About Fiona Slevin

This website, the various articles and the books are labours of love. All have emerged from research conducted over decades. I do try to maintain the website, but please excuse any errors or out-of-date links.
Please feel free to contact me - especially if you have any questions or stories that relate to Mohill and Leitrim history. And if you'd like to read more than the articles here, please do buy the book.

______________________ 

I grew up and went to school in Mohill. I currently live in Dublin, though spend as much time as possible in Mohill. After a career in business, start-ups and consulting, in 2024 I completed a PhD in History at UCD. My research focuses on how Mohill and other small rural towns developed in the aftermath of the Famine. In 2023, I was awarded the ESHSI New Researchers Prize for my research on women's agency and work in the post-Famine era. I am now splitting my time between business work and being an active advocate and consultant in history and heritage.
