This is a biography of a living person which is unsourced, and after some searching, does not appear to meet notability. The article is a bit vague on its assertion of notability. The subject is the author of one book for which I cannot find any critical reviews and is held in 17 libraries worldwide. That doesn't appear to be a work of significant impact. The article also states he is a regular contributor to Ireland's Eye. I'm assuming the wikilink in the article was done in error and that really refers to this magazine. I can find no evidence support the assertion that he is contributor although I have no reason to doubt the assertion. However, being a contributor to a minor magazine is not notable, and especially so when there is no sourcing. The rest of the positions he holds are not notable either. In searching for soruces, [1], and [2] are the best I am able to find. That us well short of what is needed to establish notability. Whpq (talk) 13:38, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
