    Hans Knot International Radio Report May 2016 Welcome everybody to another International Radio Report with a lot of thanks to all those who responded on last issue. Those with very interesting answers will be in this in next report, others have already had their personal answers in the mail. Let’s start this issue with an e mail from Roger Day, who’s working 50 years within the radio industry next month and started his career way back in 1966 on Swinging Radio England: ‘Hi Hans Details of my party to celebrate this milestone. It would be fantastic if you can come. Tickets on sale here. https://www.dreamland.co.uk/events/listings/eventdetail/175/9/fift y-shades-of-day-with-roger-twiggy-day Best Wishes Roger Day’. Roger Day in 1968 when he worked for Radio Caroline. Photo: Freewave Archive. Well thanks a lot Roger for the invitation but coming over to England during that weekend is not possible due to other commitments. Hopefully one or more of the readers will have a look at the above mentioned internetsite and decide to book a ticket. May I wish you a lot of pleasure and hopefully many more years in radio! Next one comes from Mike Terry who had sharp ears when listening to BBC Radio 2: ‘Hi Hans. It was surprising to hear BBC Radio 2 Sounds of the Sixties show plays my request: ‘I Love You Caroline’ and mention Radio Caroline on April 9th. As I expect you know this record is from the Pathfinders, a Birkenhead, Liverpool group.

    29Th June 2003 Pigs May Fly Over TV Studios by Bob Quinn If Brian

    29th June 2003 Pigs May Fly Over TV Studios By Bob Quinn If Brian Dobson, Irish Television’s chief male newsreader had been sacked for his recent breach of professional ethics, pigs would surely have taken to the air over Dublin. Dobson, was exposed as doing journalistic nixers i.e. privately helping to train Health Board managers in the art of responding to hard media questions – from such as Mr. Dobson. When his professional bilocation was revealed he came out with his hands up – live, by phone, on a popular RTE evening radio current affairs programme – said he was sorry, that he had made a wrong call. If long-standing Staff Guidelines had been invoked, he might well have been sacked. Immediately others confessed, among them Sean O’Rourke, presenter of the station’s flagship News At One. He too, had helped train public figures, presumably in the usual techniques of giving soft answers to hard questions. Last year O’Rourke, on the live news, rubbished the arguments of the Chairman of Primary School Managers against allowing advertisers’ direct access to schoolchildren. O’Rourke said the arguments were ‘po-faced’. It transpires that many prominent Irish public broadcasting figures are as happy with part-time market opportunities as Network 2’s rogue builder, Dustin the Turkey, or the average plumber in the nation’s black economy. National radio success (and TV failure) Gerry Ryan was in the ‘stable of stars’ run by Carol Associates and could command thousands for endorsing a product. Pop music and popcorn cinema expert Dave Fanning lucratively opened a cinema omniplex.

These formats were popular from 1970-2000, formative years for the feminist movement. Scholarship suggests a correlation between radio and women’s issues in Ireland but does not answer what elements create this. Here, I analyze 10 archival radio clips from Ireland’s national public service broadcaster, RTÉ, looking at how women’s issues are framed. After analyzing these clips, I found that Irish identity embedded in the shows allows for the discussion of controversial ideas. Radio promotes an inclusive environment, by dispelling shame and encouraging political conversation among women. This allows women to hear and be heard, creating a space for equal representation. Introduction As I was sitting on a bus from Dublin airport back to my apartment in Cork City, I heard a late-night radio show playing on the bus speakers.

She grew up in Bray, Co. Wicklow and was educated at the local Loreto school and by the Sacred Heart nuns in Mount Anville, Goatstown, Co. Dublin. She obtained an arts degree from University College Dublin and went on to run a successful language school along with her business partner Maureen Concannon from 1963 to 1974. She is married to Dermot (Derry) Hussey and has one son and two daughters.

  • Attitudes and Behaviour in the Second Referendum on the Treaty of Lisbon

    Attitudes and Behaviour in the Second Referendum on the Treaty of Lisbon

    Attitudes and Behaviour in the Second Referendum on the Treaty of Lisbon Richard Sinnott and Johan A. Elkink Geary Institute and School of Politics and International Relations University College Dublin Report prepared for the Department of Foreign Affairs July 2010 Introduction Twice within the last decade, Irish government proposals to ratify new EU treaties have been defeated by referendum (the referendum on the Treaty of Nice in 2001 and that on the Treaty of Lisbon in 2008). Both outcomes were reversed in follow-on referendums within a year or so of the defeat. Although the net outcome in each case was that Ireland could proceed to ratify the EU treaties in question, the experience was not one that any Irish government would wish to repeat. In this context, our report on attitudes and behaviour in the first Lisbon referendum concluded by noting the “undeniable need” to address the issue of public support for the process of European integration “not just now and not just in the run-up to a referendum but on an on-going and long-term basis”. 1 Our ability to analyse Irish attitudes to European integration and the behaviour consequent on such attitudes has been significantly enhanced by the decision to conduct a post- referendum poll not just after the 2008 referendum NO but also after the 2009 referendum YES. Beginning with a summary of the main trends in voting in Irish EU referendums, this report analyses the sources of the YES and NO votes and of abstention in the 2009 Lisbon referendum. Fieldwork for the poll was conducted by Millward Brown Lansdowne between 20 th and 23 rd November 2009.
