Dr. Terence Dooley, Author of the Big Houses of Ireland Feature

Dr. Terence Dooley M.A., Ph.D., H. Dip. Ed. is currently lecturing at the Department of Modern History NUI Maynooth. He was NUI Fellow in the Humanities, 2001-03. He is the author of The decline of the big house in Ireland: a study of Irish landed families, 1860-1960 (2001). He was commissioned in 2003 by the Irish Georgian Society and the Department of the Environment to write a report on the current state of Irish country houses. This report entitled A future for Irish historic houses? was launched by the Taoiseach, Mr. Bertie Ahern, TD in September 2003. The main recommendation of the report, the establishment of a national trust-type organisation for Ireland, has now become government policy. Dr. Dooley's latest work 'The land for the people': the land question in independent Ireland will be published by UCD Press later this year (2004).
