    DOCTOR OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION Nottingham Business School, Nottingham Trent University Nottingham, U.K. Making Sense of Public Administrative Leadership in the Republic of Ireland An Interpretive Research Project Cedric Chau Whitaker School of Government and Management Institute of Public Administration, Republic of Ireland 09 November 2012 1 Acknowledgement To God be all Glory, Honour and Praise “Among the gods there is none like you, Lord; no deeds can compare with yours.” (Book of Psalms chapter 86 verse 8, Holy Bible ) This work is dedicated to Ivy, Stephanie and Sabrina I also wish to express my gratitude to Professor Myra Hodgkinson of Nottingham Trent University, Professor Sharon Turnbull of the Leadership Trust and Dr. Daniel King of Nottingham Trent University for their tireless supervision and encouragement, without which this work would not have been completed. 2 Abstract This research is a research into the perceptions of senior public administrative leaders in the Republic of Ireland regarding their own leadership at the time when Ireland was facing a significant socio-economic crisis. The research examines the senior Irish administrative leaders’ own perspectives on how leadership should be exercised, and explores how they perceived the environment they were in and on how they made sense of their own leadership responses to the perceived environment. The research takes the Republic of Ireland as a national case study, and focuses on the public administrative leadership, which is the leadership of the implementation of public policies, rather than on the political leadership, which is the leadership of the selection of public policies (Montesquieu 1748, Ostrom 1973, Osborne and Plastrik 1997, Alimo-Metcalfe and Alban-Metcalfe 2003, Van Wart and Dicke 2008).

THE district included in this Explanatory Memoir rests altogether on Lower Carboniferous beds, if we except the very small tracb of Bencroy at the southern margin, It forms a portion of the Carboniferous region of the North-west of Ireland, where the different divisions are developed on a grand scale, and are disposed in the form of an elevated plateau deeply eroded into wide valleys, 80 that only fragments of the original upper surface of the plateau remain, as in the cases of Cuilcagh, Bencroy, and Lackagh. It is to be recollected, however, that even the highest beds capping these heights are by no means the uppermost strata of th? Carboniferous series, and that there is every probability that productive coal-measures of the Upper Carboniferous age once covered this whole region.

SHEET NUMBER 26 GSI BEDROCK 1:100,000 SHEET NO. 7 Outline Site Description This cave is a pothole around 40m deep, which connects underground to two other potholes (Polliniska and Pollnatagha) just across the border in County Fermanagh. Geological System/Age and Primary Rock Type The cave is formed within Lower Carboniferous limestone of the Dartry Limestone Formation. The facies of the formation vary greatly and in this area there are some 140m of well bedded cherty limestones. Main Geological or Geomorphological Interest Pollprughlisk (and Pollnatagha – Polliniska) is part of an integrated system of fracture controlled vertical caves connected by bedding controlled horizontal caves and is one of the best examples of this geomorphological feature in Ireland. The part of the system in Northern Ireland has been evaluated for its scientific interest. A surface river sinks into Polliniska, but a slight dry valley that continues to the Pollprughlisk entrance suggests it originally also flowed to that cave. At the cavers entrance there are water-worn beds of limestone some of which have foundered into small cave sections. Site Importance – County Geological Site; recommended for Geological NHA The Pollprughlisk – Pollnatagha – Polliniska Sytem is an excellent example of a horizontal cave system developed at a level controlled by bedding, with multiple fracture-controlled vertical shafts.
