From late 1994 to June 1997 Fine Gael, Labour and Democratic Left were a coalition government led by John Bruton, arguably the most left-wing government in the history of the state. Shane Kenny provides the reader with the ultimate fly-on-the-wall insider account of this crucial period in Irish politics: one which contained highly significant breakthroughs in the Northern Ireland peace process, the most high-profile murder in the history of the state (Veronica Guerin), the establishment of the 'payments to politicians' tribunal which finally exposed the sources of former Taoiseach Charles Haughey's wealth, and a divorce referendum which heralded a changing Ireland.This is also a story of tragedy, both political and human; of those who died and were injured needlessly by the resumption of IRA violence; of a government with good potential which fell; of timing which was wrong, and of an economic disaster that could have been averted, or at least substantially mitigated.

In the course of a twenty-year friendship, podcasters Jenny Kelly and Mairead Ronan have experienced single life, career highs, break-ups, make-ups, marriages, divorce, motherhood, death, diets, hair styles, stress, ageing, lifestyle dilemmas, sadness and lots and lots of good times too. Of a middling age, and after years of talking (and cups of tea), they no longer sweat the small stuff. What We Know Now! is full of their down-to-earth advice on the serious (and sometimes funny) business of life.Inspired by their own life experiences, Jenny and Mairead share their failures, successes and mess-ups. They share how to navigate the ebbs and flows of proper grown-up friendships, to what it means to be in a relationship and how to read the signs of when to move on, to how to stop worrying about having it all and figure out what it is you actually want - as well as essential truths, like why you will never have Pocahontas hair and that's okay, the joy of a deep clean and the noise of a spray mop, and how staring at trees can make you happier than owning a Mulberry handbag. What We Know Now! doesn't claim to solve all your problems, but it will provide good company, give you a good laugh, and help you feel less alone through the unavoidable ups and downs of life.
