'Mixed emotions' as former housing minister Eoghan Murphy resigns as TD 

Fine Gael TD said that it would not be right to 'take a very generous salary' to do a job that he was 'not 100% committed to'

Eoghan Murphy said it was a 'personal decision' to resign his seat.

Former housing minister Eoghan Murphy says he has "mixed emotions" about his decision to resign his seat as a TD for Dublin Bay South.

The Fine Gael TD, who has served in the Dáil since 2011 as a TD, minister of state and as a Cabinet minister, wrote to the Ceann Comhairle this morning to confirm his resignation.
