About Us

A long time ago, fadó fadó, there lived some researchers who dreamt of making a difference in their home country – an island off the coast of Europa.  And so, they set about mastering their trade and honing their skills until, together, they came to embody the very best of their ancient art and craft ...

Some dreams do come true.  We now provide world-class research services fused with a deep passion for understanding our country, our fellow citizens and our clients’ customers.  Bernadette Coyne is our Managing Director: our competitors quake at her name. Gerard O’Neill is our Chairman: he eats data for breakfast.

And they’re not alone: Mark Nolan (our deputy managing director) makes research sing; Wendy Kehoe turns percentages into poetry; Niamh O’Gorman sees the steps after next.  And Sylvia Langtree innovates where others hesitate.

And that’s just the directors.  You should meet the rest of our crew.  We hope you will.  When would suit you?
