Media

I do a fair bit of media commentary on Irish public policy. Here are pieces I’ve written for the public, recordings of a good portion of the interviews I’ve done, and links to print interviews. I’ve done many more, but these are the ones I have links for.

Media enquiries can be forwarded to my email, or my office number, 353-6123-3611, which takes a voicemail, that ends up in my email. Urgent queries can be channeled through Ms. Grainne O’Connell at +353-61-20-2284.
