How we got here

1982
A Family Business is Born
Sean O'Connor founded Sean J. O'Connor Financial Services in 1982 — a sole trader operation built on one simple belief: that people deserve honest, straightforward financial advice. Working alongside his wife Peggy and Peggy's sister Eileen, Sean built the business from the ground up, client by client, family by family. In an industry often driven by commission and complexity, Sean's approach was refreshingly different. He put the client first — always.
2010
The Next Generation Joins
Darragh O'Connor joined the family business in 2010, bringing fresh energy and a deep commitment to the same values his father had built the company on. Over the following decade, Darragh worked across every part of the business — learning the craft, building client relationships, and developing a genuine passion for Protection Insurance and the difference it makes to families at their most vulnerable moments.
2020
A New Vision — MyLife Insurance
At the height of COVID-19, Darragh took over the leadership of the business and rebranded it as MyLife Insurance. It was a bold move at an uncertain time — but it was also the right one. The rebrand wasn't just a new name. It was a statement of intent. Darragh's vision was clear: to build Ireland's leading Protection Insurance Brokerage — a company that combined the trust and values of a family business with the ambition, reach, and professionalism of a market leader.
2021
Barry Joins to Accelerate the Vision
Darragh's brother Barry O'Connor joined the business in 2021 — sharing the same passion, values, and ambition. Together, Darragh and Barry have been the driving force behind MyLife Insurance's growth: building a team of 14 dedicated professionals, investing in technology and digital presence, and making quality protection advice accessible to more Irish families than ever before.
Today
One of Ireland's Leading Protection Brokerages
MyLife Insurance is now one of Ireland's most recognised and highest-rated Protection Insurance Brokerages — with more than 500 five-star Google reviews and a team of 14 qualified professionals. But for Darragh and Barry, the numbers are secondary. What drives them is simpler: knowing that every family they work with is better protected than they were before. That's the mission Sean started in 1982 — and it's the one the team carries forward every day.

"My father built this business on trust, honesty, and doing right by people. That hasn't changed. What has changed is our ambition — we want to reach every family in Ireland who needs protection and doesn't have it yet."

What We Stand For

Our Values

These are not words on a wall. They are the principles that guide every conversation, every recommendation, and every decision we make.

Client First — Always

What is in the best interest of our customers is what we prioritise — not commission, not convenience, not what's easiest for us. Our clients' interests come first in every decision we make.

Integrity in Everything

We act with integrity and honesty in all our actions. We tell clients what they need to hear — not what they want to hear. We will recommend less cover if that is the right outcome, and we will tell you when you don't need a product.

Expert Guidance, Plain Language

Protection Insurance should not be confusing. We believe every family deserves to understand exactly what they are covered for — and why. We cut through the jargon and give clear, straightforward advice.

We Care About Outcomes

We measure our success not by the number of policies sold, but by the number of families we know are properly protected. A claim paid at the right time, to the right family, is what this business is really about.

Why It Matters

What it means to be a family business

When you speak to MyLife Insurance, you are not speaking to a call centre. You are speaking to a team of people who chose this work because they believe in it — led by a family who has been doing this for over four decades.

We are independent — not tied to any insurer, not incentivised to sell you any particular product

We have skin in the game — our reputation was built over 40 years and we protect it with every recommendation we make

We take a long-term view — we want to be your broker for life, not just for your first policy

We understand what is at stake — because we are a family too

Our Mission

To be the Protection Insurance partner every Irish family deserves.

We believe that every family in Ireland — regardless of income, age, or background — deserves access to honest, expert protection advice and the right cover at the right price.

Too many families are under-insured, wrongly insured, or not insured at all — not because they don't care, but because no one has taken the time to explain it clearly and find the right solution for them.

That is what MyLife Insurance exists to change.

What Our Clients Say

Only recently got income protection, Chloe was very helpful in setting me up and going through the process :) income protection is one of those types of insurances ppl rarely think of getting, but I would highly recommend it for anyone as it’s essential in case anything happens which impacts you from working, monthly fee is very reasonable:)
