Nick Laird and Alan Gillis could be included in that third generation. You might also look at Gerald Dawe in the second generation.

Subject: Northern Irish Poets?
Hi,
I'm writing a PhD on the connection between the Troubles and the genre of Elegy in Northern Irish poetry. If the first generation of Northern Irish 'Troubles' poets includes Michael Longley, Seamus Heaney and Derek Mahon, and the second generation includes people like Ciaran Carson and Paul Muldoon, who might be the third generation? I'm looking at Colette Bryce, Leontia Flynn, Sinead Morrissey... I would be very grateful for more suggestions.
Thanks,
Naomi
