The following is a selection of highlights from Dr Éamon Phoenix’s extensive bodies of work.
The foundation, over time, intends to create a more comprehensive resource that will catalogue much of Éamon’s legacy. To this website, we have added details and links to videos, books, writings, his broadcasting legacy, his work with the Irish Government’s Expert Advisory Group on Centenary Commemorations. Also included are examples of his famous writings with the Irish News, including the historically vital Cabinet Papers, and the On This Day column.
In future, we will build out the archive to include additional works, including content As Gaelige. But for now, whether you are a professional or amateur historian, academic, student or an interested member of the public, this is a key resource for you to explore.
