About Me

Originally from Termonfeckin, I grew up in Mell, in the heart of the town. I then spent my teenage years living in Tullyallen. I now live in Monasterboice with my wife Patricia and our two young children, Rose and Anna. I went to school locally in Scoil Aonghusa, St. Oliver's Community College, and I studied Software Development at DKIT.

With over 20 years' experience in the technology and software sector, I'm a Product Owner for a successful homegrown Software company. Before working in software, I worked in the family business as the third generation of my family, involved in a well-known local clothing manufacturer started by my grandfather, Eddie Murphy, in the 1950’s

I'm a community and environmental activist. As a volunteer, activist and community organiser, I've spent the past 10 years working to empower my local community and to advance the principles of sustainable development and equality. I joined the Green Party in 2019 and since then have been Chair of the Louth East Meath Greens, along with being the constituency delegate at the National Policy Council. I am a founding member and vice chair of Drogheda Cycling, and I am a founding member and chair of Termonfeckin Sustainable Energy Community.

My academic background is in Business and in Software Development. I am also a musician and have played in bands since I was a teenager

I believe we need to connect the national net-zero ambition to the work being done at a local level. It's time for change, for a green and sustainable future for Drogheda and South Louth.
