McDonald details the perpetrators and victims of this unfettered approach to city planning with a dogged reporter's style. The book remains an important social document for a number of reasons. Although the litany of destruction and development has now been succeeded by a more recent phase of huge change, many of those mentioned still play an active role in the commercial and political life of Ireland. The reader is left with little doubt of the longstanding relationships that were formed and still exist between Fianna Fáil and the country's builders and developers.
