Minimizing oblique errors for robust estimating
(Irish Mathematical Society, 2008)The slope of the best fit line from minimizing the sum of the squared oblique errors is shown to be the root of a polynomial of degree four. We introduce a median estimator for the slope and, using a case study, we show ... -

Loyalists and loyalism in a southern Irish community, 1921– 22 (pre-published version)
(Cambridge University Press, 2016)A second Irish Grants Committee met for the first time in October 1926 to deal with claims for compensation from distressed southern Irish loyalists. By the time it had ceased its work, the committee had dealt with over ... -
'Make the terror behind greater than the terror in front'? Internal discipline, forced participation, and the I.R.A., 1919–21 (pre-published version)
(Cambridge University Press, 2018)This article will explore two relatively neglected features of the Irish Republican Army’s (I.R.A.) guerrilla war between 1919 and 1921: internal discipline and forced participation. The gravest disciplinary measure was ... -

Sex in the civitas: early Irish Intellectuals and their vision of women (pre-print version)
(Palgrave Macmillan, 2013)Given arguments that Irish poets and churchmen could be educated together, this paper quarries ecclesiastical sources for stereotypes informing female depictions in narrative literature. -

Analytic moduli spaces of simple sheaves on families of integral curves (Pre-print version)
(Wiley, 2013)We prove the existence of fine moduli spaces of simple coherent sheaves on families of irreducible curves. Our proof is based on the existence of a universal upper bound of the Castelnuovo–Mumford regularity of such sheaves, ... -
Solving cubic equations in two variables
(Irish Mathematical Society, 2007)After recalling a geometric construction of all Pythagorean triples of integers, the same idea is applied to find rational solutions of cubic equations in two variables. This leads to the definition of the Mordell-Weil ... -

Contested memories: revisiting the battle of Mount Street Bridge, 1916
(British Journal for Military History, 2017)The Battle of Mount Street Bridge, 26 April 1916, was the most successful rebel military engagement of the 1916 Easter Rising in Dublin. Though it accounted for something in the region of half of the total British casualties ... -

Age constraints on Precambrian glaciations and the subdivision of Neoproterozoic time
(Subcommission on Neoproterozoic Stratigraphy, 2005)A review of age constraints on the Neoproterozoic glaciations suggests that at least four distinct glacial events can be recognised, three of which appear to be global. These are (in order from oldest to youngest) the ...
