Eoghan Murphy was Ireland’s housing minister between 2017 and 2020. He faced the most difficult challenge in government at the time, the challenge of rapidly growing homeless numbers, a dormant construction industry, and rising rents. His departure from cabinet was soon followed by his full exit from politics in 2021. He has spent the time since writing his memoirs.
Running From Office: Confessions of Ambition and Failure in Politics is his account of that time, and the period after his entry to politics at the 2009 local elections. In this episode, we get to know the real “Murph” (the nickname bestowed on him on Callan's Kicks, the RTÉ satirical radio show). His time in politics was woven among many personal challenges, including his relationships with others and his mental health.
