When T. P. Dolan's 'A Dictionary of Hiberno-English' first appeared in hardback, the poet and critic Tom Paulin hailed it as his book of the year, describing it as a tremendous feat of scholarship. It is the only dictionary which provides an authoritative lexicon of the English language as spoken in Ireland. Hiberno-English differs from standard English in a number of ways, most notably through the retention of archaic forms redundant in standard English and through borrowings from the Irish language.

He was a Senior Scholar at Oxford before joining the English Department at University College, Dublin, where he is now Associate Professor in Old and Middle English.
