Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. GUBU is an acronym standing for grotesque, unbelievable, bizarre and unprecedented. The phrase was paraphrased from a comment by then Taoiseach (prime minister) of Ireland, Charles Haughey, while describing a strange series of incidents in the summer of 1982 that led to a double-murderer being apprehended in the house of the Irish Attorney General. It was a bizarre happening, an unprecedented situation, a grotesque situation, an almost unbelievable mischance. The corresponding acronym was coined by Conor Cruise O''Brien, and both it and the phrase are still occasionally used in Irish political discourse to describe notorious scandals.
