The Life and Times of Noel Murphy A Biography by Con Hurley

This is a biography of a man whose life was embedded in the Ireland of the twentieth century and whose eighty-year career coincided with the huge changes in what was once Ireland's premier industry-cattle exporting. Noel Murphy, who passed away in his 95th year, just before this book went to print, was a big man in every sense of the word, and one who never failed to make an indelible impression on anyone who met him. Passionate in everything he undertook-whether as sportsman, family man, farmer or cattle dealer- he also had a deep ethical sense, building with his father Tim and his brother Donie a successful business based on principles that have been so sadly declining in Irish society in recent times.
