  1. Intelligence Unit: Designing Policies, Limerick City Art Gallery, 19th July - August 2nd 2013. (The Intelligence Unit is a collaboration between the School of Architecture and the Kemmy Business School involving an 8-week programme where graduates and faculty bring their collective ideas and experiences to consider future directions for Limerick. This work was undertaken in the context of the recent publication of the Limerick 2030 plan.)

  2. Health Futures Lab Advisory board member of the health futures lab. A University of Limerick Think Tank convened for a five week period between June 9th and July 9th

    1. Our goal was to propose a bold future vision for Limerick City to offer a detailed roadmap on how we might get there.
  3. IU: 2015 Culture Lab. In collaboration with the Limerick 2020 bid for European Capital of Culture, we set up an interdisciplinary research station at Ormston House in Limerick city, to find new ways to think about Limerick and its culture. As in previous years, the Intelligence Unit (IU) is based on design thinking as a methodology, and brings a group of researchers and students from different disciplines together to create valuable research and insights into the dynamics of culture in Limerick and its region to form part of the overall Limerick 2020 bid proposal. I led this project with my colleagues Drs Grainne Hassett (SAUL), Annmarie Ryan (KBS) and Niamh NicGhabhann (Irish World Academy of Music and Dance).

  4. We Couldn’t Understand the Peace. The sight of refugees in Europe from 2015 recalled for some people that we had a refugee crisis in Ireland within living memory. In the first few summers of The Troubles in Northern Ireland, 1969-1972, refugees from Catholic areas came over the border to escape the tension surrounding the Orange celebrations of The Twelfth. The numbers peaked at 10,000 in 1972. But, by 1972, the refugees were no longer being housed by the Army in camps, instead they were being put up by local authorities and educational institutions. One such institution was Glenstal Abbey - a Benedictine monastery in 500 acres of farmland in East Limerick. The monastery also houses a boys’ private secondary school. On July 11th, 1972, the monks received a call telling them that 172 women and children were on the way and to get ready. The monks had the assistance of the local Civil Defence. Mostly women and children arrived because the men stayed behind to protect their homes from Protestant mobs. First Broadcast on RTE Radio 1, Saturday 3rd September at 1pm.
