Leo Varadkar’s new memoir promises readers an insight into what the former taoiseach really thought about the monumental events - Covid, Brexit, the housing crisis - that he was centrally involved in.

On today’s Inside Politics podcast Varadkar talks to Hugh Linehan and Mark Hennessy about the book and his life and times in politics.

He explains why Eoghan Murphy may have been better suited to a government role other than Housing Minister, why he and Phil Hogan still don’t speak, why a Covid inquiry still hasn’t happened and why the question of reunification may need serious consideration more quickly than some think.
