Pandemonium: Power, Politics and Ireland’s Pandemic is a new book by the Irish Times political reporter Jack Horgan-Jones and Hugh O’Connell, political correspondent with the Irish Independent. It examines the Government’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic, revealing the moves, power plays and tactics of those in charge. In today’s episode of the Inside Politics podcast, the authors join Political Editor Pat Leahy to talk about writing the book, the pivotal moments along the way, and what lessons can be learned by the State’s response.
