He is a consultant to the Bank of England, Deputy Chair of the Higher Education Authority, and a research fellow at University College Dublin’s Geary Institute.

Economist & Author Stephen recently made a RTÉ radio documentary ‘We couldn’t understand the Peace’ with Ian Kenneally and Ronan Kelly about a period in 1972 when ‘refugees’ came from Belfast to stay in the Benedictine Monastery Glenstal Abbey. The story is fascinating and uncovered a lesser known side of the history of the Troubles.
A critic of Ireland’s austerity regime, Stephen builds and estimates macroeconomic models in his academic work. Stephen has two PhDs in economics but still manages to make sense.
