Gemma O'Doherty Biography

Gemma O'Doherty is one of the most popular and richest Journalist who was born on August 24, 1968 in Ranelagh, Ireland.

Gemma O’Doherty (born 24 August 1968) is an Irish former journalist. As a former staff writer for the Irish Independent, O’Doherty worked in a range of areas, including on the criminal justice system and corruption, which allegedly led to her dismissal in 2014. As a political candidate, O’Doherty failed to secure the nominations required to run in the 2018 Irish presidential election, was unsuccessful in the 2019 European Parliament election in Ireland (with 1.85% of first preference votes in the Dublin constituency), and also unsuccessful in the 2020 Irish general election (with under 2% of the vote).

O’Doherty joined the Irish Independent in 1995 as a staff writer, later becoming Chief Features Writer. However, her highest-profile work concerned her reporting on Ireland’s criminal justice system and on allegations of corruption in the Irish police force. In 2013, Roy Greenslade in The Guardian, at the time she was fired from the Irish Independent, described her as “one of Ireland’s leading investigative journalists”, but mentioned concerns over the ethics of her newsgathering methods. Another Irish journalist has questioned the impact of her investigative work and her use of “theories of conspiracy”.
