I must also thank Queen’s University Belfast’s The Institute of Irish Studies, under the guardianship of Professor Peter Gray, for creating such a welcoming and informative environment to learn about Ireland. These lists were created by the CAIN database, Brian McIlroy, Kevin Rockett and John Hill and I also wish to thank them vįor providing these valuable resources to the public. Compiling a comprehensive list of films that depict unionist characters was also made easier by consulting previous lists of films about the conflict. Jennie Carlsten, Dr Gordon Gillespie and Martin Lynch. I must also say thanks to some other people who have helped me track down some of the films included in the study or have generally offered valuable advice: Professor John Brewer, Tim Loane, Dr. I would also like to thank my fantastic examiners that saw me over the line, Dr. Sian Barber and Professor Dominic Bryan (in fact, the whole Bryan family deserve a mention) have been crucial throughout this period, and I am so glad I was able to choose such knowledgeable, kind and helpful people to aid my PhD journey. My PhD supervisors, Professor Cahal McLaughlin, Dr. My mother, Elva Gallagher, has been a rock throughout my entire life and was no different as I carried out this research. My fiancé, Anna Duffy, has always been there to pick me up. This book could not have been completed without the help of many others. It is also my father that this book is dedicated and I took great joy in writing, albeit briefly, about his favourite film, The Quiet Man. My father, Daniel Gallagher, will forever have a huge influence on my life, whereas my sons, Daniel and Tadhg, made what would have been one of the worst times of my life (the COVID years) one of the best. It is these people that I would like to acknowledge first and foremost. I started this project, which started out as doctoral research, with someone who is not here anymore and ended it with two people who are here and were not at the beginning.
