Accommodating Employees with Disabilities: Perceptions of Irish Academic Library Managers

Accommodating Employees with Disabilities: Perceptions of Irish Academic Library Managers
(2011)
O'Neill, Anne-Marie; Urquhart, Christine
Abstract:
In recent years a significant amount of the literature in the field of librarianship has focused on providing greater access to library facilities to clients with disabilities. There has been constructive debate about accessible buildings, ergonomic design of library facilities, and assistive technologies; but, what of individual people with disabilities who wish to work in libraries? Does the concern for accessibility extend to their employment in the library workplace? What is happening in Irish academic libraries to accommodate them in their employment and achieve equality of opportunities?

Adapting Work to the Worker: the Evolving EU Legal Framework on Accommodating Worker Diversity

Adapting Work to the Worker: the Evolving EU Legal Framework on Accommodating Worker Diversity
(2018)
Bell, Mark
Abstract:
https://doi.org/10.1177/1358229118788459
The changing profile of the European workforce creates pressure to adapt the working environment in order to accommodate worker diversity, such as that related to disability, religious practice or caring responsibilities. There is an ongoing debate within equality law on the extent to which law should require employers to provide such accommodation. This article examines the rationales that justify legal intervention and maps out various ways in which EU legislation already requires employers to accommodate worker diversity. It identifies three types of accommodation duty: protective, substantive and procedural. The article argues that the debate can be enhanced by looking beyond the confines of equality law and drawing connections with a wider agenda for labour market reform. A better understanding of the different types of accommodation duty helps to expand the debate beyond a narrow focus on whether the duty of reasonable accommodation...

Affective equality : who cares?

Affective equality : who cares?
(2010)
Lynch, Kathleen
Abstract:
Human beings are not just economic actors, devoid of relationality; rather, they are interdependent and dependent with a deep capacity for moral feeling and attaching. The presumption that people are mere units of labour, movable from one country to another as production requires, is therefore an institutionalised form of affective injustice. As love, care and solidarity involve work, affective inequalities also occur when the burdens and benefits of these forms of work are unequally distributed. Affective inequality is an acutely gendered problem given the moral imperative on women to care, and an acute problem for all of humanity given that vulnerability and inter/dependency is endemic to the human condition.

Affective inequalities : challenging (re)distributive, recognition and representational models of social justice
(2010)
Lynch, Kathleen
Abstract:
Paper presented at the XVII ISA World Congress of Sociology : sociology on the move, Gothenburg, Sweden, July 11-17th 2010
This paper examines the significance of care relations for the pursuit of equality and social justice in society. It highlights the importance of affective equality for producing a society governed by principles of deep egalitarianism and equality of condition. This paper builds on research with my colleagues in Equality Studies on the theory of equality (Baker, Lynch, Cantillon and Walsh, 2004, 2009) and on the subject of affective equality in particular (Lynch, Baker and Lyons, 2009). It begins by acknowledging the role of feminist scholars in opening up the affective domain to research. It then briefly defines affective equality and inequality going on to outline the core assumptions underpinning affective egalitarian thinking. From there, it explores the neglect of affective relations in egalitarian theory and outlines a new framework for egalitarian thi...

Affluence versus Equality? A critique of Wilkinson and Pickett’s book ‘The Spirit Level’

Affluence versus Equality? A critique of Wilkinson and Pickett’s book ‘The Spirit Level’
(2010)
O'Connell, Michael F.
Abstract:
The Spirit Level made strong claims that in developed countries, income growth was no longer important and the focus should turn to income differentials within society. Putting affluence before parity and solidarity led to the rise of widespread anxiety, insecurity and social dysfunction. In this paper, six problems are identified with the argument made in the Spirit Level: 1. There is no conflict between wealth and equality. In fact they tend to be highly correlated (i.e. wealthy societies are far more egalitarian than poorer societies); 2. Correlational data are relied upon to imply causal direction; 3. The focus on income inequality ignores the role of savings and state services; 4. There is no evidence that people are systematically stigmatised by buying ‘second-class’ goods; 5. Investment in ‘luxuries’ in wealthy countries have unforeseen consequences in raising living standards in poorer countries, e.g. the mobile phone; 6. The status of women is far more highly associated wit...

All things considered, should feminists embrace basic income?

All things considered, should feminists embrace basic income?
(2010)
Baker, John
Abstract:
As a feminist, I am committed to equality of condition between men and women, defined multidimensionally in terms of respect and recognition; resources; love, care and solidarity; power; and working and learning. I concentrate in this comment on equality in the affective system, i.e., the set of social relations that operates to meet people's needs for love, care and solidarity. A central problem for egalitarians is that recognising, valuing and supporting care work risks reinforcing the gendered division of labour, a problem of much wider remit than the issue of basic income. I argue, however, that basic income can be construed as recognising and supporting care work as a form of worthwhile but noncommodifiable activity and that this should be combined with confronting the division of labour culturally and ideologically. I cite recent empirical work on caregivers and care recipients in Ireland in support of my position.

An egalitarian case for basic income

An egalitarian case for basic income
(2012)
Baker, John
Abstract:
In section 1, I set out a general perspective on the nature of egalitarianism and relate it to some familiar conceptions of economic equality. In section 2, I argue in keeping with the popular notion of equality that it makes sense to think of equal income as a baseline against which departures need to be justified. Section 3 discusses some problems which arise concerning departures from equal income justified by different needs, and argues for a particular approach based on what I shall call a 'background agreement' on need. Section 4 looks at the issue of relating income to work, and tries to construct and defend an interpretation of the idea that income inequalities should compensate people for differences in their work. I argue for a system of 'compensating differentials' based on a background agreement regarding the benefits and burdens of different kinds and amounts of work. Section 5 considers the principles of free choice of occupation and of the rig...

An international review of legal provisions and supports for people with disabilities as victims of crime

An international review of legal provisions and supports for people with disabilities as victims of crime
(2013)
Kilcommins, Shane; Edwards, Claire; O'Sullivan, Tina
Abstract:
People with disabilities who become victims of crime have derived some benefits from the broader inclusionary momentum in relation to victims in the legal field in Ireland. In addition, there have been some benefits from legislation specifically targeted at supporting people with disabilities. The requirements on public service providers imposed by the Disability Act 2005, for example, have led to improved access to courthouses and Garda stations, through wheelchair ramps, the introduction of induction loop systems (a system comprising of a loop of cable around a designated area, usually a room or a building, which generates a magnetic field picked up by a hearing aid), and the provision of information in accessible formats.

Anti 'social capital': civic values versus economic equality in the EU
(2010)

Anti 'social capital': civic values versus economic equality in the EU
(2010)
O'Connell, Michael F.
Abstract:
The concept of Social Capital suggests that societies with more dense social networks will have more effective political institutions, be more cohesive and display stronger economic performances. However the causal foundations of this influential model have not been closely examined. The evidence put forward in Putnam's analysis of the Italian regions is critiqued. An empirical assessment of the model in relation to EU member states is carried out. Although the data fit the model, an alternative Equality model is statistically stronger as well as intuitively more appealing. The reasons for the strong appeal of the Social Capital model despite its weaknesses are discussed.

Civil Partnership: Your Questions Answered - A Comprehensive Analysis of the Civil Partnership Bill
(2009)
Ryan, Fergus
Abstract:
The Civil Partnership Bill 2009 arguably represents the most momentous change in Irish Family Law in a generation. The Bill proposes a substantial new legal status for registered same-sex partners, as well as important changes to the law as it relates to cohabitants. This report addresses the provisions of the Bill as initiated, analysing the potential impact of the Bill in clear and accessible language. The Report also highlights potential difficulties with the Bill, and suggests possible enhancements to the Bill as initiated.

Code of practice for the equality of opportunity in employment: for the elimination of sex and marital discrimination.
(1983)
Employment Equality Agency (EEA)
Abstract:
The Employment Equality Agency was established in October, 1977. The members decided that a Code of Practice for the elimination of sex discrimination and the promotion of equal opportunity in the work-place would be of assistance to everyone concerned with the application of anti-discrimination legislation in employment. By the time the first term of office of Agency members came to· an end in October, 1982 most of the Code now published had been prepared. The Agency records its thanks to all the members who contributed advice regarding the Code's format and contents. The Agency is also most grateful for the helpful comments received in respect of the preliminary drafts.

Abstract:
University College Cork introduced its first Community-based Participatory Research (CBPR) module in 2016. The module was funded and supported by Horizon2020 funding, specifically the EnRRICH project (Enhancing Responsible Research and Innovation through Curricula in Higher Education). The module is a 5-credit module for PhD students from all disciplines in the early stages of their PhD at University College Cork. Following two fruitful partnerships in the areas of social justice / equality, community family support services and older persons, there was a keen interested to explore partnerships in markedly different areas such as environmental sustainability. A dialogue ensued with CEF where the opportunity and feasibility to collaborate on the CBPR module was explored.

Concentration curves, inequality and tax reform
(2009)
Madden, David (David Patrick)
Abstract:
This paper applies the concept of welfare dominance using concentration curves to household data for Ireland. It identifies marginal tax reforms which would be welfare-enhancing for all social welfare functions satisfying weak restrictions. It also examines cases where stronger restrictions need to be imposed on the social welfare function to yield dominance. These stronger restrictions which we label limited third degree stochastic dominance extends the range of welfare-enhancing marginal tax reforms.

Defining characteristics and politicising victims: a legal perspective
(2012)
Schweppe, Jennifer
Abstract:
Legislatures worldwide experience the same problem in drafting or amending hate crimes statutes: How is it possible to discriminate between victim groups, and which groups are worthy of legislative protection? This article explores some of the experiences of legislatures, highlighting the political inconsistencies which go on to shape the legal system. It focusses on the experience of a number of common law jurisdictions, and seeks to establish a normative platform from which hate crimes statutes can be based, drawing on the legislative experiences of the United States. This platform draws on two other areas of law, particularly the criminal defence of provocation and equality legislation, and shows that the determination of victim groups for hate crimes legislation need not be the politically charged, discriminatory, and exclusionary process that it is today.

Discrimination on the ground of religion or belief in Ireland
(2013)
Vasquez del Aguila, Ernesto; Cantillon, Sara
Abstract:
This paper focuses on discrimination on the ground of religion or belief in Ireland. It is based on the analysis of academic sources, secondary data including Irish legislation related to religion; reports published by NGOs and governmental organisations; information from the Census 2011; and media reports and coverage. The Census 2011 shows that Ireland remains a country with a predominant majority who identify themselves as Catholics. There have been important social and cultural changes in Ireland over the last decades. Irish Catholics no longer have the same devotion to the Church that their parents had, and there are many important changes taking place in the State, the media, the public sphere and civil society towards religion. This report shows that despite these changes, the influence of the Catholic Church in Ireland and specifically in the area of education is still significant. The Catholic Church owns and runs the vast majority of primary and secondary schools in Irelan...

Abstract:
Equality of opportunity: An Garda Siochana, the Royal Ulster Constabulary, the international military and the Irish public service This chapter will consider the lot of female employees in other uniformed organisations at home and abroad and in other sectors of the public service. It will consider the question of proactive and affirmative action policies in the light of those PDF policies highlighted in chapters five to eight. I will consider equality of opportunity policy and practice within the Garda Síochána, the RUC, the international military and throughout the public service. I will also deal with issues of representation in this area from the point of view of the Irish Congress of Trade Unions, RACO and PDFORRA. The examination in this chapter, of policies and practices in the area of equality of opportunity as they apply in other organisations and institutions at home and abroad, situates the study within a wider context. The practices and policies as promulgated by th...

Equal pay by gender and by nationality. A comparative analysis of Switzerland's unequal equal pay policy regimes across time
(2015)
Erne, Roland; Imboden, Natalie
Abstract:
What explains the adoption of two different policies on equal pay by gender (EPG) and by nationality (EPN) in Switzerland? And why is the liberal, litigation-based, equal pay policy regime set up by the Gender Equality Act of 1996 much less effective than the neo-corporatist 'accompanying measures' to the Bilateral EU–Switzerland Agreement on Free Movement of Persons adopted in 1999 to ensure equal pay for workers of different national origins? The formation of two different policy regimes cannot be explained by different levels of political will. Equally, different 'varieties of capitalism' cannot explain the setup of the two different equal pay policy regimes within the very same country. Instead, our qualitative comparative analysis across time suggests that the differences can be best explained by a particular constellation of attributes, namely, the use of different policy frames – i.e. 'anti-discrimination' in the EPG and 'unfair competition&...
