Career

Beyond academia, Ferriter has developed a public profile in media and politics as an advocate of public history and the greater availability of archival material. He was appointed a member of the Expert Advisory Group on Centenary Commemorations by the Taoiseach in 2011. He has also served on the Board of the National Library of Ireland and as a member of the Irish Archives Advisory Council. He worked on multiple television projects, presenting a three-part television series, The Limits of Liberty, and later co-writing the 2018 documentary Keepers of the Flame.[6] In 2013, he publicly supported the political campaign Democracy Matters, which opposed proposals to abolish the Irish Senate. He was also centrally involved in the campaign to retain history as a core subject on the Irish Junior Certificate curriculum. In 2014, he began writing as a weekly columnist for The Irish Times.
In March 2019, Ferriter was elected a member of the Royal Irish Academy, Ireland's highest academic honour, for being "the most consistently innovative interpreter of the modern Irish historical experience".[7]
