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 book is a study of Cathal Brugha published in June 2022 to mark the centenary of his death.
