Snouts in the Trough Summary

Snouts in the Trough by Ken Foxe

From the salubrious offices of John O'Donoghue, the former Ceann Comhairle, to Senator Ivor Callely's long commute to work, award-winning journalist Ken Foxe provides an irresistible read.

This is an eye-opening glimpse into the world of unearned privilege, unreasonable expectation and gross extravagance that characterises our political and administrative elite. Yes, the same geniuses who have overseen our slide towards disaster.

'A damning dissection of a culture of excess and entitlement'

Fintan O'Toole, The Irish Times

'Foxe's level of detail on individual expense claims is praiseworthy and is sure to succeed in angering many readers'

David Clerkin, Sunday Business Post

RTE 'Liveline' Non-Fiction Book of the Year 2010

Snouts in the Trough Reviews

Snouts in the Trough brings together and amplifies the details of the conduct of our spendthrift leaders. The book will stand out as a damning dissection of a culture of excess and entitlement, and it will no doubt be raided for ammunition to fire at hapless ministers knocking on doors in the next election. Fintan O'Toole, Irish Times Weekend Review. Based on hundreds of previously unseen documents the book gives an inside account of the events that rocked Irish politics to its very foundations. Owen O'Shea, Kerry's Eye Foxe's level of detail on individual expense claims is praiseworthy and is sure to succeed in angering many readers. David Clerkin, Sunday Business Post Ken Foxe guides us through a shocking period of waste in Irish public life. Richard Oakley, The Sunday Times
