BRIAN COWEN’S LEGACY: Gary Murphy.

Brian Cowen was elected Taoiseach just as the economic storm clouds were gathering in 2008. By the time he left office the country was dependant on the kindness of strangers. Was Cowen culpable for what befell the country/ Was he simply the victim of bad timing? And did his time at the top impinge on his political legacy up to then. Professor Gary Murphy has written a biography of the former Taoiseach and he is this week’s guest on the podcast. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
