"As she prepares for the release of her new memoir Miriam: Life, Work, Everything, broadcaster Miriam O'Callaghan talks about navigating divorce, the mantras she lives by and being ringside on society's most ground-breaking stories Let's get the presidency stuff out of the way first. Is there one among us who doesn't wish Miriam (she long ago acceded to one-name status) had gone for it, just as all those rumours, over all those years, had it that she intended to?"
"As it happens, it seems this was never on the cards. In a chapter (called Park Run) of her new book - Miriam: Life, Work, Everything - she writes that she first heard the rumours in 2010, and had her RTÉ publicists release a statement saying that "she will NOT be standing for the position... in the upcoming election of 2011". The story flared up again in 2015, when Paddy Power cut her odds from 10/1 to 7/10, and again thereafter."
Miriam O'Callaghan prepares to release a memoir titled Miriam: Life, Work, Everything that covers personal and professional milestones. The memoir addresses navigating divorce, the personal mantras she follows, and frontline reporting on major societal events. Longstanding public speculation about a presidential candidacy is recounted, with rumours first heard in 2010 and an RTÉ publicists' statement denying a 2011 run. A later spike in speculation occurred in 2015 when Paddy Power shortened betting odds. The memoir includes a chapter called Park Run and references her established one-name public persona.
