Ciarán Mather
Multimedia Journalist for the Leinster Leader newspaper in Kildare.
Former journalist for DMG Media Ireland, Newsday.ie and the Kildare Nationalist newspaper.
I have experience in the fields of news reporting, Microsoft Office, PR writing, SEO, Adobe Photoshop, interviewing, working to deadlines and using Teeline Shorthand to quickly take down notes.
I enjoy writing about mental health, science, politics, crime and technology. However, I also have a soft spot for art, music and film.
I am also a published author: Timeless in Kildare, an anthology of short stories, essay and poetry based around County Kildare by the writing group InkTank, can be found in Farrell & Nephew's Bookshop and Newbridge Silverware in Newbridge, and in Woodbine Books in Kilcullen. We followed this up with another anthology book, Let Me Tell You Something, in 2020.
