Biography:
| Eoin Carolan is a barrister and lecturer in law at University College Dublin. He is an expert in Irish constitutional law, administrative law and media law. Eoin is a graduate and former Scholar of Trinity College Dublin, where he lectured constitutional and administrative law for a number of years before joining UCD. He is also a graduate of the University of Cambridge and a former Visiting Researcher at Harvard Law School. He has authored or co-authored a number of publications, including "The Right to Privacy: A Doctrinal and Comparative Analysis" (Round Hall, 2008), "The Irish Constitution: Governance and Values" (eds) (Round Hall, 2008), "The New Separation of Powers: A Theory for the Modern State" (Oxford University Press, 2009) and "Media Law in Ireland" (Bloomsbury, 2010). He was awarded the 2011 Kevin Boyle Prize for Outstanding Legal Scholarship for "The New Separation of Powers: A Theory for the Modern State". The book was also shortlisted for the 2010 Peter Birks Prize for Oustanding Legal Scholarship. It has been described as "thought-provoking and based on consummate scholarship"
(Tom Flynn, University of Edinburgh, Modern Law Review), "a book that deserves to be widely read and
widely debated" which "has made a lasting contribution to the
discipline" (N.W Barber, University of Oxford, Public Law), and as "an impressive work" which contains "the strongest critique I have yet encountered of the Montesquieu orthodoxy on the existence of only three branches of government" (John Power, University of Melbourne, Administration and Society). Eoin welcomes enquiries from prospective PhD students in the areas of constitutional law and theory, human rights law, media law, administratve law and jurisprudence.
