Donie Murphy

Donie Murphy is a local historian and farmer from Newmarket in Co Cork. For over forty years he has recorded local history and is author of the book ‘Men of the South’, a book on the War of Independence, published in 1991. He has held several positions throughout his career - soldier, policeman, security guard, quality controller, general worker, truck driver and van salesman. As a young man he became dissatisfied with a local employer and migrated to England where he became a policeman, a job that provided him with good experience and helped him later as a collector of history.
