Martyn Turner arrived in Ireland from Essex in the 1970s. Jack Lynch was Taoiseach. Turner has since drawn all nine men who have become head of government on his watch. This book reproduces representative samples of his work on each, together with a commentary on the technical problems each man presented for the struggling cartoonist.
