Let Me Tell You - Series 2 Episode 2

  • Summary

  • Very few people know it, but in 2012, Ireland developed over many months a secret plan to reprint the punt as fears of a collapse of the Euro currency came close to being a reality.

    In this episode, former Labour leader and then Public Expenditure Minister Brendan Howlin reveals the details of that secret plan, which could have led to a new currency with the face of Michael D Higgins on it.

    In this series, we look back at some of the most dramatic episodes in recent Irish political history from the unique perspective of one of the key players.

    Produced by Paul Hosford and Daniel McConnell.
