The Irish left - People - Eoin Ó Murchú





Eoin Ó Murchú

The appalling Eoin Ó Murchú worked for RTE for years, despite his toxic politics.
It beggars belief the positions this guy has supported and still supports.



On Twitter he openly describes himself as a communist.
He seems to have a second account.


  

Member of Official Sinn Fein

The Lost Revolution, by Brian Hanley and Scott Millar, says Eoin Ó Murchú was on the Army Council of the Official IRA.
It says that in 1972 he went to Lebanon, where he met Abu Jihad to try to organise a shipment of arms to the Official IRA from the PLO.
Both groups were totalitarians at war with liberal parliamentary democracies.

Member of Communist Party of Ireland

Sneering at Jean McConville's family

Jean McConville was a widowed mother of 10, who was abducted and murdered by the IRA in 1972. Her body was not returned. Her 10 children were then orphaned, tearfully split up from each other, and sent to orphanages and homes, their lives ruined. Her body was not found until 2003.

  

In 2011, Eoin Ó Murchú responded with cruelty and brutality to an email from Jean McConville's family.
He said to them: "Please do not send any more of this obnoxious crap to me."
From here.


  

Supporter of Putin's Russia

In the modern era, O Murchu has been an open supporter of Russia's brutal, barbaric assault on Ukraine.
  

In March 2022, he tweets sick Russian propaganda.



After the Bucha massacre by Russian troops in March 2022, this Irish communist suggests the massacre is fake.
He follows this up by tweeting Russian regime propaganda about the massacre.



On 3 Oct 2023 he declares that "Russia's victory benefits the whole world" and Ukraine's desire to live and not be destroyed is "imperialism".

Banned in Iran: This site is banned in Iran.

Blocked on X by the regressive left and Islamists: I love debate. I love ideas. But the Western left and their friends the Islamic right do not return the favour. Their response to opposing ideas, whether expressed politely or robustly, is often to block. See Who blocks me on X.

I like debate. But I do have rules. See Who I block on X.

Twitter is broken, 2016 to 2022: I am on X (formerly Twitter) at markhumphrys. Twitter was a great place for debate before 2016. You could meet everyone in the world, and argue about ideas. Starting in 2016, Twitter became increasingly broken. It became full of reporting and bans and censorship. In 2019, Twitter even started shadowbanning me for no reason that was ever explained, or could be appealed. By 2022, everyone was looking for a better place to debate.

Twitter is saved, 2022: In 2022 Elon Musk bought Twitter and started to end the censorship. It looks great so far. Twitter (renamed to X) seems to be saved.

Campaigns to silence me: I now have no less than two entries on the Banned List at Academics for Academic Freedom. This is a list of "individuals who were banned from speaking at universities in the UK and Ireland, or faced campaigns to silence them, or sack them for their views." The two campaigns to silence me were the BLM protests in 2021 (unsuccessful) and the Israel debate in 2024 (partially successful, in that it drove the debate off campus).
