Paddy Duffy

Paddy Duffy is a columnist, broadcaster and television maker from Donegal. His debut book, Did That Actually Happen? was published in 2013, the same year he was crowned World Music Quiz Champion - he's equally proud of both achievements. He is a regular contributor to radio and television programmes on the BBC and RTE, has featured in The Huffington Post, The Journal.ie, The Irish Times, the Irish Examiner and most importantly, the Donegal News and has worked on TV shows such as Top Gear and University Challenge.

He has been a youth worker and mentor for nearly ten years, helping to found the SpunOut.ie organisation, working with community projects around Ireland and tutoring political education to the Donegal Youth Council.

He is currently working on a documentary series about a major figure in US politics (Hint: there's a motorway services in Offaly named after him.)
