He was an assistant in the antiquarian department of the government ordnance survey of Ireland from 1834 to 1841, when he was employed by the royal Irish academy and by Trinity college, Dublin, in transcribing and cataloguing their Gaelic MSS. He also rendered valuable assistance in the publication of the Irish archaeolo-gical society, and was a member of the council of the Celtic society. In 1853 he was engaged with Dr. O'Donovan, under the Brehon law commission, to transcribe and translate ancient laws from originals in Trinity college and the British museum; these he had himself in great part discovered, and he was the first modern scholar able to decipher and explain them. (See Brehon Laws.) In 1854, on the establishment of the Roman Catholic university in Dublin, he was appointed to the chair of Irish history and archaeology. He translated "Battle of the Magh Leana, together with the Courtship of Mornera" (Dublin, 1855), and published his "Lectures on the Manuscript Materials of Ancient Irish History (1801).
