Aengus Finuncane

When Father Aengus Cornelius Finucane entered a room, his entrance was noted. When he held court at one of his parties, the focus was on him. When he addressed a gathering, made a case to a Prime Minister or importuned a new Concern donor, his audience listened. In this powerful new biography, the result of over 50 interviews and extensive travel, Deirdre Purcell explores the life and work of Concern founder Father Aengus Finucane.
