Dan Kiely’s memoir ‘The Final Count’ is set to be published this November. Co-written with JM Agency founder Jeremy Murphy, ‘The Final Count’ presents a very personal account of a life often lived in the glare of the media.
Colourful, charismatic, loyal, hard-working, controversial – these are some of the words people have used to describe politician and businessman Dan Kiely. But who is the real man? Dan’s achievements have been dissected in the pages of The Irish Examiner, The Phoenix, and The Kerryman, but which account is true? A close confidant of former taoisigh Charles Haughey and Bertie Ahern, readers will be shocked and amused by his insights into the inner workings of power. From a scoop into the resignation of controversial Minster for Justice Seán Doherty to a very personal account of Ireland’s Machiavellian political culture, ‘The Final Count’ is a hard-hitting memoir.
The story of how Dan Kiely personally delivered 15,000 visa applications to a centre in Virginia will both delight and shock readers. Developing a close relationship with Massachusetts Congressman Brian Donnelly, Dan Kiely played an integral role in the Morrison and Donnelly visa programmes, which ensured tens of thousands of immigrants secured visas.’
‘The Final Count’ was a team effort, with Jeremy being very grateful for the professionalism, skill and artistry displayed by our in-house editing and design team, ensuring Senator Dan Kiely received the very best publishing service. Publishing memoirs in Ireland can be daunting, so it was reassuring for all involved to have the support of an exceptional team. Jeremy is particularly greatful to Susan Lewando for her professional and insightful initial copy-edit, to Niamh McAuliffe and Joanne Cafferky for exceptional proofreading and fact-checking, to a very tight deadline, to Parvathi N Venkitaraman for her design and formatting magic, and to Daria Piaseczna for her stunning photography.
