The long life enjoyed by Dr. T.K. Whitaker parallels the history of the modern Irish state in whose economic, financial, social, constitutional, educational, political and cultural evolution he played a pivotal role.

Whitaker’s inspirational blueprint for the regeneration of the Irish economy in the 1960s, guiding Ireland’s path to membership of such bodies as the IMF and the European Union, transforming the Central Bank into a dynamic independent force, to the Good Friday Agreement, earned him the title ‘architect of modern Ireland’.

Whitaker’s biographer Anne Chambers presents the personal story behind this remarkable public servant.
