Says McCarthy of Murphy, “I think it is disgraceful to go for trial by media. I do not believe them. I am working two-and-a-half years with Carolyn and her reputation and professionalism is impeccable.”

Similarly, other members of the Glengarriff community have come out in support of Murphy’s service to O’Hara over the years.

Mary Twomy, a retired school teacher from Bantry and long time friend of O’Hara, notes Murphy’s positive impact on the aging actress’s life: “I can see the difference in Maureen since Carolyn has taken over. I saw a massive change in Maureen's demeanour, and her quality of life. She was alive, and content and had peace of mind. You couldn't but notice the difference."

However, O’Hara’s nephew Charlie Fitzsimons, who now holds co-power of attorney for his aunt, accuses Murphy of not involving the family enough in decision making situations. Murphy insists that every decision has gone through O’Hara and her advisors, and that she has the paper records to prove it all.
