Dyfyniadau
‘When Paul Murphy speaks, everyone listens. Shrewd sympathetic and decent, he’s been a helluva politician to work alongside and observe, as this fascinating memoir demonstrates.’
-Lord Peter Hain
‘This personal memoir reflects the discretion and diligence that have marked Paul Murphy’s career, along with an amiable determination … It truly comes through that Paul always considered his profession to be “about people and personal relationships”. An understated memoir – generous in respect for others – to remind us that modest integrity, level-headed normality, steady instinct, honest reflection and adjustment with a rounded take on life are assets for democratic service that currently seem to be devalued at our collective expense.’
-Mark Durkan, SDLP
