Biography
I hold degrees from Trinity College Dublin and the University of Oxford, and was a Fellow of Magdalen College, Oxford until 2024. My PhD research on employment law and human rights was funded by the Irish Research Council, and I have conducted policy research projects funded by the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission (IHREC) and FÓRSA trade union. My research has been published in the Modern Law Review, the Industrial Law Journal and the European Labour Law Journal, and has been cited in the Oireachtas.
