Dr Seán Doherty receives Keough-Naughton Library Research Award in Irish Studies at the University of Notre Dame

Dr Seán Doherty, assistant professor of music at DCU, has received the Keough-Naughton Library Research Award in Irish Studies at the University of Notre Dame. The award is jointly sponsored by the Keough-Naughton Institute for Irish Studies and Notre Dame International. It provides grant funding to assist scholars who travel to the Notre Dame campus to use the collections of the Hesburgh Libraries for research in all aspects of Irish studies. Dr Doherty will use this award to further his research on the tune collections of Captain Francis O’Neill (1848–1936), who bequeathed his personal library to Notre Dame.
