    So far it's a bit dire.

    Reminds of a school hall play

    Is this love hate??

    It's certainly the latter so far.... Not convinced by Gillan or Vaughan Lawlor so far...

    A doc based on politics in the Irish government, from, a politically controlled station by the Irish government.

    Some people are easily excited.

    It is a 3 part drama series, not a documentary.

    Think Des O'Malley was a rival by now? Think more likely Des Traynor?

    JohnBoy and Nidge sent back in time and reincarnated back from the dead as Fianna Fáil criminals, at least before they were ordinary decent criminals.

    It is Des O'Malley.

    I very much doubt if Des O'Malley ever handed Charlie a wad of money.

    I think Charlie is a little too small/slight.

    He was 5' 6". He was never a big man. The small man who becomes a bully

    Gillen is taller then that

    Gillen as Haughey, not too hopeful, he's such a crap actor.

    He's a ham, not seen him in much but anything I have seen didn't like.....even his cameo in the Dark Knight you could spot the ham

    Lots of flashing cameras - would that be realistic for the time?

    So who the hell is Des ?

    I'm ruling out O'Malley after the cash transfer. (And the fact that he didn't have a Rothmans in his gob at the time).

    The overacting kind of has the feel of "The Muppets Do Irish Politics" about it..

    I'm amazed that the carpet of Charlie's office hasn't got a plastic sheet on it for when people come to visit him (mafia joke).
