She is currently the director of Irish Studies at Mary Immaculate College, University of Limerick. She is widely published in medieval Irish studies, on matters ranging from the introduction of Christianity to the taxation system of the eleventh century.

We are also delighted to announce the first introduction of Pete St. John's composition "March for Brian Boru" before the lecture.
