Description

There was a period when Eoghan Murphy was possibly the most controversial man in Irish politics. For someone so early in their career and with such a high profile, his retirement in 2021 came as a massive shock. But only those close to him knew how much of a toll the previous few years had taken on him. His new book, Running from Office: Confessions of Ambition and Failure in Politics, looks at a short and divisive political career and the emotional scars he bore as a housing minister. Host; Fionnán Sheahan, Guest; Eoghan Murphy
