The recent RTE drama series, "Charlie", among other things, highlighted the links between Fianna Fáil and the builders such as the Gallagher Group, during the CJ Haughey period. Watching the drama - I must confess I watched all the series - it made me recall that when I purchased my Gallagher-built home in Raheny in 1969, I received a letter from the then Minister, CJ Haughey, shortly after I moved in, welcoming me into his constituency and assuring me that if I needed his assistance I should contact him. As I was not even on the electoral register at the time, CJ could only have obtained my name from the builder - there was no Data Protection Act in those days.
