Eamon Gilmore book to reveal his ‘court-martial’ by Burton

Former Tánaiste Eamon Gilmore is set to reveal how he was “court-martialled” out of government by his successor Joan Burton in his revealing memoir.

The former Labour leader is also expected to reveal how the controversy around the controversial resignation of garda commissioner Martin Callinan almost resulted in the junior coalition partner walking out of government.

Mr Gilmore describes how Ms Burton was disappointed at not being given the position she wanted in 2011, when she was appointed social protection minister.
