In a chapter (called Park Run) of her new book \u2013 Miriam: Life, Work, Everything \u2013 she writes that she first heard the rumours in 2010, and had her RT\u00c9 publicists release a statement saying that \u201cshe will NOT be standing for the position\u2026 in the upcoming election of 2011\u201d. The story flared up again in 2015, when Paddy Power cut her odds from 10\/1 to 7\/10, and again thereafter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As she prepares for the release of her new memoir Miriam: Life, Work, Everything, broadcaster Miriam O\u2019Callaghan talks&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":145762,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[74],"tags":[18,12324,19,17,26735,4746,69608,1181,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-145761","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-technology","8":"tag-eire","9":"tag-emily-hourican","10":"tag-ie","11":"tag-ireland","12":"tag-jim-ocallaghan","13":"tag-life-magazine","14":"tag-miriam-ocallaghan","15":"tag-rte","16":"tag-technology"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/115438926373063812","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/145761","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=145761"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/145761\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/145762"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=145761"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=145761"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=145761"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
