Leo Varadkar, former leader of Fine Gael and taoiseach, has announced his upcoming autobiography titled 'Speaking My Mind, releasing on September 11. After a competitive bidding war involving nine publishers, he signed a six-figure deal with Sandycove. Varadkar aims to provide both personal and political insights from his time in office during significant events like the economic crash, Brexit, and the pandemic. He reflects on his experiences with honesty, considering both achievements and regrets, and shares that while much is known about his career, there remains untold aspects worth exploring.
"I served in government at one of the most interesting periods in history - the aftermath of the economic crash, Brexit, transformative referendums and the pandemic."
"It's as much a personal memoir as it is a book about political history. There is so much people know already about my time at the top but there is almost as much that they don't."
