"They blew up the best portion of our city and ... it is their duty to replace it" : Compensation and reconstruction in the aftermath of the 1916 Rising

"They blew up the best portion of our city and ... it is their duty to replace it" : Compensation and reconstruction in the aftermath of the 1916 Rising
(2014)
Ó Corráin, Daithí
Abstract:
The most visible consequence of the 1916 Rising was the destruction of Sackville Street and the adjoining thoroughfares. Witnesses likened the ruined city centre to a scene from the Western Front. The damage resulted in significant material loss for the citizens and property owners of Dublin. This article will explain why the British government accepted liability for loss of property of all kinds from buildings to personal items. It will describe the nature of the compensation process, municipal concerns about town planning and reinstatement in an improving style, and the material impact of the restitution on the city and its people.

A Brief History of Clery’s
(2015)
Rains, Stephanie
Abstract:
Clery’s department store is an iconic Dublin business, famed for having risen from the ashes of 1916, its clock the meeting point for generations of courting couples. This and its stately building give it the impression of permanence and stability, but in fact in its 162-year history Clery’s has experienced three changes of name, multiple owners and two previous bankruptcies—one of which also resulted in the store being closed and its staff being fired

An Assessment of Radiative, Energy and Carbon Dioxide Fluxes over Three Urban Locations in Dublin
(2015)
Keogh, Stephanie
Abstract:
The urban form and function varies across and within cities serving to alter surface-atmosphere exchanges of radiation, turbulent heat and carbon dioxide. To date very few measurements of these exchanges are undertaken in the urban domain despite the growing number of urban dwellers worldwide. This thesis presents the first attempt at investigating these exchanges over an urban surface in Ireland. Radiometer and eddy covariance observations are examined for Dublin at 3 distinctive urban locations (suburban, urban, and urban-compact). The observational period (maximum 33 months) allowed for the investigation of both diurnal and seasonal trends of the turbulent sensible heat (QH), latent heat (QE) and carbon dioxide (FC) fluxes. Net radiation (Q*) was 7.5 and 10% greater in summer and winter at the suburban location when compared to an urban location. Q* was preferentially channelled into the QH in summer and the QE in winter at the suburban location while QH dominates in all seasons ...

Collaboration and Creativity: A case study of how design thinking created a cultural cluster in Dublin
(2015)

Abstract:
Tourism is a rapidly expanding industry with a wide range of economic benefits. Expenditure by tourists visiting Ireland was estimated to be €4bn in 2012, a 4.4% increase on 2011, adding to tourism expenditure by Irish residents of €1.4bn. Tourism accounts for 4% of national GDP and 6% of all employment in Ireland. Following the economic collapse in Ireland post 2007, the national tourism agency (Fáilte Ireland) has had to dramatically alter its role from being a funder for tourism infrastructure to being a catalyst for and facilitator of collaborative R&D and innovation . This paper explores a case study of one such innovation initiative: a collaborative innovation experiment that brought together over 30 of Ireland’s most significant cultural institutions (including the National Gallery of Ireland, National Library of Ireland, Museum of Natural History) and commercial bodies to use a design thinking process to develop Merrion Square as a new, more integrated cultural tourism d...

Community Development in Dublin. Political Subjectivity and State Cooption.
(2012)
Zagato, Alessandro
Abstract:
Between the end of the 1960s and the beginning of the 1970s, under the aegis of “Community Development” (CD), the Dublin inner city subaltern community struggles raised implicit and explicit political questions which differed substantially from those previously raised by the ‘official’ republican and socialist left. These questions concerned the lives of miscounted people, their place in the city and the resources available to them. They developed in unprecedented forms of political organization, which, for not being concerned with entering the domain of representative state power, kept themselves at a subjective distance from it. However, this independence had a short life. From the 1980s CD projects began to be rearticulated and ‘depoliticised’ under a bureaucratic framework of funding streams, management, expertise and service delivery. The prevailing emphasis on state defined concerns, concepts and modes of organization, as well as the decline of the original intellectual indepe...

Estimation of motor vehicle emissions with respect to controlling air pollution

Estimation of motor vehicle emissions with respect to controlling air pollution
(2012)
Achour, Hussam
Abstract:
Air pollution is becoming a very important issue for the transportation sector, particularly car emissions in urban areas, and there is much interest in evaluating the actual level of emissions across Europe and around the World. The effects of vehicle emissions can be seen from both a human perspective and an environmental perspective. The emissions from cars can have a deadly consequence on human life, as seen with the CO emission, which has been proven to be fatal to human life in a confined space. In addition, research has shown that the exposure to fuel emissions can have a carcinogenic effect on humans. This is a huge concern for people as the amount of traffic increases globally. On the other hand, energy consumption from the transport sector in many developing countries has not been dealt with the same intensity as that of developed countries. Due to the rapidly expanding mobile populations in the developing world, the issue of low carbon development and transport needs to b...

Globalisation, information technology and the emergence of niche transnational cities: the growth of the call centre sector in Dublin
(2000)
Breathnach, Proinnsias
Abstract:
The development of information and communications technologies (ICT) has facilitated the emergence of a complex global urban system in which many formerly lower-order cities have been carving out 'niche' specialist functions serving urban fields of transnational dimension. This is illustrated in the case of Dublin, which in recent years has been transcending its traditional role as Ireland's national metropolis through the development of a range of functions servicing mainly European markets. One such function comprises pan-European telephone call centre operations. The development and characteristics of this newly-emerging sector are described. It is argued that the growth of the sector confirms Dublin's - and Ireland's - dependent position in the international division of labour, and that its long-term sustainability is open to question.

Land surveying in eighteenth and early nineteenth-century Dublin
(2011)
O'Connaith, Finnian
Abstract:
This thesis explores and documents the profession of land surveying in Dublin, Ireland, during the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries until 1810. It aims to present the many aspects of land surveying in Dublin during this period. As such, it is the history of a skilled, varied and complex craft practiced by both professionals and amateurs. It establishes a definition for the career title land surveyor, examines the viability of the profession in eighteenth-century Dublin and how the elements of surveying science, art, technology and business integrated together to create a feasible career. The science and technology of surveying, established primarily from period treatises and manuals, is evaluated, compared and investigated with specific focus on surveying instrumentation and associated methodology. The practical application of surveying technology and techniques is examined through a series of case studies to demonstrate both the diversity of period surveying work and the ...

Outside in Dublin: Travellers, Society and the State 1963 -1985
(2009)
Crowley, Una
Abstract:
This paper examines accommodation policies and spatialized practices designed to rehabilitate, assimilate and integrate Irish Travellers (Ireland’s indigenous nomadic population) into mainstream society. With a specific focus on Dublin, the study covers the period from the commencement of the National Settlement Programme in 1964 until the mid 1980s when the depth of division between the settled community and Travellers reached crisis point and was expressed in outbursts of intercommunal violence in neighbourhoods throughout Dublin. I have chosen to concentrate on this particular period as it was a critical time in Travellers’ history and the accommodation policies and programmes developed during this time continue to have profound consequences for Travellers right up to the present day. It was during this period that widely held negative perceptions of Travellers were validated and cemented in research and policy1, legitimising behaviour towards Travellers that has ranged from shun...

Participation in the Smart City: An Ethnographical Study of Citizen Engagement in Dublin
(2015)
Pétercsák, Réka
Abstract:
This thesis provides ethnographic insights into the nature of smart urban projects; secondly, it provides a theory explaining the motivation for participation as well as the benefits gained through engagement. Smart urban projects are celebrated for helping to improve social cohesion and aim make life more effective in the city by using ICTs. However, the voluntary nature of the collaborations calls for alternative legitimising routes to ensure the longevity and success of the projects. As many of the projects still pivot from their original goal or remain a fragment, it is worthwhile to ask the question: why is this activity so widely supported by public and private stakeholders and why do so many people try to engage in similar endeavours? Mapping, counting, visualising platforms appear to allow the collaborators to create a replica of their subjective cityscape. In the absence of money and traditional institutions trust is ensured by shared vision and common comprehension of unde...

Place Re-Making in Dublin
(2004)
Corcoran, Mary P.
Abstract:
0ne of the defining features of the city of Dublin in recent years has been its diffusion into the surrounding hinterland, creating major outlying suburban communities some of which now quallfy as 'edge cities'. One consequence of this diffision is a re-orientation of the citizenry away from the downtown. It is hard to imagine now but, in the 1940s and 1950s' O'Connell Street was the vibrant core of the city of Dublin replete with entertainment, restaurant, hotel and business facilities. If we try to think of an iconic image from that period, it has to be that of young men and women, sensibly belted against the wind and rain, waiting expectantly for their dates under Clerys' clock. From the 1960s, as the commercial heart of the city migrated across the River Liffey to Grafton Street and St Stephen's Green, O'Connell Street and its surrounding environs went into decline. While the city centre's main thoroughfare retained its status as the civic...

Preliminary Results of a Spatial Analysis of Dublin City’s Bike Rental Scheme
(2010)
Mooney, Peter; Corcoran, Paul; Winstanley, Adam C.
Abstract:
We present some initial observations on the usage and flow patterns of the DublinBikes (DB) bicycle rental scheme across Dublin city. In September 2009 Dublin City in conjunction with outdoor advertising company JC Decaux made 450 bicycles publicly available from 40 locations around the city in a scheme called DublinBikes (DB). Cycling, as a commuting mode forms an important part of the Irish Government's Transport policy for Ireland up to 2020 stating that "a culture of cycling will be developed by 2020 to envisage around 160,000 people cycling for their daily commute, up from 35,000 in 2006"(DOT, 2009). We follow Froehlich et al (2008) who find usage patterns from these bike rental schemes can "infer cultural and geographical aspects of the city and predict future bike station usage behaviour" when combined with geographical information and local knowledge. Data captured on DB and presented in this paper covers the period of September 20th 2009 to February...

Abstract:
The main objective of this report is to provide a comprehensive assessment of the current situation in order to assist South Dublin County Development Board in the preparation of its strategy for economic, social and cultural development over the next ten years. The city and environs of Dublin now extend over a very extensive area, exceeding the boundaries of the Dublin administrative units. It represents a complex and dynamic functional entity with roles as both the national capital and the principal international gateway for the country. Since the mid 1990s the old county Dublin has been divided into four units for purposes of public administration, within each of which a City/County Development Board was established in 1999. As each Board is required to prepare a strategy for economic, social and cultural development, the approach adopted here is to provide an analysis that takes account of the wider context while also providing detailed small area analysis for the wards/DEDs of ...

Square pegs and round holes: Dublin City’s experience of the RAPID Programme.
(2008)
Murphy, Mary
Abstract:
This paper is concerned with the governance of spatial inequalities in metropolitan areas. As in other countries, Irish metropolitan areas are characterised by significant socio-economic inequalities. Despite various local initiatives Ireland has yet to achieve an effective model of urban or metropolitan governance capable of reducing these metropolitan socio-economic inequalities. This paper reviews, by way of an evidenced-based Dublin City case study, an Irish metropolitan governance process designed to counter specific metropolitan spatial inequalities - the RAPID (Revitalising Areas by Planning, Investment and Development) Programme. The paper begins by situating the analysis in literature relating to globalisation, governance, multi-level governance and new localism. It proceeds to briefly outline a profile of Dublin as a city characterised by high levels of spatial-economic disadvantage and an ongoing process of badly managed planning and development (Redmond et al 2008).

Testing the validity of the Implicit Relational Assessment Procedure and the Implicit Association Test: Measuring attitudes toward Dublin and country life in Ireland
(2009)
Barnes-Holmes, Dermot; Waldron, Deirdre; Barnes-Holmes, Yvonne
Abstract:
The current study aimed to test the validity of the Implicit Relational Assessment Procedure (IRAP), as compared to the Implicit Association Test (IAT), by assessing the attitudes of Dublin dwellers and rural dwellers toward Dublin and country life. Discrimination between the two groups for the IAT was marginally significant. The IRAP discriminated significantly between the two groups based on an interaction effect, which showed that rural dwellers had a strong bias toward country life but Dublin dwellers did not show the same bias toward Dublin life. The IRAP data correlated moderately with the explicit measures, but the IAT did not. The findings support the IRAP as a potentially useful measure of implicit attitudes.

The “miracle” of Fatima : Media Framing and the regeneration of a Dublin Housing Estate (NIRSA) Working Paper Series. No. 47
(2009)
Conway, Brian; Cahill, Lynne M.; Corcoran, Mary P.
Abstract:
This paper examines media coverage of one local authority housing estate in Dublin city with a difficult past. Fatima Mansions was built in the late 1940s and enjoyed an unremarkable history up until the 1970s. A heroin problem developed in the estate in the 1980s and contributed to its negative media construction. Beginning at the end of the 1990s and continuing to the present, a regeneration project worked hard to dislodge earlier interpretations of the estate. A qualitative analysis of different media spaces that represented this change process shows how the media tuned into it and that earlier negative meaning-making in the late 1990s was later displaced by visual imagery, audio recordings and textual accounts with a more positive valence. The paper argues that media representations of social problems may not be authoritative and media agenda-setting is more provisional and open-ended than is commonly assumed.

The arts of memory Icon and structural violence in a Dublin 'underclass' housing estate
(2002)
Saris, A. Jamie
Abstract:
This paper deals with the complex relationships between, and some of the everyday practices that go into, remem- bering and forgetting within a conflicted political field. The object of this analysis is a set of murals in an eco- nomically and socially marginal housing estate on the out- skirts of Dublin, and some of the social activities that they either commemorate or pass over. This analysis requires an ‘archaeology’ of a sort, in the sense that both virtual and material layers have to be scraped away, not to reveal some deeper truth, but to outline the field of forces that create truth-effects within this context (Foucault 1973a, Rabinow 1996). If this process is conducted carefully with due regard for local knowledge, however, the rewards are high. An obscure wall in an unfashionable Dublin suburb that most people in the capital have never been to (and that many people would never want to visit), displays multiple and conflicting configurations of violence, resistance, communit...

The Blurred Beginnings of A Terrible Tragedy

Abstract:
An old woman sits on a wooden bench surrounded by onlookers. A makeshift structure with a thatch roof offers some shelter from the glare of the sun. The woman is silent as strangers - some black, some white - come and sit beside her. A camera clicks and a few coins are placed on a chipped enamel plate at the woman's feet. Another person approaches and the action is repeated. I notice a chameleon creeping stealthily along the whitewashed wall behind the woman, and wonder if it will be visible in the photograph which will be shown back home in Dallas or Dublin or Dakar.

The Energy Budget of the Urban Surface: Two Locations in Dublin
(2012)
Keogh, Stephanie; Mills, Gerald; Fealy, Rowan
Abstract:
In the first decade of the 21st Century a significant milestone was reached when the urban proportion of the world’s population of 6.6 billion passed 50%. This proportion will increase rapidly in the decades to come as parts of Asia and Africa become progressively less rural and more urban. Although urban areas occupy less than 3% of the planetary landmass, they are the foci of humans and economic activity. The climates that they generate are distinctive and represent unambiguous evidence of the anthropogenic climatic effect. This urban climate effect is a consequence of two related properties, land cover (form) and land use (function). Urbanisation replaces ‘natural’ surfaces with manufactured materials that are usually impervious and have distinctive thermal and radiative properties. In addition, the urban surface is both geometrically complex and highly diverse. These properties of form result in the formation of myriad microclimates caused by a number of climate drivers, includi...

The Praxis and Politics of Building Urban Dashboards. Programmable City Working Paper 11
(2015)

Abstract:
This paper critically reflects on the building of the Dublin Dashboard -- a website that provides citizens, planners, policy makers and companies with an extensive set of data and interactive visualizations about Dublin City, including real-time information -- from the perspective of critical data studies. The analysis draws upon participant observation, ethnography, and an archive of correspondence, to unpack the building of the Dashboard and the emergent politics of data and design. Our findings reveal four main observations. First, a dashboard is a complex socio-technical assemblage of actors and actants that work materially and discursively within a set of social and economic constraints, existing technologies and systems, and power geometries to assemble, produce and maintain the website. Second, the production and maintenance of a dashboard unfolds contextually, contingently and relationally through transduction. Third, the praxis and politics of creating a dashboard has wider...

Abstract:
The study involves an investigation of the problems that commuters in Dublin face everyday, and attempts to shed further light on our understanding of how individual differences (e.g., gender & perceived control) moderate the effects of commuting in terms of the individual's stress and mood outcomes. Four modes of transport were investigated; those who commuted to work by car, bus, train, and walking. The survey sample was 187 worker-commuters employed in a number of banks located in Dublin's IFSC. The study indicates that nearly 80% of respondents reported their daily commute as a stressful experience, those who travelled by train-Dart experienced highest levels of stress and most negative moods on reaching their workplace. They were followed by car and bus commuters with walkers reporting least stress and most positive moods. The level of experienced impedance impacted on levels of stress with commuters who had experienced a high impedance commute recording higher st...

Abstract:
This study examines the ideology, organisation methods and activities of the Society of St Vincent de Paul in the diocese of Dublin from 1926 to 1975. It looks at how the Society expanded its range of services over this period, despite the change from conditions of great hardship in the 1920s to relative prosperity by the 1970s. As a lay Catholic organisation, whose stated aim was the sanctification of its members through works of charity, it attempted to express its identity in new ways following the Second Vatican Council. How the Society, a charity among many and often described as composed of middle-aged and middle income members, continued to survive and to maintain the goodwill and financial support of the public will also be examined.
