About Me

I am an independent researcher/ writer with an MA in Irish History from Queen’s University, Belfast (2014).  My research/writing focuses on modern Irish history, particularly the revolutionary period (1916-1923). I have had articles published in History Ireland, the Irish News, Saothar: Journal of the Irish Labour History Society and the Irish Story website.  I am also a regular contributor to Ireland’s Own magazine. My latest article ‘Michael Collins and the British press, 1918-1922’ has recently been published in the July/Aug 2020 issue of History Ireland.
