Fionnuala Murphy
Director / Trustee
I began my career as a journalist, working for a large regional newspaper group in the midlands. From there, having completed an MA in Public Relations, I moved to the aid agency GOAL. Here, I focused on demonstrating GOAL’s impact in the countries in which it worked through media relations.
I joined NCBI (National Council for the Blind of Ireland) in 2006 and gained invaluable operations experience in the early years of my time there, working on internal communications and on corporate, advocacy and fundraising campaigns. I became the Head of the communications team and spent 18 months also heading up the fundraising team. In this dual role my focus was on the strategic development of NCBI and in increasing its communications and fundraising capacity to achieve those aims.
I left NCBI in October 2018 to spend time with my young family. I live in Maynooth, Co. Kildare, and I am an active member of Maynooth Community First Responders.
