Mr John Kearon |
There was no tender competition due to the specialised nature of the research project. |
Research on vessels linked to Roger Casement. The work involved a considerable amount of research both in Kerry and London by an expert on boats of the period. The National Museum of Ireland was consulted but did not have the required expertise. However, it suggested Mr. Kearon who had the skills and experience required. The report findings were for internal use and, therefore, have not been published. |
