[4] Series presenters included Aine Lawlor, Bryan Dobson, George Lee, Richard Crowley, Paul Cunningham, John Murray and Cathal Mac Coille.

Whitaker, Seymour Hersh, Alan Johnston, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Seán FitzPatrick, Roy Foster, Samantha Power, Declan Ganley and Jeffrey Sachs.

[10] The third episode featured an interview by Dobson with Ombudsman and Information Commissioner Emily O'Reilly, who deals with complaints against state institutions.

[11] She spoke of her pity for those she viewed as the marginalised members of society, directing her frustration at Ireland's Health Service Executive (HSE) for not dealing with such complaints appropriately.

Smurfit, who brought the Ryder Cup competition to the K Club, County Kildare in 2006, spoke of his father being refused membership at several Dublin golf courses in the 1950s because they mistakenly believed him to be Jewish.

[15] This discrimination, he said, served as motivation for Smurfit to expand his family business into a worldwide organisation with annual profits of €7 billion which employs 40,000 people.

[15] Smurfit also spoke of Ireland's economic growth and the controversy over a land deal which led to an intervention by the then Taoiseach, Charles Haughey who asked him to resign as Chairman of Telecom Éireann after thirteen years in that position.

[17] The eleventh episode features an interview by Crowley with Theo Dorgan, a poet, broadcaster and member of the Arts Council of Ireland.

[9] The twelfth episode featured an interview by Lee with former Attorney General and European Commissioner and current Financial Adviser to the Vatican (part of the Administration of the Patrimony of the Apostolic See), Peter Sutherland.

He spoke of his early life, his tenure as a member of the European Commission, his ultimately successful attempt at winning the post of Director General of the predecessor of the World Trade Organization, GATT.

[25] The tenth episode featured an interview by Lawlor with Enda McDonagh, the former Professor of Moral Theology at National University of Ireland, Maynooth.

[34] Afterwards Sunday Independent columnist Brendan O'Connor compared Cunningham to the hero in US television series Columbo: "seemingly awkward, nerdy and self-effacing and merely innocently asking odd questions, while all the time letting his subject reveal himself".

[36] The sixth episode featured an interview by Lawlor with Hugh R. Brady, who was appointed President of University College Dublin in 2004 – aged forty-four he was the youngest ever to fill the position.

[42] The fourth episode featured an interview by Murray with John A. Murphy, Emeritus Professor of Irish History at University College Cork and Independent Senator of the late 1970s and 1980s, who once remarked "we shouldn't believe something just because we learned it in our schools".
