Patrick’s third book, Gatsby – Death of an Irishman, is out! A new take on F. Scott Fitzgerald and his search for identity in the centennial of The Great Gatsby.

He published his first book, Crowdfunding the Revolution: The First Dáil Loan and the Battle for Irish Independence, in 2020.

Critically well-received, the book was reviewed by Paschal Donohoe, Irish Minister for Finance, in History Ireland:

“The quality of writing and the pace of storytelling ensure that this is not a niche or specialist work of history. This is a compelling read. I wish I had written it myself”.

Patrick was invited to make a courtesy visit to present the book to President Michael D. Higgins.

His second book, Revolution at the Waldorf: America and the Irish War of Independence, was launched in Ireland in December 2022, and released in the United States in April 2023.

Patrick has written articles for the Irish Times, been interviewed for national media and has been a guest on leading history and economic podcasts. He has presented at the Dublin Book Festival, the American Irish Historical Society in New York, the Princess Grace Irish Library in Monaco, and at the national conference of the American Conference for Irish Studies.

Patrick has worked in business for most of his career and is back in his native Killarney after spells in Dublin, London, New York and France.
