==Background==
Born in Belleeks, County Armagh,Murphy was an active Irish republican paramilitary from his late teens. In March 1972 he was arrested in Dundalk regarding an assault, and was sentenced to two years in prison after the Gardaí found a loaded revolver in his car. Murphy was imprisoned in the Curragh military jail but escaped in October 1972, and was not recaptured until May 1973. In June 1976 he was imprisoned again, receiving a three-year sentence for firearms offences and a one-year sentence for Provisional Irish Republican Army membership, both sentences to run concurrently. In July 1983 Murphy was arrested in the US, after attempting to buy a consignment of M60 machine guns to be shipped to Ireland for use by the Irish National Liberation Army. He received a five-year prison sentence, but returned to Ireland in December 1985 after being released early.
In the late 1980s Murphy began investing in property, and formed a company named Emerald Enterprises in 1990. He bought the ''Emerald Bar'' public house in Dundalk for IR£100,000, and it later became a meeting place for dissident republicans. Other investments included of land in Drogheda bought for IR£52,000 in 1995, and his company won contracts for an IR£11m development at Dublin City University and the multi-million pound International Financial Services Centre in Dublin's docklands.〔
