    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.Thc sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Pagc(s}". If it was possible to obtain the missing pagc(s) or section, they arc spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed cither blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame* If copyrighted materials were deleted you will find a target note listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

  • Forecast Error: How to Predict an Election: Part 1: Polls
    FORECAST ERROR: HOW TO PREDICT AN ELECTION: PART 1: POLLS "Any attempt to predict the future depends on it resembling the past"[0423l] Cartoon from the Daily Mirror, May 27 1970, as reproduced in “The British General Election of 1970”, Butler and Pinto‐Duschinsky. 1971; ISBN: 978‐1‐349‐01095‐0 1. INTRODUCTION The "Forecast Error" series of articles started examining election predictors in 2015. Each article considered many predictors, but each article covered just one election. This article marks a new chapter in the "Forecast Error" series where we examine an individual class of predictor more closely across many elections. We begin with possibly the most prominent: opinion polls. A political opinion poll is a method of assessing a population’s opinion on the matters of the day by asking a sample of people. A subset is the voter intention poll, which asks each sampled person how they intend to vote in an election. Pollsters then turn their intention into votes by applying certain assumptions. Those assumptions may not be valid over the long term, or even from one election to the next. The problem faced when writing about opinion polls is not how to start writing, it's how to stop. It is entirely possible to write a full article about any given facet of opinion polling, and examples immediately spring to mind: whether one should still use "margin of error" for online panel polling, Nate Silver's insight regarding the borrowing of strength from polls in similar states, is it meaningful to speak of a polling threshold, and so on.

  • GAA Club – Overview
    CIT Student GAA Club – Overview Camogie – Gaelic Football – Hurling – Ladies Gaelic Football - Handball As befits a County with Cork’s tradition in Gaelic Games, GAA has occupied a central role in the development of sport in the Cork Institute of Technology. The Cork Regional Technical College, as it was formally known until its change of title in 1997 to Cork Institute of Technology, first occupied its Bishopstown campus in September 1974. The new college buildings were officially opened by that great Cork GAA exponent and Taoiseach of the day, Mr. Jack Lynch, in December 1977. A student GAA football team was formed in 1975 and the hurling team commenced playing activities in 1976. In the same way the campus has evolved and expanded so too has the GAA Club which as well as being the oldest sporting club at the Institute, with over 400 active members is also the biggest.

Fingal County Council has, like many families and enterprises in the community, made painful adjustments to both a rapid reduction in economic activity and revenues, on the one hand, and to directives from national government on cutbacks and staff reductions, on the other. Despite these difficulties, the people of Fingal have responded in a remarkable way to the often severe problems these circumstances have created for individuals, families and community groups. I am very proud to acknowledge the contribution of Fingal County Council staff in working with many groups and community organisations, supporting those efforts and initiating new programmes throughout Fingal. This Council has also responded to the severe difficulties facing businesses in Fingal and will bring forward reductions in the Annual Rate on Valuation to offset the major difficulties facing businesses because of adjustments in the rates advised by the national Valuation Office. Our county is now a national and international mix of peoples and cultures. This is a great strength going forward for it provides our county with direct links with the many countries of origin from which many of our newest citizens have come.

  • “You'll Never Kill Our Will to Be Free”: Damien Dempsey's “Colony” As A
    “You’ll Never Kill Our Will To Be Free”: Damien Dempsey’s “Colony” as a Critique of Historical and Contemporary Colonialism MARTIN J. POWER, AILEEN DILLANE, and EOIN DEVEREUX Abstract: This article, through a musical, lyrical, and contextual analysis of the Irish recording artist Damien Dempsey’s song “Colony,” probes contemporary discourses concerning colonialism and postcolonialism. In presenting Dempsey’s work through this lens, we seek to interrogate how one singer employs protest song as a vehicle for social critique in a nuanced fashion. Our reading reveals different levels of meaning, in part dependent on contextual knowledge. Furthermore, the simple structure belies the complexity of the issues involved in any discussion of postcoloniality in Ireland and beyond, and because of this the song is rendered all the more potent and persuasive. Résumé : Cet article, à travers une analyse de l’enregistrement de la musique, des paroles et du contexte de 44 (2): 29-52. 44 (2): la chanson « Colony » de l’artiste irlandais Damien Dempsey, sonde les discours contemporains au sujet du colonialisme et du postcolonialisme. En présentant les travaux de Dempsey sous ce prisme, nous cherchons à interroger la façon subtile par laquelle le chanteur utilise la chanson engagée comme un véhicule de critique MUSICultures sociale. Notre lecture révèle différents niveaux de sens, dépendant en partie d’une connaissance contextuelle. En outre, la structure simple dément la complexité des questions qui reviennent dans toutes les discussions au sujet du postcolonialisme en Irlande et au-delà, et cette chanson en est, pour cette raison, d’autant plus puissante et convaincante.
