Crony Ireland - - the toxic nexus of business and local politics, in a system of limited accountability - - maybe about to make a comeback with the election of a Fianna Fáil property services insider as the next Irish head of state. Meanwhile, the opposition of eight former attorney generals to proposals on judges' pay and Oireachtas inquiries - - all of the individuals likely multi-millionaires and two who have served as chairmen of Allied Irish Banks (AIB) - - confirms again how difficult it is to bring about change in such a conservative country.
