Research interests are contained within the general areas of economic and regional development. These focus on contemporary patterns and processes of industrialisation and industrial restructuring, especially, within Ireland. The roles of fdi and the issues of linkages with SMEs and indigenous enterprise are central to this critical field of development.

Port-based industrial and trading developments are key issues for an island-based and open trading economy on the periphery of the European Union. Given the traditional roles of ports as growth centres for Irish regional development, the relationships between ports and their hinterlands are important agendas for research.

Ireland's membership of the European Union has generated major changes in national and regional development. The roles of the EU and Structural Funds in reshaping the national/regional economy as well as Ireland's evolving relationships with the EU are a fertile area for research.
Teaching interests emerge out of the above research agendas and relate to Economic Geography, Industrial Development and the New Industrial Spaces, Regional Planning and Development in Ireland, The Geography and Policy Agendas of the European Union.
