Keane's bestseller Letters of a Successful T.D. will be familiar with the exploits of Tull MacAdoo who was a rural backbencher. In this book he becomes Minister for Bogland Areas with Special Responsibility for Game and Wildlife. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe is a powerful, resourceful and cunning man who can get things done for his 'Number Ones' by 'using every trick in the book and some not in the book'. The reader will chuckle to himself as he enters the web of local intrigue and petty skullduggery among the rural politicians. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe also meet Tull's family: his spendthrift son, Mick, at university who will make Tull the laughing stock of the constituency if he fails his exams again, his narrow-minded, martyred, hypochondriac wife who 'suffers from head to toe', and his best-loved child, Kate, in whom he confides his problems. There is also Tull's running feud with James Flannery, the local N.T. Although Tull is a little on the ignorant side he has learned his lessons in the Dail and deals with his opponent not in the most lawful way but in very effective ways.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 98\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.2 x 7 x 4.37 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 06, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47522527346909,"sku":"9781781178973","price":24.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/wW7qfbLd9Y9781781178973.webp?v=1772281208","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/letters-of-an-irish-minister-of-state-a-sequel-to-letters-of-a-successful-t-d-paperback","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
