“I did explain I wasn’t part of the Healy-Rae team, that I’m in the truth business, and that they would have no editorial control. Now there were some members of the family who got a little bit confused about my role and there was some tension.”
Who are the Healy-Raes? Do they represent all that is wrong with Irish politics or are they smarter and better at their job than most? A new documentary charts their journey from the time after the last election when Michael Healy-Rae became a minister to the astonishing days when he resigned from government. Dion Fanning talks to filmmaker Jerry Kennelly.
