I am an Irish person. An elected public-representative and the holder of a Ph.d in Economics. I have a number of peer reviewed journal articles in the area of Consumer Demand Analysis.

I am also interested in the history of elections both in Ireland at local and national government level and also in Scotland and in Northern Ireland.

I am particularly interested in the history of the founders of the Fianna Fáil party on whom I have written some articles on this site.

I also have epilepsy and highlighting awareness of those with the condition is of interest to me as is health policy in general.
