I am a writer, researcher, and trainer who is available for freelance work and to provide information access training.
I am a co-director of Right to Know, an Irish transparency organisation that campaigns for greater information access.
Previous work includes roles as editor of the investigative journalism project called Noteworthy by Journal Media, and multiple senior reporting roles.
I lectured at the Technological University Dublin (formerly DIT) where I taught on the journalism, public relations, and political communications courses in the School of Media.
I worked for two years with the RTÉ Investigations Unit, where I helped establish the unit’s website and also worked on long-term television projects and major online data projects.
I am the author of two books, Snouts in the Trough: Politicians and Their Expenses and Revenge, a true crime book.
I was the winner of TV3 Story of the Year Award for 2009 following a series of stories in the sadly departed Sunday Tribune, which led to the resignation of Ceann Comhairle John O’Donoghue. A long-running series of articles that same year regarding expenses led to major changes in the way politicians were paid allowances.
I have been twice nominated as Political Journalist of the Year in the NewsBrands Journalism Awards, once as Business Journalist, and was a 2020 nominee for the Mary Raftery Prize.
I also write short stories, mainly speculative fiction and horror, and you can find some of them here.
