Hello, my name is Ian Kenneally and welcome to the site. I am a historian currently researching a PhD in Irish history at NUI Galway, while I am also editor of The Revolution Papers. I have studied in University College Cork where I received a master’s degree. I have varied research interests but for now I am researching aspects of the history and influence of the newspaper press in Ireland.
My most recent book is 'From The Earth, A Cry: the story of John Boyle O'Reilly'. I am the author of two earlier books, 'The Paper Wall: newspapers and propaganda in Ireland 1919-1921' and 'Courage and Conflict: forgotten stories of the Irish at War'. My latest radio documentary is a series called 'The Story of Custume Barracks', a history of the military barracks in Athlone. Earlier documentaries include, 'You are to be Shot at Daybreak', a programme about the Connaught Rangers.
I have also contributed to a number of edited collections such as 'Irish Journalism before Independence' (Manchester University Press), 'Independent Newspapers - A History' (Four Courts Press), 'Periodicals and Journalism in Twentieth Century Ireland' (Four Courts Press), the forthcoming 'Atlas of the Irish Revolution' (Cork University Press, due March 2017), as well as co-editing a study of the regional press in Ireland (Four Courts Press, due 2017).
