He graduated with degrees in philosophy (B.A., B.Ph., M.A., L.Ph.) and in theology (B.D.) from Maynooth, before studying applied computing at the University of Limerick. Mr. Luddy traveled to New York City, receiving an M.Phil. from Fordham University in 2004. Mr. Luddy shares a swamp in Haverhill with his wife Meredith.
