Diarmaid Ferriter

In his latest work Diarmaid Ferriter looks at the years of the Celtic Tiger, including the economic ‘bust’ and the gradual restoration of our financial independence. He also explores the collapse of the authority of the Catholic church, the end of civil war politics, immigration, ever closer European involvement, the peace process, and the Anglo-Irish highs that were followed by Brexit lows and increasing talk of Irish unity. As we enter our second century of independence Diarmaid Ferriter makes historical sense of post-1990s Ireland, its social, political and cultural hinterlands, and what lies in the darkest corners of its archives.
