I joined Patrick Geoghegan of Newstalk’s Talking History on Sunday, 26 January to talk about my new book. We discussed the reasons why Declan Costello formulated his proposals when he did; the effect his policies had on Fine Gael and wider society; and the extent to which Garret FitzGerald was a progressive figure. We also discussed the weekend’s Reform Alliance meeting in the context of past Fine Gael tensions.
