Leonard examines events that occurred in the Republic of Ireland during the early decades of the millennium, years that proved to be tumultuous for Ireland, with major events such as the Peace Process, the economic boom and subsequent collapse of the Irish economy, and Brexit. His main focus is the response to policy processes that have occurred within the context of these dramatic changes. He covers the Irish state from boom to bailout to Brexit, economy and resistance, conservation, water, resources, energy, crime, multiculturalism, restorative justice, and prisons.
