Paddy Duffy is a columnist, broadcaster and TV producer from Donegal, living in London.

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. He has been a youth worker and mentor for nearly ten years, helping to found SpunOut.ie, working with community projects around Ireland and tutoring political education to the Donegal Youth Council. He’s worked on TV shows such as University Challenge and Inside Obama’s White House, and is the proud owner of a plate with his name in bold capital letters and M&Ms from the Oval Office.
