As Director of the Irish Military Archives for a decade, Daniel has led one of the country’s most sensitive and historically significant archival institutions. His work has placed him at the forefront of national and international projects involving complex records environments, regulatory compliance and cultural heritage preservation and promotion. Combined with his experience as an army officer with twenty-three years experience at home and overseas, his understanding of the management of sensitive and security-classified records is unrivalled.

Daniel draws on deep expertise in both managing current records for operational effectiveness and governance, and in leveraging archival collections for identity, accountability and long-term value. He has advised a wide range of government departments and organisations on records frameworks, data protection, archival facility planning, digitisation and digital preservation. His contributions to policy development, publishing and academic programmes—including postgraduate teaching and mentoring—underscore his thought leadership within the sector.
