The country had no oil and little coal, but Lemass found an inexhaustible source of industrial fuel in its peat bogs, where huge machines now cut turf that a busy, state-owned processing plant turns into inexpensive, slow-burning briquettes. After a long political wrangle, he got Ireland's state-owned airline off the ground, and has watched happily as Aer Lingus' shamrock-painted planes have made it one of the few government airlines to turn...
