'Ambitious, experimental and sprawling, FrielDays is exactly the sort of artistic work that needs public funding to drive debate on what sort of society we want to live in'. Read my article in today's Irish Times on FrielDays and the fickle world of arts funding. www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2026...

Opinion: There’s a bitter irony in the failure of a celebration of Friel’s work to get funding
The playwright understood better than most how fickle the world of arts funding could be

📣 It’s publication day for the updated, paperback edition of 'Circle of Stars: A History of the EU - And The People Who Made It'. I've been bowled over by the response to the hardback and can't wait for the book to reach an even wider readership @YaleBooks yalebooks.co.uk/book/9780300...

'However frustrated Bloom would have been over the project’s delays, he would have nodded vigorously at its proposed route, especially the section from Glasnevin to Mater station on his own Eccles Street.' My @theguardian.com article on Joyce, Dublin & MetroLink: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Dublin is the only large European capital without a metro: what would Leopold Bloom make of that? | Dermot Hodson
In James Joyce’s Ulysses, the city’s most famous fictional resident was as frustrated by its transport links in 1904 as many of us are today, says professor of political economy Dermot Hodson

'Ulysses’ fixation with transport...doesn’t just provide colour and comic relief. It carries James Joyce’s own hopes for a new Ireland that achieves its potential.' As Bloomsday nears, read my article on Dublin's controversial metro project in @theguardian.com: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
