John Murphy (1925-2015) – Farmer & Gardener – Waterville, Co. Kerry
John has no interest in parliamentary affairs. “Feck politics, amen”, he suggests. His particular gripe is against the ‘rules and all kinds of feckology that came in when he and his wife tried to set up a small caravan park in the 1980s. One can see why he got on with Brendan Behan - 'an ordinary working man like the rest of us.’
