The myth of 'the myth of Irish neutrality': deconstructing concepts of Irish neutrality using international relations theories
(2006)

The myth of 'the myth of Irish neutrality': deconstructing concepts of Irish neutrality using international relations theories
(2006)
Devine, Karen
Abstract:
A number of academics, journalists and political elites claim that Irish neutrality is a 'myth', and many also characterise public support for Irish neutrality as 'confused' and 'nonrational'. This 'unneutral' discourse in the academic literature and mainstream Irish media is based on an academic thesis, that of an Unneutral Ireland. The Unneutral thesis constructs a particular concept of neutrality in order to draw its conclusion that Ireland is 'unneutral'. Using a poststructuralist approach--a rarity in the discipline of International Relations (IR)--this paper deconstructs concepts of Irish neutrality using a framework of IR theories. The results show that the concept of neutrality put forward in the Unneutral Ireland thesis and the dominant discourses on Irish neutrality are based on a hegemonic IR theory, the theory of neorealism, rather than on seemingly 'objective' scientific research methods. The paper concludes th...

Irish diplomacy on the UN Security Council 2001-2: foreign policy-making in the light of day
(2004)
Doyle, John
Abstract:
Recent debate on Irish foreign policy has often been framed by the presumed influence of the EU Common Foreign and Security Policy and the dependence of the Irish economy on Foreign Direct Investment from the US. More broadly, small states are generally assumed to have little significant influence on world events. Empirical research on these issues is difficult in the Irish context given the often guarded nature of Irish foreign policy pronouncements. Ireland’s term on the UN Security Council in 2001 and 2002 offers an opportunity both to examine Irish foreign policy decision-making at the highest international level and to look at the capacity of a small state to have influence. The results of this study suggest that contrary to common perceptions, Irish diplomats on the Council did regularly disagree with the US on foreign-policy decisions and that the influence of EU membership was very limited—primarily because there was often no common European policy on the most controversial ...

The process of migration and the reinvention of self: the experiences of returning Irish emigrants.
(2002)
Corcoran, Mary
Abstract:
IRISH migration at the end of the twentieth century encompasses complex and multidimensional processes. Whereas Irish emigrants were once drawn almost exclusively from the agricultural and laborer classes, in the closing decades of the twentieth century emigration came to permeate the entire social system. Thus, Irish migrants are to be found not just among the ranks of skilled and semi-skilled labor, but also among the transnational professional elite that crisscrosses the globe. Current migration trends suggest a radical departure from the pattern that has characterized Irish demography for more than two centuries. Nowadays, more people are entering Ireland than leaving, bringing the country's migratory profile more into line with its European partners. Indeed, Irish government agencies are currently engaged in campaigns to recruit non-national immigrants in key labor market niches and to attract Irish emigrants home. Furthermore, there has been a significant increase in the ...

A comparative critique of the practice of Irish neutrality in the 'unneutral' discourse

A comparative critique of the practice of Irish neutrality in the 'unneutral' discourse
(2008)
Devine, Karen
Abstract:
This article takes a comparative, empirical look at the practice of Irish neutrality during World War II. It critiques a model of neutrality presented in a thesis on Irish neutrality called Unneutral Ireland, consisting of factors derived from an analysis of three states regarded as well-established European neutrals—Austria, Sweden and Switzerland—that reflect the practice of neutrality. That model focused on the rights and duties of neutrality; the recognition of Ireland's status by belligerents and others; the disavowal of external help; and freedom of decision and action. This present article focuses on the factors flowing from these latter obligations that are cited in an analysis of the practice of Irish neutrality in the Unneutral thesis as proof of Ireland's 'unneutral' status, i.e. ideology; involvement in economic sanctions; partiality; the practice of Irish citizens joining the British army; and post-World War II factors such as Ireland's EEC memb...

The Honourable Tradition of Non-Existence: Issues of Irish identity in the music and writings of Raymond Deane.

The Honourable Tradition of Non-Existence: Issues of Irish identity in the music and writings of Raymond Deane.
(2011)
Smith, Adrian
Abstract:
<p>In the past, the question of Irish identity when put to the composer Raymond Deane would perhaps have drawn forth an avowed resistance to the very concept. As a young man Deane developed a firmly atheistic frame of mind combined with a rebellious streak which left little room for latent nationalist sympathies or the pietistic doctrines of the Catholic Church. His subsequent early career reflected these inclinations with Deane firmly aligning himself with the ideals of European modernism and taking up residence in Germany where he found the liberal environment more in keeping with his secularist outlook. Nevertheless the marginalised position of contemporary art music in Irish cultural discourse continued to elicit impassioned writings from the composer decrying the fact that the achievements of Irish composers went frequently unnoticed. Many of his criticisms reflect his own identification with certain conflicts, particularly those which characterise the relationship betwee...

Riverdance: Representing Irish Traditional Music

Riverdance: Representing Irish Traditional Music
(2009)
Scahill, Adrian
Abstract:
As the archetypal example of the globalization and commodification of Ireland and Irish culture, Riverdance can justly be described as one of the emblems for the now rapidly fading Celtic Tiger. The show also was arguably one of the primary catalysts in the transformation of Irish traditional music from a primarily geographically (and ethnically) situated music into what Mark Slobin has described as an “affinity interculture.” Now, participation in the music is governed by choice, and the possibility of “becoming Irish music” is open to all. This connection between the show and the tradition has been utilized and emphasized in a range of contexts, from tourist promotional literature5 to academic course descriptions and writing.6 The link with tradition has also been adverted to by its composer Bill Whelan himself.7 In the show’s promotional material, Sam Smyth’s description of Riverdance as a “two-hour celebration of traditionalmusic and dance” appears to conflate the two.8 In the s...

Babel's Suburbs: Irish Verse Translation in the 1980's
(1991)
Cronin, Michael
Abstract:
Miklos Vadja, editor of the New Hungarian Quarterly and a distinguished translator, spoke to the Irish Translators' Association in 1987 on the essential paradox of Verse translation: "To believe in the possibility and viability of verse translation means, therefore, to acknowledge the paradox that a poem can lose its language and form, and then have the core of its non-lingual poetic substance, with most of its lost linguistic, cultural, prosodic, and other qualities coded into it, grafted onto another language, like some vital internal organ, with a certain hope for survival. "Translation is a paradox that Irish Writers have willingly embraced in the 1980s and one of the most striking literary phenomena of the decade has been the upsurge in verse translation.

"He's My Country": Liberalism, Nationalism, and Sexuality in Contemporary Irish Gay Fiction
(2004)

"He's My Country": Liberalism, Nationalism, and Sexuality in Contemporary Irish Gay Fiction
(2004)
Cronin, Michael
Abstract:
This article analyzes the representation of gay men in contemporary Irish culture through readings of novels published since 1993 by gay-identified authors Tom Lennon, Keith Ridgway, Colm TóibÃn, and Jamie O'Neill. It explores how representstions of gay men have been used to preserve a liberal political conscenus in the face of the widening gap between rich and poor created by the forces of a globalized free market. Before engaging in textual analysis of these novels, therefore, the article situates them within the political and cultural currents of contemporary southern Ireland. This context includes the history and achievements of the lesbian and gay political movement, but more widely, the prevailing liberal consensus as it responds to social and economic change, to the dominant global order in the current phase of captalism, and to the history of Irish nationalism.

The fortress of the good and the liberation of tradition: a review of Irish education in the late twentieth century.

The fortress of the good and the liberation of tradition: a review of Irish education in the late twentieth century.
(1986)
Hogan, Padraig
Abstract:
A Platonic-style custodianship, or, if you like, a customary straitlacedness in matters cultural and spiritual, has been, and largely remains an enduring feature of Irish education. If I might add a further observation, it is that this customary custodianship tends to becloud the more pressing shortcomings which diminish the quality of work in schools and colleges at present. Of course these are large claims and within the space of an essay such as this, one can only trace the historical evidence in brief outline. Such claims, moreover, may seem doubly strange when one acknowledges that the literature and discourse of education at present are everywhere pervaded with consideration of emergent needs and with phrases such as 'the challenge of change'.

Nuclear accents in four Irish (Gaelic) dialects
(2007)
NI CHASAIDE, AILBHE
Abstract:
In this paper the distribution of nuclear accents in declaratives of four major dialects of Irish is described. The findings show considerable variation, particular between northern and southern dialects. Speakers of the northern dialect of Donegal show a propensity for rising nuclear accents (L*+H) in declaratives, while speakers of the other, more southern, dialects of Mayo, South Connaught and Kerry Irish show a preference for falling nuclear (H*+L) accents. The findings are compared with results for varieties of English.

Cross-Dialect Irish Prosody: Linguistic Constraints on Fujisaki Modelling

NI CHASAIDE, AILBHE; GOBL, CHRISTER
Abstract:
We describe here our approach to quantifying cross-dialect differences in Irish Gaelic, using the Fujisaki model. The basic principle is that the way in which the modelling is carried out respects a parallel linguistic (AM) analysis. The aims are: (1) to ensure that our modelling strategies permit a reliable cross-dialect comparison, (2) that the model-derived measurements can be related to meaningful linguistic dimensions and (3) that the analysis forms the basis for multidialect synthesis.

Effect of hydrothermal processing on colour, antioxidant and free radical scavenging capacities of edible Irish brown seaweeds
(2011)
Rajauria, Gaurav; Jaiswal, Amit Kumar; Abu-Ghannam, Nissreen; Gupta, Shilpi
Abstract:
The effect of heat processing on change in colour (ΔE), level of bioactive compounds and overall antioxidant capacity in raw and heat processed Irish brown seaweeds was investigated. Raw seaweeds were heated at 85, 95, 100, 110 and 121 °C for 15 min in an autoclave and the samples were extracted with 60% methanol. Total phenol (TPC), total tannin (TTC), DPPH• scavenging and metal chelating ability (FIC) were significantly higher (p < 0.05) at 85 °C while the value of ΔE, total flavonoid (TFC), total sugar (TSC), lipid peroxidation and H2O2 scavenging capacity were higher at 95 °C, as compared to raw seaweeds, in all the species studied. Results showed that heat treatment affects not only the content of bioactive compounds in seaweeds but also beneficial biological activity associated with these compounds which can suggest new processing for the application of seaweeds extract as nutraceutical.

The Naval Forces of the Irish State, 1922-1977
(2009)
Ó Confhaola, Padhraic
Abstract:
This thesis seeks to examine the history of the naval forces of the Irish state since its independence and identify those factors, events and decisions which shaped their development while also providing an overview of the naval history of the state. Since the foundation of the Irish Free State and the civil war which marked its birth, the Irish state has established several naval forces, generally in times of grave national emergency but little of their history is known to the wider public. Although most are aware of the Irish Naval Service, which came into being after the Second World War, few know of its predecessors. The Coastwatching and Marine Service, later to become the Marine Service, provided seaward defence during the Emergency, the uniquely Irish euphemism for the Second World War. Its many constituent parts were responsible for the patrolling of Irish territorial waters, minesweeping operations and the surveillance of shipping around the Irish coast and those merchant s...

The provenance and dissolution of the Irish boundary commission

The provenance and dissolution of the Irish boundary commission
(2006)
Rankin, K. J.
Abstract:
The abortive saga of the Irish Boundary Commission has largely been dismissed as a minor footnote that warrants little elaboration in Ireland’s partition discourse. This is unsurprising considering that its final report, having been pre-empted by an inspired newspaper forecast, was hastily suppressed so as to prevent the destabilisation of the fledgling regimes in the newly created Northern Ireland and the then Irish Free State. However, the concept of the Irish Boundary Commission derives from the intensifying controversies of Irish Home Rule and partition with specific reference to how and where a boundary was eventually drawn as well as to the creation of Northern Ireland and the Irish Free State. The Commission was legally conceived in article 12 of the controversial 1921 Anglo-Irish Treaty but confusion over its wording protracted a sequence of events that ensured that the Commission did not actually meet until almost three years later. The eventual restrictive interpretation o...

Belting the Irish State with US Croziers. Theatre, Tourism, UN Policy and Church-State Relations, 1957-58 (NIRSA) Working Paper Series 54
(2009)
Murray, Peter
Abstract:
In February 1958, the Irish Catholic Hierarchy sent a letter to its US counterpart. The letter stated that the UN policy of the Irish government `did not represent the feelings of Irish Catholics’. It also called on the US bishops ` make their influence effectively felt’ by Irish representatives in the United States in relation to two plays in the programme of the 1958 Dublin Theatre Festival which the Archbishop of Dublin regarded as objectionable. This was to be done by, in effect, threatening to encourage a US tourist boycott of Ireland. On neither of these matters had the Irish hierarchy made representations to the Irish government. This paper reproduces the letter, sets out the context in which it was sent, examines the response to it by churchmen in the USA and the role this played in bringing about the postponement of the Theatre Festival. Irish diplomatic and ministerial reaction to the discovery of what the Irish hierarchy had done is also discussed.

Early reading strategies in Irish and English: Evidence from error types

Early reading strategies in Irish and English: Evidence from error types
(2009)
Parsons, Christine E.; Lyddy, Fiona
Abstract:
For the majority of people in Ireland, Irish is a second language acquired primarily through the schooling system. This study examined the reading strategies children used in response to English and Irish words (presented in isolation), through an analysis of their oral reading errors. Children in their 4th year of schooling attending English-medium schools, immersion schools, and Irish-medium schools in Irish-speaking (Gaeltacht) regions participated. The English-medium school children scored significantly below the other 3 groups on the Irish task; the Gaeltacht school children scored below the other 3 groups on the English task. Overall, the children made significantly more real-word errors on the English task compared with the Irish task and significantly more nonword errors on the Irish task compared with the English task. These findings suggest that children learning to read in English and Irish may adopt different strategies when faced with unfamiliar words from each language.

Net-Working for a Living: Irish Software Developers in the Global Workplace

O Riain, Sean
Abstract:
In 1992, I took the path followed by many young Irish people at that time and emigrated to the United States. In my case I left Dublin for Berkeley, California to get a Ph.D. in sociology. Within a year or two I found myself beginning to study the Irish software industry from 6,000 miles away in Silicon Valley. Through interviews with managers in Silicon Valley companies with operations in Ireland I investigated the dynamics of foreign investment in the Irish software industry. E-mail correspondence with managers of Irish companies in Dublin directed me to their Silicon Valley offices where I learned the basic history of the emergence of an Irish-owned software industry which was now itself becoming increasingly globalized. These contacts and other Irish people I knew in California put me in touch with Irish software developers working in the Silicon Valley area.

Vanishing Point: An Examination of Some Consequences of Globalization for Contemporary Irish Film
(2003)
Crosson, Seán
Abstract:
In the following article, some films produced with the support of Bord Scannán na hÉireann (The Irish Film Board) since its reconstitution in 1993 are examined in light of the work of global anthropologist Arjun Appadurai and his theory of global cultural flows. I suggest that cinema, primarily of Hollywood origin, has had a notable influence on the development of Irish society and Irish film. Contemporary Irish film itself also reflects the failure of Irish history to excite the imagination of Ireland's youth as effectively as the seductive depictions of America's past as mediated through the Western and gangster films. Indeed, films made in Ireland today reflect the influence of both these genres. However, as the key to the Hollywood continuity style of film-making is its own self-effacement, this has sometimes been reflected in the effacement of people, politics and place in contemporary Irish film as film-makers endeavor to attract a global audience for their work.

The aim is to examine models of thinking about the international exhibition of Irish contemporary art (IEICA) and account for the discursive frameworks and institutional networks within which Irish contemporary art is viewed, discussed and evaluated. Art exhibitions are a primary site of exchange within a globalised cultural economy and, notably over the period examined from 1980 to 2005, have served as a critical forum in which issues of identity and the politics of national categorisation are debated. Taking the medium of temporary exhibition as a cultural artefact and a discursive practice, it is possible to trace through IEICA the continuous process of change and redefinition that has formed cultural identities in Ireland, and to show how the category of 'Irish art' is constructed, maintained and, at times, deconstructed in relation to a complex configuration of texts.

International and domestic pressures on Irish foreign policy: an analysis of the UN Security Council term 2001-2
(2005)
Doyle, John
Abstract:
Recent debate on Irish foreign policy has often been framed by the presumed influence of the EU Common Foreign and Security Policy and the dependence of the Irish economy on Foreign Direct Investment from the US. More broadly, small states are generally assumed to have little significant influence on world events. Empirical research on these issues is difficult in the Irish context given the often guarded nature of Irish foreign policy pronouncements. Ireland’s term on the UN Security Council in 2001 and 2002 offers an opportunity both to examine Irish foreign policy decision-making at the highest international level and to look at the capacity of a small state to have influence. The results of this study suggest that contrary to common perceptions, Irish diplomats on the Council did regularly disagree with the US on foreign-policy decisions and that the influence of EU membership was very limited—primarily because there was often no common European policy on the most controversial ...

The Political Preferences and Value Orientations of Irish Journalists
(2004)
Corcoran, Mary
Abstract:
There is a dearth of sociologically informed literature on Irish journalists. In her seminal paper. Kelly (1983) laid out the factors influencing the production of news in a general context, acknowledging in her analysis the limited range of research on the Irish media. She highlighted the ideological and personal preferences of journalists on the one hand, and their professional values and practices on the other as key determinants of the news agenda. However, to date no systematic study of Irish journalists has addressed these twin concerns. Drawing on data obtained from a national survey of daily news journalists in the Republic of Ireland conducted in the late 1990s, this paper offers some insight into the class position, political orientation and value system ofa key group of 'meaning producers'in Irish society. In particular, the article seeks to provide insight into the professional culture of Irish journalists and their views on the relationship between the messeng...

a Study into Developing Strategies for Internationally Competitive Irish-owned Consumer Brands
(2006)
O'Curry, Aidan, (Thesis)
Abstract:
<p>The objectives of this study centre on researching the complexities inherent within the development of Irish owned consumer brands. This is with particular emphasis on the international development of Irish brands and the ways by which International success can be realized. There has been a notable lack of Irish successes in International markets since that achieved by brands such as Guiness, Bailey’s, and Kerrygold. Through examinination of the literature on branding and contextualization of the study considering the Irish business environment, the research aims to explore ways in which indigenous Irish brands can grow and achieve international success. The first two chapters review the literature on branding. Chapter one looks at the literature concerning the concept of a brand. Furthermore, the chapter also discusses the strategic aspect of brand management. Chapter two looks at bran management in an international sense and the Global brand concept. The Literature review...

Women On The Frontline Across Irish Defence Forces
(2010)
Clonan, Tom
Abstract:
This year marks the 30th anniversary of the enlistment of women to the Irish Defence Forces. Whilst Irish women fought in the 1916 Rising and were combatants in the War of Independence and Civil War, they were largely excluded from the newly formed Free State Army of the 1920s. Dr. Bridget Lyons Thornton was an exception to this rule and was commissioned as an officer at the rank of Lieutenant in 1923. She was demobilised in 1924, and aside from the Army’s Nursing Service, the Defence Forces were to remain an all-male preserve for almost sixty years. The ‘men-only’ status of the Irish Defence Forces – which was largely out of step with international military and paramilitary trends in the 1970s – came under increasing scrutiny from the Irish government as the equality agenda took root in wider Irish society during this decade. By 1979, the Defence Amendment Act (No. 2) of 1979, titled ‘An Act to provide for the enlistment of women into the Defence Forces’ was passed. The first...

The Role of Education in Irish Public Service Broadcasting
(2004)
Grummell, Bernie
Abstract:
The media's contribution to the creation ofa healthy public sphere and civil society is the focus of public debate, especially in the light of concerns about the impact on them of the economic and political spheres. The media's ideal contribution to the development of a democratic society has traditionally been framed within the structures of the public service model of broadcasting, where education plays a crucial role. This article traces the evolution of education in Irish broadcasting, exploring the consequences for Irish democracy and civil life. It outlines how education's potential contribution has continually been shaped by the institutional demands of the political and economic systems, including the cultural nationalist ethos of early radio broadcasting, its role in the modernisation of Irish society, and the growth of commercialism and pluralist approaches. These trends had a formative influence on education's role in Irish broadcasting, and consequent...
