system demystified the complexities of Irish political power for many. Now, in The Secret Life of Leinster House, he shows what it takes to make it as a politician and gives listeners a ringside seat at the Cabinet table.
Meet the whips, lobbyists and special advisers pulling the strings. Discover how leaked minutes from parliamentary party meetings end up on the Six One News. With unprecedented access to political insiders, The Secret Life of Leinster House lifts the lid on what really goes on, revealing what politicians want you to know about them – and what they don't!
