The Last Days of the Celtic Tiger

by Paul HowardLandmark Productions in association with MCD

Ross O’Carroll-Kelly was a man who had it all – a cool set of wheels, a gaff on the right side of town and a face that made boyfriends jealous. But after the boom came the bang. South Dublin’s most eligible married man is left penniless and alone thanks to pure bad luck. Well, that, an investigation by the Criminal Assets Bureau into the source of his old man’s wealth and getting caught conkers-deep in the family nanny. Are the good times really over? Is it too much to hope for another economic miracle.
