'never dull, very funny, and hugely entertaining'

Emer Hackett is a fearless and determined investigative reporter – her target is the Taoiseach, Manny Spillane, a wily political survivor.
Their paths cross in the ruins of an old theatre, set to be the site for a banking centre, which promises to bring wealth to the Irish economy as well to Spillane and his cohorts.
Following up the much loved Dublin By Lamplight, The Corn Exchange takes a look at what Ireland might have become 50 years after its independence — and how fragile the norms that govern us really are.
