He has written widely on modern Irish history, particularly on republicanism and aspects of the Irish revolution. His recent book, Rebels, has been adapted for the Abbey Theatre by Jimmy Murphy, and he worked with the film-maker Des Bell to adapt his biography of Frank Ryan into a docu-drama. Much of his recent research on the Easter Rising of 1916 has focused on the role of memory and commemoration in Irish history.view less
