Aoife-Grace Moore is an Irish BBC journalist and political correspondent, from Derry. Based in the Republic of Ireland, she is best known for breaking the Oireachtas Golf Society scandal, "Golfgate", story with Paul Hosford for the Irish Examiner in 2020.
Background
A Derry native, Moore is the niece of Bloody Sunday victim Patrick Doherty. She is a graduate of Glasgow Caledonian University.
Career
Moore has worked for Press Association, and the Irish Examiner.
While working for the Examiner, Moore was the target of tweets as part of the Eoghan Harris Twitter scandal, and has been the subject of workplace sexual harassment.
In June 2020 Moore tweeted she did not understand that a motion in Stormont had no legal ramification. She was the political editor of the Irish Examiner at the time.
She has been commissioned to write a non-fiction book about Sinn Féin for Sandycove publishing.
Golfgate
Una Mullally described Moore and Hosford's Golfgate coverage as the "scoop of the year", and they shared the NewsBrands Ireland "Journalist of the Year Award".
