Master of revealing the past - Sean J Murphy
Sean J Murphy is one of a rare breed - a full-time historian. Such beings are scarce indeed in Ireland outside the universities. But he has managed to carve a career and a living from the past for the past four decades. He has applied his expertise to digging into the roots of those who come to him looking to draw up family trees. He is available to the producers of radio and television programmes to speak on issues such as Irish surnames and the legend of Molly Malone. Sean knows his way too around some of the most important collections of manuscripts in the country.
