In 2014 he moved to Paris, France for a new research position and also learned the language there. In Paris he became chair of ‘An Gaeltacht Sur Seine’, the Irish language society of Paris, played football for Paris Gaels, and volunteered for a year on the presidential campaign of Jean Luc Mélenchon.
