Fintan Drury

Fintan Drury was a journalist with RTÉ in the 1980s. Before co-anchoring Morning Ireland for its first three years, he was a correspondent in Northern Ireland and reported from Britain, Europe, Africa, and the United States. In 1985, he volunteered in the then largest refugee camp in the world, in Darfur, with GOAL, an international humanitarian organization that delivers emergency life-saving aid. A longtime activist on migration, he’s written extensively on the subject. In 2016 he volunteered in a refugee camp in Athens, which led to a fifteen-part series in The Irish Times on the diary of a Syrian refugee. His 2025 book, “Catastrophe: Nakba II," published by the Irish Academic Press, was released to critical acclaim and was shortlisted for Best Non-Fiction Book of the Year at the An Post Irish Book Awards. Recently Fintan wrote "Genocide: Sponsoring The Genocide In Palestine". Fintan is also chair SARI (Sport Against Racism in Ireland), which "harnesses the power of sport to embrace difference, celebrate diversity and promote social inclusion across Ireland."
