The political dynasty is a well-established tradition in Ireland, but most particularly in Kerry, where nearly all politicians can trace their political lineage back several generations -- with some unbroken representation extending back to the foundation of the state!
O'Shea explores the grip on power these families have, and how they exclude new entrants to the political system; the pressures on family members to continue the traditions of their forefathers; the intense local rivalries and the impact of these families
on the national political scene. Politics does not get any fiercer than in Kerry, and this original and well-researched book throws a light on how Irish public representatives get and keep hold of power and influence.
