Looking for me?

• I am back on campus for the 2023/24 academic year, with most of my teaching activity coordinated via MS Teams. If you are one of my students, you will receive an invite/notification of the Teams group(s) you belong to.
• E-mail address: paul dot barry at setu dot ie (this is the best way to get me).
