The Ireland/Northern Ireland Programme covers all of Northern Ireland and the six Border Counties of Ireland: Cavan, Donegal, Leitrim, Louth, Monaghan and Sligo. The Programme aims to address the economic and social disadvantage that can result from the existence of a border. Throughout the lifetime of the INTERREG IIIA Programme (2000–2008) over 182 million has been invested in genuine cross border projects € throughout the entire eligible area. This funding has been distributed through a number of different organisations such as Government departments working alongside locally developed Partnerships (Implementing Agents) on both sides of the border. The East Border Region INTERREG IIIA Partnership was appointed as an Implementing Agent and as a result has funded 38 genuine cross border projects across the East Border Region to the value of approximately 25 million. We felt it was important to document a brief explanation € of each of our funded projects, hence the creation of this publication. Contents Welcome

We have demonstrated over the past years in very practical and positive ways what the Workers' Party stands for. In and out of Parliament we have consistently upheld the interests of the working class. The struggle to build and expand the Workers' Party is not an easy one. We need only look back over the past fifteen or so years to see the progress we have made. In the February election of 1973 we put forward 10 candidates and received a total of 15,000 votes.

  • Writing Identity and Space in Irish Poetry 1963-2016
    1 "EVERY MOVE IS PUNCTUATED": WRITING IDENTITY AND SPACE IN IRISH POETRY 1963-2016 A dissertation presented by Lauren Rebecca Thacker to The Department of English In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the field of English Northeastern University Boston, Massachusetts April, 2016 2 "EVERY MOVE IS PUNCTUATED": WRITING IDENTITY AND SPACE IN IRISH POETRY 1963-PRESENT by Lauren Rebecca Thacker ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English in the College of Social Sciences and Humanities of Northeastern University April, 2016 3 ABSTRACT Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland underwent political, social, and economic changes in the late twentieth century that resulted in changing relationships between self, place, and space. I read poets from across Ireland and analyze how representations of space relate to cultural and individual identity. I argue that poetry can define space without establishing boundaries and while allowing for, and even depending upon, the experience of simultaneous and contradictory meaning. My project purposefully looks at poets from the North and the Republic—Ciaran Carson, Eavan Boland, Tom French, and Leontia Flynn—to suggest that the socio-political and socio-economic events, such as the Troubles and the Celtic Tiger, influence poetry across the island. Reading poetry with close attention to national, cultural, and spatial boundaries can obscure rather than reveal meaning, however, attention to such boundaries is common in studies of Irish literature and indeed, studies of Irish politics and social life in the twentieth century. In my analysis of the relationship between place and self in Irish poetry, I note the diminishing importance of borders and boundaries and trace a shift from a place-based identities to identities based in mobility.

  • Irish Literature Since 1990 Examines the Diversity and Energy of Writing in a Period Marked by the Unparalleled Global Prominence of Irish Culture
    BREW0009 15/5/09 11:17 am Page 1 Irish literature since 1990 Irish literature since 1990 examines the diversity and energy of writing in a period marked by the unparalleled global prominence of Irish culture. The book is distinctive in bringing together scholars from across Europe and the United States, whose work explores Irish literary culture from a rich variety of critical perspectives. This collection provides a wide-ranging survey of fiction, poetry and drama over the last two decades, considering both well-established figures and newer writers who have received relatively little critical attention before. It also considers creative work in cinema, visual culture and the performing arts. Contributors explore the central developments within Irish culture and society that have transformed the writing and reading of identity, sexuality, history and gender. The volume examines the contexts from which the literature emerges, including the impact of Mary Robinson’s presidency in the Irish Republic; the new buoyancy of the Irish diaspora, and growing cultural confidence ‘back home’; legislative reform on sexual and moral issues; the uneven effects generated by the resurgence of the Irish economy (the ‘Celtic Tiger’ myth); Ireland’s increasingly prominent role in Europe; the declining reputation of established institutions and authorities in the Republic (corruption trials and Church scandals); the Northern Ireland Peace Process, and the changing relationships it has made possible. In its breadth and critical currency, this book will be of particular BREWSTER interest to academics and students working in the fields of literature, drama and cultural studies. Scott Brewster is Director of English at the University of Salford Michael Parker is Professor of English Literature at the University of Central Lancashire AND Cover image: ‘Collecting Meteorites at Knowth, IRELANTIS’.
