Former Housing Minister Eoghan Murphy has opened up about the verbal abuse he has received and said even an ex-girlfriend had to deal with “horrific abuse to her face”.
He denied he was exiting Leinster House over his time as Housing Minister and that his departure was a personal decision. Speaking to RTÉ’s Claire Byrne on Tuesday about the abuse he received he said: When it comes to politics, criticism is absolutely fair, you've got to hold public people to account."It was tough but you develop coping mechanisms, a lot of miles were spent running out at Sandymount Strand after coming home from work after a difficult day.
Speaking today he said those comments were “stupid” and said he was kicking himself after he said it. Labour Senator Ivana Bacik has announced she is hoping to run and said she would like to be a progressive female voice in the Dáil.
ciaraphelan_ Ah dittums. The person shouting at them was probably homeless because of Eoghan Murphy.
ciaraphelan_ All politicians get that - he should know to take it on the chin - times are bad in Eire since the Deregulation of banks and how the people got evicted from their homes - and they give big salary raises to themselves- and outsourced our health system - nó housing built either
