Aoife Murphy is a Senior Correspondent at Clovers Report, where she covers international affairs, European policy, and the Irish financial landscape. Based in Dublin, her reporting spans Central Bank of Ireland decisions, ISEQ market movements, EU regulatory developments, and the diplomatic relationships that shape Ireland's role in both European and transatlantic affairs.
Aoife began her career at a regional newspaper in Cork, covering county council politics and District Court proceedings before joining a Dublin-based financial news service in 2014. She spent five years on the business desk reporting on Irish banking recovery, FDI announcements, and the economic implications of Ireland's role as a European headquarters for major US multinationals. She joined Clovers Report to help build a newsroom that could make complex European and financial stories accessible for Irish readers.
She has reported from EU Council meetings in Brussels, covered IMF Article IV consultations on Ireland, and interviewed policymakers involved in OECD tax framework negotiations that directly affect Ireland's corporate tax model. Her reporting on the 2023 Irish housing supply crisis was cited by Oireachtas committee discussions.
Aoife holds a degree in European Studies from Trinity College Dublin. Outside the newsroom, she follows Munster Rugby with an intensity she describes as 'healthy' and her colleagues describe as 'concerning.'
