 Telegraph | News | Charles Haughey
Charles Haughey, the former Taoiseach of the Irish Republic who died yesterday aged 80, was touched by, but survived, a series of scandals of almost Florentine dimensions; they included telephone-tapping of his political opponents, alleged complicity in IRA gun-running, and the discovery of a fugitive murderer at the home of his Attorney General.
Haughey operated the politics of cronyism in an atmosphere of corruption and bullying; yet his acceptance of enormous bribes was never investigated by the tax authorities, since he was as much feared by the civil service as by his political enemies.
Haughey's self-invented princely status prompted him to introduce a herd of red deer to the island, but an attempt to breed sea eagles failed.
