Editoria l As this editorial is being written the upswell of public anger at the government's ill conceived plan to 'reform' National Archives continues to grow There is no evident public support for the proposals floated by the Secretary for Internal Affairs (Dr Roger Blakeley) and by his Minister (Hon Warren Cooper) to restructure the institution into mini business units, to transfer real power to the hands of the Secretary himself, and by passing the Chief Archivist, to place the effective custody of the nation's archival treasures in the hands of the Secretary's nominee, a commercial general manager In examining the supposed logic of the scheme, an editorialist in the Centre for Business History's Newsletter has aptly summed up the reaction of most 'Pull the other one1' Since late August National Archives has had unprecedented publicity Public meetings have been reported in the press and on radio Leader writers and columnists have expressed misgiving There have been letters to newspapers Electors have made approaches to politicians There have been tense discussions between the Sectetary for Internal Affairs and opponents of the scheme And the previously inconceivable has become reality Pickets at the National Archives head office have been mounted by deeply concerned supporters Visiting National Archives to spread his message, Dr Blakeley has been compelled to slip m by the back door A littl e less radically the evening of 26 September witnessed the rejection in the House of Representatives of the Estimates Report of the Internal Affairs Select Committee, the opposition parties combining to defeat the government Opposition members continue to table questions So far, with the exception of a trickle of personal responses from Dr Blakeley to published criticisms, none explicit about how his efficiencies will be achieved, the debate has been curiously onesided Apart from a rambling radio contribution from a former Cabinet Minister, no support fot the proposals has been expressed After a near month's silence, Cooper's sole recent statement has been a regrettable personal attack on senior officers of ARANZ Clearly, for the newly elected Mayor of Queenstown, the old principle of damn the message, kill the messengers, remains an article of faith The restructuting exercise appears to have been clumsily handled from the outset In announcing Dr Blakeley's appointment as Secretary í m April, State Services Commissioner D Ê Hunn lauded his outstanding administrative abilities But for Dr Blakeley the transition from the relative comfort of heading a small policy ministry to directing a diverse operational department has been less than smooth It is uncertain just who, or which agencies, had input into the Blakeley proposals What is certain is that the proposals were formulated within weeks of Dr Blakeley's taking office While it has been retrospectively asserted that the 1994 McDermott Miller review constituted a consultation phase, this is unsustainable Moreover, it was suggested on 8 August, by Deputy Secretary Joel George, that the resulting seriously flawed document had been shelved because of incomplete costings and inadequate analysis It is strange then, given the expressed concern about efficiencies, that the restructuring scheme should have been placed before Cabinet without a cost benefit analysis or even indicative costings Why it was approved by Cabinet without such basic data remains a mystery The whole affair raises serious questions when it is realised that the present proposals, though purporting to be based on the McDermott Miller review, bear littl e relation to the reviewers' recommendations Despite a plethora of 'justifications', Dr Blakeley has been unable to convince critics his plans possess either merit or logic Significantly, at a meeting with stakeholder representatives held on 26 September, the Secretary could provide no hard evidence that his plans either should or could, work Instead, those assembled were enjoined to have faith New Zealand led the world in public sector reform and where New Zealand led others would ultimately follow The situation has been further confused by contradictory statements, by Dr Blakeley himself, and by Dr Blakeley and his Minister Even the status of the proposals has been in doubt On Checkpoint, on 23 August, Hon Warren Cooper stated "this is a possible change at Cabinet we decided to have a look at the thing They (Internal Affairs) are going to report back' Dr Blakeley, however, has consistently maintained that the restructuring is carrying out government policy, which he may not change In terms of how the new structure would operate, Dr Blakeley, however, has consistently maintained that the restructuring is carrying out government policy, which he may not change In terms of how the new structure would operate, Dr Blakeley is, at best, hazy For instance, while he early argued that appraisal decisions, the determining of which archives should be kept and which not, would devolve to his policy unit, he assured stakeholders on 26 September that this function would remain (as the present law requires) with the Chief Archivist Yet here are indications that he is already having third thoughts Even the vexed question of vi whether a user pays regime will be instituted remains up in the air While Dr Blakeley gave stakeholders an absolute assurance this would not be so on 26 September, on the following day, on Radio Pacific, the Minister stated that he would not 'skirt round' the fact that user charges might be considered The performance of Minister and Secretary has not been one to engender public confidence It is arguable that in criticism to date too much emphasis has been placed on possible outcomes of the projected restructuring, on the privatisation of archives services and the introduction of user charges for access, rather than on root constitutional infringements

  • Background to Stanwix Hospital and Alms-Houses
    Background to Stanwix Hospital and Alms - houses The familiar red - brick terrace of small hou ses, in their own grounds, has stood in Kickham Street, Thurles, since 1889. Colloquially known in Thurles as “The Widows’ Homes”, their official title is “The Stanwix Hospital and Alms - houses”. The first residents , ten widows, moved in at the beginning of September 1890. There was a M atron to supervise, and by the end of 1898 the 2 nd phase of the complex was completed, with the addition of a further 8 houses. Ever since, they have provided sheltered housing for women in retirement, faithful to th e vision of the founder Emma Sla ughter Stanwix. Emma Stanwix , an English woman, an absente e Landlord, a private and reserved lady, an arti st, lived for many years in Versailles, France. S he i nherited her estate of 14 town s - lands in Moycarkey p arish from her father Thomas Sla ughter Stanwix, a high - ranking Officer in the English army. Wilson’s Di rectory lists Shanbally Castle, near Moycarkey, as the residence of Thomas Sla ughter Stanwix , though he rarely, if ever, lived there. Away on army duties, he was commissioned a s Lieutenant - General in 1806 . Going further back in history, during the Cromwellian Wars (1649 - ’52 ) , Cromwell and his forces spent over six months in Mid Tipperary. His cannon shelled Moycarkey Castle, doing considerable damage. Moycarkey Castle was the home of the Cantwell family, An glo - Normans, at the time. William and John Cantwell held substantial lands, and these were confiscated in the Cromwellian Plantation (1653).

The bridge has a 43 meter span, 3 meter width and is 3 meters above the water. Today 30,000 people walk across the bridge every day! Before the bridge was built people would take ferries across the river. The ferries were often overcrowded and sometimes even capsized. When the bridge was constructed the ferries became redundant. William Walsh was the former ferry owner and a city alderman. He was compensated with £3,000 and a lease on the bridge for 100 years.

  • First Plenary Council of Australasia, 14-29 November 1885 – Part 1
    First Plenary Council of Australasia, 14-29 November 1885 – Part 1 First Published in The Swag, Vol. 26, No. 2, Winter 2018, pp. 8-12, republished with permission by Catholics For Renewal 8 June 2018 This is the fourth in a seriesof articles looking at the particular (provincial and plenary) councils of the Catholic Church held in Australia between 1844 and 1937. It examines, in 2 Parts, the 1885 First Australasian Plenary Council which officially brought together the Churches in Australia and New Zealand for the first time. Part 2 will appear in the Spring 2018 edition. In the period 1870-1885 fourteen particular councils were held in English-speaking mission territories across the world: 3 in Canada, 1 in England, 1 in Ireland, 8 in the USA and 1 in Australasia. The 1875 Maynooth Plenary in Ireland would significantly influence the Australasian council. Developments and preparations Between 1869 and 1885 three new dioceses were established in Australia - Ballarat (1874), Sandhurst (1874) and Rockhampton (1882) – as well as the Vicariate Apostolic of Queensland (1877)). In 1874 Melbourne became an Archdiocese and Metropolitan See for the new Province of Melbourne which in 1885 had 5 suffragan sees: Hobart, Perth, Adelaide, Ballarat and Sandhurst. Councils representing all the churches of Australia would now have to be ‘plenary’, not ‘provincial’. The 1869 Provincial Council had made no plans for a follow-up, but in 1882 Archbishop Vaughan sought permission to convoke a provincial council for Sydney. The Sacred Congregation de Propaganda Fide (‘Propaganda’) was supportive, but urged him to plan carefully and make use of the 1st Vatican Council (1869-1870) and the councils of Westminster, Baltimore and Québec.

The work assesses the functionality and operation, in both Ireland and the US, of Irish culture as a dynamic but discordant friction within the Anglophone world. Ireland’s unique geopolitical position and its religious constitution nurtured an agrarianism that shared its intellectual roots with American republicanism. This study details how the crisis of Irish land invigorated both traditions as an effective oppositional culture to the processes of modernity.

  • 2007 Annual Report Attributable to Catherine Waller of Cathedral House 1 Reporting Entity
    Parable of the Talents 14For it is as if a man, going on a journey, summoned his slaves and 25entrusted his property to them; 15to one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one, to each according to his ability. Then he went away. 16The one who had received the five talents went off at once and traded with them, and made five more talents. 17In the same way, the one who had the two talents made two more talents. 18But the one who had received the one talent went off and dug a hole in the ground and hid his master’s money. 19After a long time the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them. 20Then the one who had received the five talents came forward, bringing five more talents, saying, “Master, you handed over to me five talents; see, I have made five more talents.” 21His master said to him, “Well done, good and trustworthy slave; you have been trustworthy in a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your master.” 22And the one with the two talents also came forward, saying, “Master, you handed over to me two talents; see, I have made two more talents.” 23His master said to him, “Well done, good and trustworthy slave; you have been trustworthy in a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your master.” 24Then the one who had received the one talent also came forward, saying, “Master, I knew that you were a harsh man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you did not scatter seed; 25so I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent in the ground.

    BEFORE THE AUCKLAND UNITARY PLAN INDEPENDENT HEARINGS PANEL IN THE MATTER of the Resource Management Act 1991 and the Local Government Act 2010 (Auckland Transitional Provisions) AND IN THE MATTER of the Proposed Auckland Unitary Plan 2013 (PAUP), Topic 032 – Historic Heritage Schedules Statement of Evidence by Heike Brigitte Lutz on behalf of The Roman Catholic Bishop of the Diocese of Auckland Dated 28 August 2015 Executive Summary 1. My name is Heike Brigitte Lutz. I am a building conservation consultant providing evidence for the Roman Catholic Bishop of the Diocese of Auckland with regards to Topic 032-Historic Heritage Schedules. My evidence includes four properties owned by the Bishop, St Mary’s Church in Northcote, St Michael’s School in Remuera, St Joseph’s Primary School in Otahuhu, and St Patrick’s Presbytery in Pukekohe. 2. Auckland Council proposes to schedule St Mary’s Church, St Joseph’s Primary School building, and St Patrick’s Presbytery in Appendix 9.1 of the Proposed Auckland Unitary Plan. For St Michael’s Church, School and Presbytery the Council proposed to enlarge the extent of place of the existing scheduling of the church and presbytery, and to include the original school building in the schedule. 3. The Roman Catholic Bishop of the Diocese of Auckland requests to remove St Mary’s Church , St Joseph’s Primary School building and St Patrick’s Presbytery from the schedule in Appendix 9.1 on the basis that these places have not sufficient cultural heritage values to warrant scheduling. 4. For the St Michael’s precinct the Roman Catholic Bishop of the Diocese of Auckland desires to reduce the extent of place proposed by Council and remove the original school building from the schedule and delete the reference to the school in the name.
