GARETH MULVENNA PhD:

Gareth Mulvenna, a native of North Belfast and a young man in his early thirties, completed a PhD in Queens University in 2009.  The Doctorate was in Contemporary Irish Politics and the bulk of his research was focused on the Protestant/Loyalist/Unionist community in Belfast.  He is currently at the forefront of raising awareness of the Protestant working class experience in Belfast from pre Troubles to post conflict.  Gareth has written extensively recently on the subject and we are honoured to reproduce some of his articles on longkeshindeout.
