Episode 13 - Mark Tighe - All the President's Men
We had the pleasure to speak to Irish News Reporter of the Year for 2018 & 2019, Mark Tighe last week.
Mark’s book of choice was ‘All the President’s Men’ by Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward. The book details how the pair brought down President Richard Nixon and exposed the infamous Watergate Scandal. Many parallels can be drawn between Tighe’s exposé of former FAI President John Delaney and the work Woodward and Bernstein did during the 1970’s.
As always, we learn a lot about our guest. We dive deep into the book and also ask Mark about his time blowing the whistle on the FAI’s shoddy finances, as well as learning about the pitfalls of Ireland’s defamation laws.
