Jérôme is married and has two sons.
An additional humanitarian operation to Ireland's sending of supplies to Europe between 1945 and 1950 was the welcoming of continental children. Around 1,100 children from France, Germany, Austria, Central Europe (Jews) and Poland (cadets from the Polish forces based in the UK) stayed in Ireland in the immediate post-war years in order to recuperate. The study seeks to analyse their stay in the country and how the Irish authorities and people dealt with them within a comparative European context.
