    Nothing has been announced at this stage and I haven't seen the position advertised yet.

    In the meantime Professor Hill and Professor Lennon seem to have it all pretty well in hand.

    no the post was advertised and closed sometime in early july so there should be a general consensus by now!

    agreed, JH and CL have been doing a great job...

    Is it Luke Gibbons or do you have another new lecturer? I think there was a history lecturer from Galway who's moving to Maynooth...

    The new Head of Department is Marian Lyons, who was acting Head of History at St Pat's Drumcondra for the past year. She is a medieval and early Modern historian and did her PhD in Maynooth a number of years ago under Colm Lennon. She will be a welcome addition to the department.
