AUTHOR AND HISTORIAN
1999 - Master of Arts (Hons) Degree in History by the National University of Ireland, Cork.
I'm the author of a dozen books. My research areas include 19th and early 20th century Ireland, especially the Landed Ascendancy and politics; the Napoleonic Wars; Irish involvement in World War I.
I have a third level certificate in Irish archaeology and am a qualified tour guide.
I am available to give lectures on history and photography subjects.
A minor claim to fame is that I was interviewed for 'Pravda' in 1990 (then the biggest newspaper in the world).
Another is that one of my photographs was chosen as the 2014 Irish Christmas stamp. It sold 3.7 million copies.
