Articles

Over the years I have written articles and contributed to radio programmes about a number of subjects:

Crime and Courts

I seem to spend a lot of my time in the local courts recently, keeping an eye on various criminal cases.

Morris tribunal

I covered the Morris tribunal since it first began hearing evidence in March 2003 for outlets as diverse as the Donegal Democrat, Ocean FM and Highland Radio to national media including RTE, the Irish Times, Newstalk and the Irish Star.

Local history and archaeology

I've had a longstanding interest in local history and archaeology, probably because I'm fortunate enough to come from a part of the country that is largely unspoilt, and still contains many ancient monuments.

Politics and Economics

The great majority of these articles were written as part of 'The Glen Man's Rambles', a weekly column I produced for the Donegal Democrat.

Sports

Some of these articles also appeared in the Glen Man's Rambles, others were sold as one-off feature pieces.

Social and Cultural

These articles include some of my earliest written pieces, written while I still lived in Chicago and was asked to produce a weekly column documenting an emigrant's experiences.

Eccentric

Occasionally I turn my hand to the lighter side of life, whether to mark April Fool's Day, or simply because I come across an unusual story or factoid.
