How should Ireland remember Charles J. Haughey? Political experts debate his legacy and his role in shaping modern Ireland and Temple Bar.
Love him or loathe him, Charles J. Haughey remains one of the most fascinating and controversial figures in modern Irish political history. But how should Ireland remember him?
