Well you won’t believe who I met today…
This is Willow Gene Rose Murphy, she’s our daughter, she’s a New Yorker, and she’s going to be an American Irish force of nature 🙌☘️🇺🇸🙌🥹
And 1336 days later, that’s a wrap. A major thank you to everyone I’ve had the chance to work with at Bank of Ireland over the past 4 years and especially to an amazing bunch of people on the innovation team. 👍🦄👍
So I guess this is my last official tweet in my 30’s.
Thanks for all the great experiences and memories 👋
See you all in my 40’s in about 60 seconds.
Here’s to many more 🙌
That was a strange weekend. My Aunt was finally laid to rest a month to the day after having passed away and sadly we couldn’t be with her.
The good thing I guess is that she’s finally where she needs to be now in Waterford and that’s a good thing.
Grief in covid is strange.
I need a favour twitter! There’s some pretty amazing Irish tech companies in today’s

However, it should come with a warning for those from Dublin living overseas not

As I approach my changing of decades from 30 to 40 and as I think back on my life so far I think the real wealth I’ve built up to date is in the people I know and love.
Thank you all for being a great bunch of folks.
Axing
@SBSTodayfm
is an absolute joke and I think a massive oversight from
@TodayFM
. If you’re in business, have been on the show or are an avid listener can we start tweeting to see if someone has sense to support this show elsewhere!

My wife bought me a delightful bowling shirt to wear on her birthday I however know that I’ve really been gifted the ultimate tech conference shirt to wear this year as much as possible 🙌🙌🙌🙌
Got delivery of the pool table and I have to say I feel that my new home office/coworking space I like to refer to as GWork ... is coming along pretty nicely indeed...
I can’t thank
@MrJohnFKennedy
enough for the advice, support & great chats over the past number of years and sad to see him step away from
@siliconrepublic

Sad news thread time 😢
Years ago a lot of people thought I had shares in
@Izakaya_Dublin

I described it as where Blade Runner would have a pint of guinness in it’s Japanese/Irish Cyber Punk basement location.

Sadly we didn’t get to Dublin city while home for Xmas so I asked our cabbie to drive past a few spots en route to the airport.
He got into it & gave us a micro sight seeing tour en route to the airport which was pretty pretty good!
See you all next time 👋
