My early research was centred on the history and politics of the Irish Republican Army (IRA), particularly in the inter-war period. I also examined Irish republicanism in the United States in both the post-revolutionary era and during the modern Irish conflict. I co-authored an award-winning study of the Official IRA and the Workers Party. It was that research which drew me to examine the impact of the Northern Irish 'Troubles' on southern Ireland, which was the subject of my last monograph, published by Manchester University Press in hardback during 2018 and in paperback in 2019. I have published widely on republicanism, radicalism and class in a variety of journals, collections and popular media. I am currently writing on trans-national aspects of the Irish struggle for independence 1916-23. This will include an examination of how ideas about race, class and gender impacted on the revolutionary generation. As part of that research during 2019 an article on the IRA's gunrunning networks appeared in the History Ireland Global Irish Revolution special issue, which I also co-edited. During 2020 I published articles on Irish American trade union leader Mike Quill and on Jews and the Irish Revolution. I have also written a short book 'Crime and Republicanism in Ireland' for a series entitled 'Crime in Irish History', to be published by Cork University Press in 2021. I am currently writing chapters on dock labourers, seafarers and maritime organising during the Irish Revolution and on the working class and Irish politics for forthcoming collections. I am currently researching the history of the Irish far-right, the relationship between Irish republicanism and Zionism and the impact of the Northern Troubles on the Irish republic during the 1980s.
