  • Political Constructions of Transnational EU Migrants in Ireland
    FROM THE MOUTHS OF JANUS: Political constructions of transnational EU migrants in Ireland Martin J. Power, Amanda Haynes, Eoin Devereux Introduction INTERNATIONAL RESEARCH INDICATES that recessionary periods may be accom- panied by a decline in the quality of relations between the majority population and migrant groups as the latter are at risk of being scapegoated for the economic down- turn. In that context, political leadership on the matter of immigration is of crucial importance, with political parties having a key role to play in framing how the public understand immigration. This article is based on research which examined how politicians construct non-Irish EU immigrants to Ireland through an analysis of the content of statements attributed to this group in the print media. The article focuses on those statements relating to welfare and the economy, which were among a larger range of themes identified in the wider study. Our sample of articles demonstrates that representatives on both the left and right of the political spectrum were found to commonly address the issue of immigration as a social problem, whether by contributing to its framing as a problem, or by seek- ing to contradict its problematisation. In particular, our analysis demonstrated that some representatives of mainstream parties contribute to a discourse whereby migrants are constructed as fraudulent and as burdens on the economy. Drawing on theories (McLaren and Johnson, ;Blumer,;Quillian,;Espenshadeand Hempstead, ) that link anti-immigrant hostility to perceptions of resource com- petition, our paper argues that such political constructions of EU migrants reflect a neoliberal understanding of citizenship which prioritises the economic citizen.

  • The Gonzaga Record 1985
    THE GONZAGA RECORD 1985 T h e G o n z a g a R e c o r d THE GONZAGA RECORD 1985 ^ <r Editor William Lee SJ. Gonzaga College Dublin SPONSORS We wish to thank the following for their support: The Bank of Ireland, Wilson and Hartnell, Appleby, Jewellers, The Irish Intercontinental Bank, The Allied Irish Banks, Robinson, Keefe and Devane. © G onzaga College, 1985 Designed and produced by Publications Management; Cover design by Jacques Teljeur. Typeset and printed by Brunswick Press Limited, Dublin. PREFACE I welcome this first issue of The Gonzaga Record and I congratulate Fr Lee and his associates on its production. A school annual serves many purposes: it constitutes an important record of a school’s development over many generations: it strengthens, over time, a school’s sense of identity; and it links the present pupils with those who have long since left. This, the first edition, is rightly strong on history, and though in the future the emphasis will undoubtedly shift from the past to the present, and deal equally with the large contribution made by the lay masters, this issue will certainly be seen as an important document on the origins and development of the ideals which have shaped Gonzaga. Noel Barber sj Headmaster EDITORIAL Perhaps The Gonzaga Record should have come into existence years ago. On the other hand, there is something to be said for waiting until an institution such as a school has settled down properly. For one thing, until comparatively recent years Gonzaga College was a very small school.

  • A Chronicle of Limerick Life
    A Chronicle of Limerick life As far back as 1690, when William I11 was besieging the then walled city, a Paris reprint is the authority for stating that a book by an Irish Capuchin priest was ~rin- ted in Limerick at that time. The next Limerick book by W.W. Gleeson recorded is "The Libertine School'd" which was printed by Samuel Terry & Boxon in 1722. Whilst it would be futile to attempt provide a constant guide to a domain of the numerous commericial, or job, printing houses that flourished in Limerick, since Caxton introduced to Westminster in 1476 the "Art, Greatest of all Arts", it goes without saying that the Shannonside city was well served with news down the years, as the follow- ing list shows. 1716The Limerick Newsletter, 1739-The Limerick Journal, 1749-Munster Journal, 1766The Limerick Chronicle, 1779-The Limerick Journal, 1788-The Limerick Herald and Munster Advertiser, 1790-The Limerick Weekly Magazine, 1804--The General Adver- ttzer , 1804-The General Advertizer or Limerick Gazette, 1811-The Limerick Evening Post, 1819-The Munster Telegraph, 1822-The Limerick News, 182CThe Irish Observer, 1831-The Limerick Herald, 1832-The Munster Journal and Limerick Commericial Reporter, 1833-The Limerick Guardian, 1834-The Limerick Times, 1837-The Limerick Standard, 1845-The Limerick and Clare Examiner, 185bThe Limerick Reporter and Tipperary Vindicator, 1851-The Munster News, 1853-The Limerick Herald, 1856-The Limerick Observer, The Limerick/Tipperary/Waterford Examiner 1863-The Southern Chronicle, 1867-The Citizens Paper, 1887-The Daily Southern Advertizer 1889-The Limerick Leader. 1893-The Limerick Star, 1898-The Limerick Echo, 1917-The Limerick Herald, 1923-The Limerick Herald, 1937-3LThe Limerick Herald.

  • Behind the Headlines: Media Coverage of Social Exclusion in Limerick City – the Case of Moyross
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by University of Limerick Institutional Repository Behind The Headlines: Media Coverage of Social Exclusion in Limerick City – The Case of Moyross Eoin Devereux, Amanda Haynes and Martin J. Power Introduction 1 In a media setting, and within the public mind, Ireland’s ‘Third City’ has acquired an intensely negative reputation over time. While there are many historical precedents for the maligning of the place’s image, it is generally agreed that the 1980s reached a new low within media practice with the ascription, in some media quarters, of the label ‘Stab City’ to Limerick. The blanket representation of Limerick as a place of crime, social disorder, poverty and social exclusion has continued and it has been amplified in recent years, particularly in the context of the feuds between rival drugs gangs, most of which have been played out in the city’s marginalized local authority estates such as Moyross, St. Mary’s Park, Southill and Ballinacurra Weston. Understandably, a variety of interest groups have expressed concern over the ways in which Limerick generally and marginalized areas in particular have been misrepresented by the mass media 2. Our focus in this chapter is not on the veracity or not of individual stories about Limerick, but rather our task is to get behind the headlines and to examine, in detail, the making of media messages concerning one socially excluded area in Limerick City, namely Moyross. We focus on the role of print and broadcast media professionals in the (mis)representation of this area.

Like a cultural emblem, the history of the club intertwines with the rich heritage of Limerick City and her people. c 1902 tinted postcard of Limerick Boat Club with views of Harvey's Quay, Howley's Quay, The Bishop's Quay, Russell's Quay and Steamboat Quay. Just visible is the spire of the red brick Presbyterian Church on the corner of Henry Street and Lower Mallow Street The boat house and the club house are built on Harbour Pier, or Wellesley Pier, and are accessed via Sarsfield Bridge. The corresponding jetty known as Poor Man's Kilkee is attached to Harvey's Quay and forms a lock. Wellesley Pier: Built c 1820. A substantial stone pier demonstrating the solid masonry skills of its time. While serving many functions, this pier is a landmark on the riverscape of Limerick and provides a recreational use along the River Shannon. Enlarged segment of a c 1902 photograph from which the previous tinted quayside postcard was based. In the background of the club house, you see Bannatyne's Granary, Spaight's Timber Mill & Stores, The Bishop's Palace, Newtown Pery Corn Mills, Mount Kennett Corn Mills and a sailing ship unloading by Harvey's Quay Cultural Heritage Cultural heritage is the legacy of both the physical and the intangible attributes of a group that are inherited from past generations, maintained in the present and bestowed for the benefit of future generations.
