I currently work as a journalist with the Sunday Times where I have written extensively on politics, crime, terrorism and intelligence issues amongst others. I regularly works as a consultant to the CBS, BBC, Channel 4 and RTE on a variety of issues. I have written a number of books and created and devised a number of TV series. In 2003, I devised the Underworld, a four part documentary series broadcast on RTE about organised crime. I also produced Sabhair ach Salach, a four part documentary series on organised crime for TG4.
