About Frank
Born and bred in Dublin, Frank's academic background is in Irish social and urban history, with particular emphasis on the city of Dublin in the early-modern period. In 2005 he completed a PhD which examined the growth and development of Ireland’s two major cities, Dublin and Belfast, during the course of the nineteenth century. Since then his attention has focussed mainly on Dublin in the eighteenth and nineteenth-century periods. He is the author of the recently published book, Dublin 1847: city of the Ordnance Survey.
