In 2012–2018, among retired staff, the most prolific book authors that we know of are Dom Colbert,  Pat Finnegan and John Waddell, each with two monographs. In 2018 Dom Colbert has published two books of memoirs recounting his early life  and later experiences in  providing voluntary medical care in some of the world’s poorest and most troubled regions.  Pat Finnegan has written extensively the late 19th-century Land War.  Prior to the appearance of his 2014 volume on Loughrea (above), he published, in 2012, The Case of the Craughwell Prisoners during the Land War in County Galway, 1879–85 (see right). John Waddell's two books (2014, 2018) have focussed on  connections between material culture and literary and oral traditions.
