Channel 4 News Articles

On St Patrick’s Day 2010, I was asked by Channel4 News in the UK to write a brief report on the extent to which emigration and the recession were over-shadowing the festivities across the country. In September, Channel4 again approached me to write a piece on the mood in Ireland, as the IMF were due to arrive. Since then, I’ve written a further few reports on the political and economic developments of the country.

The articles and the URLs of the articles are set out below.

About Me

Between 2005 and 2009, I headed the research and policy development function of an industry representative organisation, based in Dublin. Prior to joining the business sector, I worked in a number of academic research institutions in the UK and Ireland, where I wrote on the politics of urban regeneration and city governance. I hold a doctorate in Politics from the University of Manchester, a Masters degree in Social Research Methods also from Manchester, and a Masters in Political and Public Communications from DCU. I am a member of the Public Relations Institute of Ireland and the Irish Political Studies Association.
