Carpetgate reveals the extraordinary true story behind Ireland's notorious Kelly Case - a web of fraud, corruption, and cover-ups that shook the Irish State during the early 1980s. Drawing on first-hand experience and official records, Brendan McGoldrick exposes how a thriving carpet empire, Kelly's Carpetdrome, became entangled in organized crime, tax evasion, and political scandal.

Through a gripping narrative, McGoldrick takes readers from the bustling streets of Dublin to the tense High Court trials that followed, uncovering the hidden links between business, government, and the underworld. What began as a financial story unfolds into one of Ireland's most significant legal and criminal sagas - one that led to the country's first-ever witness protection programme.

This is a shocking, meticulously researched account of greed, deception, and survival - a real-life thriller that reads like fiction, but every word is true.
