THE SOCIAL NETWORK:Emily Gillmor-Murphy from Enniskerry in Co Wicklow was joined by her boyfriend, Feidhlim Ó Dubhlaing, for the launch of her first book, You I, at Dubray Books on Grafton Street on Thursday evening.
Ó Dubhlaing, from Naas, is doing a research masters in engineering in UCD. Gillmor-Murphy who “majored in English and history” is due to graduate from UCD this September. The book is part of a three-book deal which was brokered by her literary agent, Marianne Gunn O’Connor, with Transworld.
The author’s two sisters, Rachel and Lucy, helped her to meet and greet guests. Lucy is a milliner, based in Enniskerry, and is busy preparing for a trade show in London in a few months.
Enniskerry was well represented by Alice Murphy, who is studying film at DBS, and Darragh McCoy who is studying engineering at DIT. Graham Barry from Co Cork and David Graham from Co Clare, both of whom work at Google, also lent their support.
