Paul Murray is an author, historian and Barrister. He was educated
at NUI, Galway, Trinity College, Dublin and the King's Inns. His
first Ph.D Contested Borders and Minority Rights: The Partition of
Ireland in Comparative Perspective (National University of Ireland,
Galway, 2004) analyses the Irish partition question, with
particular reference to the post-World War One boundary settlements
which emanated from the Treaty of Versailles.
His second Ph.D The Data Privacy/National Security Balancing
Paradigm as Applied In The U.S.A. and Europe: Achieving an
Acceptable Balance (Trinity College, Dublin, 2017) examines the
normative tension between state security and data retention
obligations on the one had, and privacy rights and fears concerning
mass surveillance on the other.
He holds a Higher Diploma in Education, an LL.B, in addition to an
LL.M in Law, Governance and Technology, all from the National
University of Ireland, Galway. He was an Irish Research Council
Scholar from 2000 to 2003.
' - as a contribution to the historiographies of the British state, Northern Ireland, and British-Irish relations Murray's book remains valuable. Indeed, Paul Murray has succeeded in writing what will surely long remain the standard work on the Irish Boundary Commission. In closing a large gap in the literature on Irish partition, he deserves our gratitude.' T. K. Wilson, St. Andrews University, Journal of British Studies, Vol. 51, No. 2 (April 2012) 'the study in depth of the Commission is original and makes this book a most valuable contribution to our understanding of the Partition' Clogher Record 2011 'Murray unravels the complex story of the Irish Boundary Commission... Highly recommended.' Choice May 2012 'As we embark on a decennium of commemorations, Paul Murray has produced a book that is both timely and relevant - The author has written a constructive and authoritative analysis of events leading up to the establishment of the Commission. His examination of the evidence submitted to the Commission is detailed and comprehensive. He concludes by making comparisons between the Boundary Commission and similar organisations in Europe, thus raising the profile of the Commission from the backwaters of Irish history and placing it in an international context.' Donegal Annual, 2012 No. 64
