National Integrity System Country Study Ireland
(2009)
BYRNE, ELAINE; DEVITT, JOHN
Abstract:
The purpose of the National Integrity Study on Ireland is to assess the National Integrity System, in theory (laws and institutions) and practice (how well they work). It provides a benchmark for measuring further developments and a basis for comparison among a range of countries. It studies signal areas requiring priority action and also form the basis from which stakeholders may assess existing anti-corruption initiatives. This study helps explain, for example,which institutions or sectors,otherwise known as ‘pillars’ have been more successful and why, whether they are mutually supportive and what factors support or inhibit their effectiveness. This creates a strong empirical basis that adds to our understanding of strong or weak performers.

Sums and Products of Indirect Utility Functions (NIRSA) Working Paper Series No. 6
(2002)
Conniffe, Denis
Abstract:
There are relatively few known demand systems that are theoretically satisfactory and practically implementable. This paper investigates building more complex demand systems from simpler known ones by considering sums and products of basic utility functions, an approach that does not seem to have been exploited previously in the literature. Some of the systems that result are interesting and usefully extend the range of available functions. Even the simpler systems that are not sufficiently flexible for the analysis of real world consumption data may still be useful for applied general equilibrium studies and for theoretical explication. Although some systems, instead of being new, turn out to be rediscoveries of already known ones, the way in which they arise as combinations of simple components is of interest in itself in showing them as sub sets of wider classes

Evaluating the Impact of the National Minimum Wage: Evidence from a New Survey of Firms in Ireland.

Evaluating the Impact of the National Minimum Wage: Evidence from a New Survey of Firms in Ireland.
(2002)
O'Neill, Donal; Nolan, Brian; Williams, James
Abstract:
In April 2000 the Irish government introduced a national minimum wage of £4.40 an hour. We use data from a specially designed survey of firms to estimate the employment effects of this change. Employment growth among firms with low-wage workers prior to the legislation was no different to that of firms not affected by the legislation. A more refined measure of the minimum wage, however, suggests that the legislation may have had a negative effect on employment for the small number of firms most severely affected by the legislation. However the size of these effects are still relatively modest.

The impact of digital content in the Junior Cycle curriculum
(2005)
Finlayson, Odilla; Farren, Margaret
Abstract:
Science Unleashed (SU) is a pilot project aimed at Junior Cycle students in second level schools in Ireland. It is part of the IMMERSE initiative (Innovative Multi-Media Educational Resources for Students and Educators) which aims to produce a range of digital learning and teaching materials for use in primary schools (Visual Arts and Sci-Spy) and post primary schools (Science Unleashed). In this pilot project of SU material, 15 video clips had been prepared and were trialed in two stages in 6 second level schools, 5 of which were in the Dublin region. The key evaluation was to examine the impact of the use of these video clips within the classroom both on the teachers’ methodology and also on students learning. A website accompanied the DVDs and provided additional support material. The National Centre for Technology in Education (NCTE) selected three schools in February 2004, which were evaluated in May 2004. A further 4 schools were trialed in October 2004, with their evaluation ...

Targeting poverty : lessons from monitoring Ireland's National Anti-Poverty Strategy

Targeting poverty : lessons from monitoring Ireland's National Anti-Poverty Strategy
(2000)
Layte, Richard; Nolan, Brian; Whelan, Christopher T.
Abstract:
In 1997 the Irish government adopted the National Anti-Poverty Strategy (NAPS), a global target for the reduction of poverty which illuminates a range of issues relating to official poverty targets. The Irish target is framed in terms of a relative poverty measure incorporating both relative income and direct measures of deprivation based on data on the extent of poverty from 1994. Since 1994 Ireland has experienced an unprecedented period of economic growth that makes it particularly important to assess whether the target has been achieved, but in doing so we cannot avoid asking some underlying questions about how poverty should be measured and monitored over time. After briefly outlining the nature of the NAPS measure, this article examines trends in poverty in Ireland between 1987 and 1997. Results show that the relative income and deprivation components of the NAPS measure reveal differential trends with increasing relative income poverty, but decreasing deprivation. However, th...

Managing Lean Supply and Innovation: Cross-cultural Knowledge Transfer in an Multi-national Company
(2008)
Donnellan, Brian; Xu, Susanna Xin; Costello, Gabriel; Golden, William
Abstract:
There is growing evidence that organisations are increasingly using the concept of lean supply to foster innovation. This paper considers key factors that influence this management approach in the context of the cross-cultural transfer of both codified and tacit knowledge embedded in a manufacturing process. It reports current empirical research on a multi-national company American Power Conversion (APC) s production line transfer from Galway, Ireland to Suzhou, P. R. China. It aims to explore the key factors influencing APC s lean manufacturing and knowledge transfer, and further provide a base-line from which pragmatic advice can be given to companies pursuing manufacturing or supply strategies. The research proposes to make a contribution on examining the key factors that influence the effective transfer of knowledge between two important countries in the global manufacturing landscape.

British Regional Growth and Sectoral Trends – Global and Local Spatial Econometric Approaches (NIRSA) Working Paper Series No. 49
(2009)
Curran, Declan
Abstract:
This paper looks beneath the surface of British sub-regional aggregate GVA growth over the period 1995-2004, by examining how the differing growth dynamics of the secondary and services sectors have influenced the overall regional growth process. A spatial econometric analysis is undertaken which tests regional secondary, services and aggregate real GVA per capita for absolute and conditional convergence at the NUTS 3 level. Both local and global spatial analysis techniques are utilised in order to gain a detailed insight into the growth process over the period 1995-2004. A number of explanatory factors influencing secondary, services, and aggregate regional economic growth are also identified.

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 Ecological Dynamics of the Rundale Agrarian Commune (NIRSA) Working Paper Series. No. 51.
(2009)
Slater, Eamonn ; Flaherty, Eoin
Abstract:
In the following account we apply a Marxist ‘mode of production’ framework that attempts to create a better understanding of the complex relationships between society and nature. Most of the discussion of the dualism of nature/society has tended to replicate this divide as reflected in the intellectual division between the natural sciences and the social sciences. We hope to cross this analytic divide and provide an analysis that incorporates both natural and social variables. Marx’s work on ecology and ‘mode of production’ provides us with the theoretical framework for our examination into the essential structures of the Irish rundale agrarian commune. His analysis of modes of production includes not only social relations (people to people) but also relations of material appropriation (people to nature) and therefore allows us to combine the social forces of production with the natural forces of production. The latter relations are conceptualized by Marx as mediated through the pro...

The sociology of trusted systems: the episteme and judgment of a technology (NIRSA) Working Paper Series. No.46
(2009)
De Paoli, Stefano; Kerr, Aphra; Storni, Cristiano
Abstract:
The goal of this paper is that of taking a first step toward a socio-technical conceptualization of trusted systems. In our view this might help in overcoming interdisciplinary differences and enhancing a common vocabulary for discussing trust issues for the Future of the Internet. In particular our main research question is to understand “to what extent and in which forms existing trusted systems embody social assumptions?” In order to answer this question we propose a new definition of Trusted Systems as situated Episteme: an apparatus of devices that set the conditions of possibility of certain practices while denying other practices. The conceptualization is augmented using the concept of technological mediation taken from the approach known as Actor-Network Theory (ANT). Our approach takes at its starting point the idea that it is possible to use sociological (from ANT) concepts to analyse and investigate the basic elements of Trusted Systems. This analysis opens up new possibi...

The postcolonial landscape aesthetic of the Quiet Man (NIRSA) Working Paper Series No. 45
(2009)
Slater, Eamonn
Abstract:
This paper explores how a cinematic representation of landscape appropriates not just the material objects of the landscape backdrop but can also simultaneously ‘capture’ an ideological framework in which the landscape objects are physically embedded in. This process of embedding an ideological framework is a consequence of society at some historical point intentionally designing the landscape to have a particular affect on the ‘seeing-eye’, - in effect constructing a garden. In choosing a considerable amount of the movie locations from within the grounds of Ashford Castle to represent Irish landscape the collective cinematographers of the Quiet Man appropriated an idealised English looking landscape - a garden which was designed to look ‘natural’. This type of garden is known as the Informal style or the Picturesque which originated in the eighteenth century England and is associated with the endeavours of Capability Brown and his followers. And the Picturesque style of garden was ...

Waste Management Strategy: A Cross-Border Perspective (NIRSA) Working Series Paper No. 2
(2001)
Fagan, Honor; O'Hearn, Denis; McCann, Gerard; Murray, Michael
Abstract:
The issue of waste management is examined from a social science perspective focusing on its social 'construction' and the issue of governance (Chapter 1). Chapter Two summarises the legal and policy parameters. Chapters Three and Four report on the findings based on interviews with 'key players' in terms of (a) their perception of the current situation on waste management; (b) their understanding of current 'drivers' of waste management strategy; (c) their perspectives on ways forward and on the potential for North/South co-operation in this area. Chapter Five analyses the issue in terms of democratic participation, sustainable development, and governance. Chapter Six on conclusions and recommendations charts a way forward, emphasising the need to follow the 'waste hierarchy', a genuine partnership process and better governance.

Americanisation and Irish Industrial Development, 1948-2008 (NIRSA) Working Paper Series. No.42
(2008)
Murray, Peter
Abstract:
Over the past sixty years, the Republic of Ireland has experienced two forms of americanisation. One of these was aid during the early post-war decades from the US government or from European agencies that owed their existence to US government funding, like the European Productivity Agency. The second was investment by US private corporations that began to increase in importance from the late 1960s. This paper notes some contrasts between the two. The early period was one in which a productivity drive was unsuccessfully attempted: the latter was one in productivity statistics were rendered increasingly incredible by the transfer pricing indulged in by multinational corporations. European `free’ (as opposed to `red’) trade unions were promoted by US government policy against a Cold War backdrop but, as US corporate investment has becomes increasingly important, Irish unions in the private sector came to experience the same `slow strangulation’ that was being visited on their US count...

Local Family Circles and Suburban Social Life in Ireland (NIRSA) Working Paper Series. No.43.

Gray, Jane; Corcoran, Mary; Peillon, Michel
Abstract:
This paper presents some findings from a research project that sought to generate an empirical account of the texture of social life in new Irish suburbs, through a comparative analysis of four suburban areas. The paper focuses on differences in the structure of family and kinship relations in different kinds of suburbs, and suggests some ways in which those differences are linked to levels of attachment to place amongst couples with young children. We found that, in new Irish suburbs, many families continue to have access to family circles in the locality or nearby. They rely more on kin for everyday social support when their children are very young, but the extent to which they increase their reliance on neighbours as children reach primary school age varies according to the socio-demographic composition of the suburb where they live.

Irish Rural Structure and Gaeltacht Areas
(2000)
Walsh, Jim
Abstract:
This is the report on a background study for the National Spatial Strategy (NSS) regarding the Irish Rural Structure. The main objective of the study was to "develop, using demographic, economic and geographical data, a typology of rural areas in Ireland and their main characteristics. The typology should be developed at a geographical scale that enables practical regional and subregional comparisons to be made". The study also examined: trends within these areas and the outlook for them; the relationship between urban and rural areas; and the role of infrastructure in rural area performance. This Summary presents selected principal findings only. More detailed results are contained in the Main Report. The overall study approach has been one of a high level of quantification, drawing mainly on the Census of Population 1996. This focus reflects a desire to contribute analytically to much discussed but seldom systematically assessed issues of rural development and rural perf...

The Suburban Front Garden: A spatial entity determined by social and natural processes (NIRSA) Working Paper Series. No. 41
(2008)
Slater, Eamonn ; Peillon, Michel
Abstract:
In this article, we argue that the physical structure of the front garden and its ecosystem is determined by an ensemble of diverse social and natural processes. The essential social form is that of visuality,- an abstract compositional force which provides conventions for assessing objects but also for reshaping their surface countenance and establishing their location within the garden. Accordingly, the social processes of visuality are materially realised in the labour processes of gardening, while their consumption is mediated through the concrete process of gazing. The identified social processes include the prospect, aesthetic and panoptic dimensions of visuality. Labour conceives and creates them, while the physical structures and the natural processes reproduce and maintain them beyond the production time attributed to gardening. But they are increasingly undermined by the natural tendency of the plant ecosystem to grow. Consequently, the essential contradiction of the front...

Conceptualising Trust : A Literature Review (NIRSA) Working Paper Series. No. 40

De Paoli, Stefano; Kerr, Aphra
Abstract:
In this paper we lay some theoretical foundations for examining governance, users and trust in online environments. Trust has been a central concern in the social sciences since, at least, the pioneering work of Georg Simmel's “The Philosophy of Money”, in which the author described trust as fundamental for the integration of the society. Later sociologists – like Niklas Luhmann and Anthony Giddens -, have attended to the problem of trust, clearly relating the concept to the issue of “risk in modern societies”. The goal of this paper is not to provide an exhaustive survey of 3 the sociological literature in this area but rather to begin to explore different disciplinary conceptions of trust. The PRTLI funded project from which this paper has emerged is an interdisciplinary team of mathematicians, computer scientists, engineers, designers and sociologists and it emerged early on that people had different understandings of the key challenges facing the internet, particularly as t...

The Irish Pharmaceutical Industry over the Boom Period and Beyond (NIRSA) Working Paper Series. No. 39

Abstract:
The pharmaceutical industry has been one of the strongest performing sectors of the Celtic Tiger era. During the past two decades, employment growth in the sector has been strong and continuous, even when, in recent years, employment in other manufacturing sectors has been contracting. Although positive in itself, from a dynamic regional development perspective it is important to explore the qualitative changes in the types of activities that are conducted in Ireland. Adopting a global production network approach, the paper examined Ireland’s changing role in global production networks within the pharmaceutical industry, focussing on the different components of manufacturing and R&D. The analysis shows that Ireland’s involvement in manufacturing has shifted in the direction of relatively higher value generating activities. Within R&D, although the level of value creation has increased substantially, Ireland’s involvement remains concentrated in the (relatively) lower value g...

The drivers of transnational subsidiary evolution: the upgrading of process R&D in the Irish pharmaceutical industry (NIRSA) Working Paper Series. No. 38

Abstract:
This paper contributes to the theory of subsidiary evolution in large corporations through an examination of the driving forces behind recent upgrading of process R&D activities in the Irish pharmaceutical industry. It is based on a survey of 80 pharmaceutical establishments in Ireland and a follow-up set of 52 semi-structured, face-to-face interviews with senior staff at 12 of the surveyed establishments carried out in 2006. We show that vigorous growth is occurring in the incidence of process R&D activity among manufacturing subsidiaries of transnational pharmaceutical firms located in Ireland. The paper supports the utility of a multi-level systems perspective on subsidiary evolution as proposed by Tavares (2001). The external environment, internal (corporate) environment and subsidiary drivers are seen to drive upgrading in a systemic way, whereby various drivers mutually interact, co-evolve and operate through each other. In further support of Tavares, the primary drive...

Abstract:
A Diaspora strategy is an explicit policy initiative by a state with regard to developing its relationship with its Diaspora. Ireland at present does have a small number of schemes designed to foster linkages and services to its Diaspora. By no means, however, are these schemes part of a larger strategy and it is now time to consider how they can be gathered together and extended under the umbrella of a larger, overall Irish Diaspora strategy

Software, objects and home space (NIRSA) Working Paper Series. No. 35

Abstract:
Through a series of interrelated developments, software is imbuing everyday objects with capacities that allow them to do additional and new types of work. On the one hand, objects are remade and recast through interconnecting circuits of software that makes them machine-readable. On the other, objects are gaining calculative capacities and awareness of their environment that allow them to conduct their own work, with only intermittent human oversight, as part of diverse actant-networks. In the first part of the paper we examine the relationship between objects and software in detail, constructing a taxonomy of new types of coded objects. In the second part we explore how the technicity of coded objects is mobilised to transduce space by considering the various ways in which coded objects are reshaping home life in different domestic spaces.
