There has been much talk about "Future Shock: Property Crash". I am more interested in the aftermath of the programme. Mr. Mulhall has referred to the comments of the former Taoiseach, Bertie Ahern, after "How We Blew the Boom". After "Future Shock: Property Crash", he also said something to Matt Cooper. It is mentioned in Matt Cooper's book, Who Really Runs Ireland?. I understand it was on the radio show as well. He said that it was irresponsible and inaccurate and that he disagreed with almost everything in it. The Construction Industry Federation had released a statement shortly afterwards. The valuation body had taken up the issue of bias, which was not sustained. Was there any direct contact from anyone within political circles or people acting for them to RTE in respect of "Future Shock: Property Crash"?
