Research interests
My main research interests are 19th and 20th century Irish political, cultural, religious and missionary history. I have undertaken extensive research in the following areas: Irish political violence, the Irish Revolution, 1912-23, compensation during the Irish Revolution, the Irish Volunteers, North-South relations, the Northern Ireland Troubles, church-state relations, Irish Catholicism, and ecumenism. I welcome prospective graduate students in these fields.My most recently completed project is a study of the rebuilding of Dublin's O'Connell Street after the Irish Civil War: https://doi.org/10.1017/S0963926824000518
