Fr Paul F Murphy, originally from Waterford, was ordained at the Cathedral of the Most Holy Trinity in the city in 1996. Photograph: Facebook, has been described as “an exceptional chaplain” who is “revered” by the troops at Renmore Barracks, where has served since joining the Defence Forces at the start of 2014.
He had previously served as a priest in Clonmel before spending six years at Dunhill and Fenor Parish in Tramore, Co Waterford, which he left at the end of 2013 to take up the chaplain’s role in Galway. He has been based at St Patrick’s Garrison Church, Renmore Barracks since then. “He would have an incredible reputation among the European militaries because of his involvement in that,” said Fr Hanrahan.
