Nicola 6arvey Comhordaitheoir Sinsearach an Lonra um Thacaocht Leana agus Teaghlaigh Foreword The North West Child and 8amily Support Networ: was established in early 2019 with the support of the Preven/on, Partnership and 8amily Support Department in Tusla. It is one of ;ve similar networ:s across the county. These networ:s bring together all Community and Statutory Services in a geographic area who wor: with children, young people and their families. In each networ: you have representa/ves from schools, youth services, health services, family support services, childcare services, the .ardai, Tusla, as well as many of the locally based community groups in the area. The purpose of the networ: is to ensure that all members have a good understanding about the services that are available in their area to support children, young people and families. One of the main aims of establishing the Networ:s was to ensure that there is 0 no wrong door ” when families go loo:ing for support and this is achieved through each member’s awareness of the supports that are available from being part of the Networ:. 1any of the services in Networ:s are also trained in the 1eitheal approach which is a suppor/ve process for children and young people under 18 years who might be struggling either at home or at school. The 1eitheal supports the parent and young person to iden/fy what their needs are and puts supports in place around the family to meet these needs. 1eitheals are available across Donegal. This Directory will be a great resource to both the public and the services wor:ing in the North West area. 6uge than:s to all who contributed and a special word of than:s to the sta@ in Pobail le Ch(ile CDP who have wor:ed so hard pulling the Directory together and all who contributed to its content.

Paul Hernan, DEagarth ir .nomhachE Introduc"on This short directory was proposed at a mee/ng of the North West Donegal Child and 8amily Support Networ: as a means to gather together as much relevant informa/on about the enormous range of community, voluntary, family support and wellbeing organisa/ons and put it all together in one place. In these days of mobile phones and on2line informa/on it can be eItremely diJcult to ;nd the service you need or the phone number of a community group and we thought this liKle publica/on could help. In these pages we have grouped all the proLects, services and supports by theme and in alphabe/cal order and some organisa/ons appear several /mes depending on the range of services or programmes they o@er. The geographical area covered is the three Primary Care Team areas that cover the North West of Donegal 2 Derryveagh Dfrom Creeslough to .ortahor:EF Bunbeg and Derrybeg and the 8intown and Rosses area. Some of the services listed might have an address in LeKer:enny or elsewhere but they are included because they cover or provide services into the three PCT areas that ma:e up the North West. This boo:let is printed and also available online at a number of website loca/ons including www.donegalchn.org, www.parenthubdonegal.ie and www.cypsc.ie Donegal page. If you spot an error or want to suggest an entry for an organisa/on or service we have missed please send the informa/on to coordGpobail.org or NicolaC.6arveyGtusla.ie The on2line version will be updated. Also, you are welcome to post a lin: to our on2line directory on your own social media or website.

  • The Development of Grassroots Football in Regional Ireland: the Case of the Donegal League, 1971–1996
    33 Conor Curran ‘It has almost been an underground movement’. The Development of Grassroots Football in Regional Ireland: the Case of the Donegal League, 1971–1996 Abstract This article assesses the development of association football at grassroots’ level in County Donegal, a peripheral county lying in the north-west of the Republic of Ire- land. Despite the foundation of the County Donegal Football Association in 1894, soccer organisers there were unable to develop a permanent competitive structure for the game until the late 20th century and the more ambitious teams were generally forced to affiliate with leagues in nearby Derry city. In discussing the reasons for this lack of a regular structure, this paper will also focus on the success of the Donegal League, founded in 1971, in providing a season long calendar of games. It also looks at soccer administrators’ rivalry with those of Gaelic football there, and the impact of the nationalist Gaelic Athletic Association’s ‘ban’ on its members taking part in what the organisation termed ‘foreign games’. In particular, the extent to which the removal of the ‘ban’ in 1971 helped to ease co-operation between organisers of Gaelic and Association football will be explored. Keywords: Association football; Gaelic football; Donegal; Ireland; Donegal League; Gaelic Athletic Association Introduction The nationalist Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA), which is today the leading sporting organisation in Ireland despite its players having to adhere to its amateur ethos, has its origins in the efforts of schoolteacher and journalist Michael Cusack, who was eager to reform Irish athletics which was dominated by elitism and poorly governed in the early 1880s.

In writing this thesis, I hope that I have, in some way, managed to explain the reasons for this cultural diversity. This thesis would not have been written without the assistance of my two supervisors, Professor Mike Cronin and Professor Matthew Taylor. Professor Cronin’s assistance and knowledge has transformed the way I think about history, society and sport while Professor Taylor’s expertise has also made me look at the writing of sports history and the development of society in a different way.
