    support this project

    It is a joy to work on The Evolution of Ireland project, but also very hard work at the best of times. You could contribute greatly to the completion of this project simply by following me on Instagram and Twitter and liking my posts, reading my blogs and MiniMags and sharing them, or just by sharing this website using the social media buttons below.

    If you would like to go even further, you could make a financial contribution to this project.

    I am currently running one last crowdfunding campaign to raise €15,000 to complete Part One of the book. A variety of rewards are available for contributions from €10 to €500, but contributors are also free to make a contribution of any size they choose, and even to contribute in the form of a monthly donation rather than a one-off payment.
