Despite the controversy surrounding the former Taoiseach, Aidan insisted the trilogy series is not about judging the politician.
He said: “It wasn’t my intention to do an impersonation because you can do that really well, but that’d be too much.”
“This drama is not about being judgmental. It’s about exciting times in the life of our State and the emergence of a modern Ireland, with Haughey at the forefront,” he said.
