Moynihan is a graduate of Trinity College Dublin, where he earned a PhD in political science.[4]
He was a member of South Dublin County Council for the Palmerstown–Fonthill area from 2019 to 2024.[5][6] He was a candidate at the 2019 Dublin Mid-West by-election, caused by the departure of Fine Gael's Frances Fitzgerald to the European Parliament, in which Sinn Féin's Mark Ward won the seat.[6]
The Phoenix has characterised Moynihan as a "traditional Fianna Fáil type" who is committed to the idea of a United Ireland and the restoration of the Irish language. The Phoenix has also described Moynihan as an "Atlanticist" in terms of International Relations.[4]
