But \u003ci\u003eHaughey’s Millions\u003c\/i\u003e does not deal with Haughey’s political history; instead Keena uncovers the subject that Haughey most wanted to avoid and you’ll most want to read: \u003cb\u003ethe truth about his money\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom elections to tribunal appearances, Haughey dominated the Irish political landscape from the ’60s to the ’90s and always lived visibly beyond his means. From his princely accommodation in Kinsealy to his penchant for horses, Haughey’s extravagant spending made him look like a rich man on a TD’s salary.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eHaughey’s Millions\u003c\/i\u003e, Keena traces the origins of Haughey’s lavish lifestyle back to the ’50s and to his early life as a partner in Haughey, Boland \u0026amp; Co. Moving chronologically forward, Keena looks at Haughey’s early involvement with Des Traynor and his developing relationships with property developers and other key entrepreneurs and business figures. Keena’s investigations take him up to the Moriarty and McCracken tribunals of the mid-’90s, set up to investigate the alleged financial corruption at the heart of Haughey’s infamous political reign.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnder the microscope of Keena’s investigations, Haughey’s financial dealings are revealed. In \u003ci\u003eHaughey’s Millions\u003c\/i\u003e, Keena gives you the whole tangled story of a politician who lived like a prince, from beginning to ignominious end.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eHaughey’s Millions\u003c\/i\u003e: Table of Contents\u003col\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart One: 1925–1987\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eA Descendant of Kings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Tax Commissioner’s Residence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Wilderness Years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBanking Secrets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHorse Dealers and Hoteliers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelping Ciarán\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart Two: 1987–1992\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eBack in Business\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTralee Again\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA New Disciple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMoney for the Boss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrian Lenihan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinancial Services\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTaxing the Taoiseach\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart Three: 1992–\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eBowing Out Gracefully\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelicopters Again\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn Innocent Bystander\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisclosure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEndgame\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Case for the Defence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Gill Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47125684682992,"sku":"9780717167494","price":2.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780717167494_p0.jpg?v=1763621803","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780717167494","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
