  • St. Mary's College Annual 2011
    ST. MARY’S COLLEGE ANNUAL 2011 111th* ACADEMIC YEAR PUBLISHED BY ST. MARY’S COLLEGE CSSp, RATHMINES, DUBLIN 6. COVER ILLUSTRATIONS This year our cover features a collage. If you look closely you will see each piece of the collage is, in fact, a photograph which appears somewhere in this edition of the College Annual. The collage was created using a specialised software programme designed for such a purpose. This beautiful snow scene (photographed on one of the many snowy mornings of this academic year) mimics the cover shot featured on the last edition of the Annual. However, this photograph shows the new railings which were installed in the school during the summer of 2010. We believe the former railings around the front pitch were in situ for at least a century. Our thanks to Ian Murray, father of student Willow Murray, for this and many other photographs which appear in this edition. The Arms of the College SYMBOLISM The Escutcheon is quartered. On the right base (as you observe it) there is the unchangeable five point silver star with golden rays, symbolic of fidelity to its purpose of shedding light and guidance in the pursuit of Him Who enlightens every man and Who is the “Bright and Morning Star”. (Apoc XXII. 16). The upper right bears the Cross, the emblem of trials and difficulties. It is in gold on a silver ground, symbolic of the precious outcome of trials well borne. These two symbols combine to produce the College motto: “Fidelitas in Arduis” (Fidelity in Difficulties). On the upper left quarter there is the Dove in silver, symbolic of the Holy Ghost, from which descend seven golden rays, the seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit, essential in the practice of “Fidelitas in Arduis”.

  • An Open Letter to the Government of Ireland
    An Open Letter to the Government of Ireland As scientists in Ireland and Irish scientists abroad, we are committed to making our contribution to Ireland’s recovery by doing the best and most innovative research possible. However, we are deeply concerned about the research policies implemented by the current government. The policy of sustained investment in scientific excellence that helped build a vibrant scientific community in Ireland over the past fifteen years has given way to a short- sighted drive for commercialisable research in a very limited set of prescribed areas. Along with an investment in research that is below the EU average, steadily decreasing core grants to universities, and a constant demand to increase student numbers, these policies are creating a perfect storm for scientific research and education in Ireland and are undermining our abilities to carry out worldclass research, to retain scientific talent in the country and also to educate future scientists and build a real and sustainable knowledge economy. Innovation needs a strong core in basic research A wealth of economic research shows that sustained investment in basic research pays huge dividends economically, not just through the generation of intellectual property and the development of new companies, but also by building human capital and by attracting companies that hope to benefit from a vibrant research community. Countries with long- established and functional research systems that successfully underpin economic development rely on a well-balanced mix between basic and applied research. The Irish Government’s current investment in applied research is welcome and forms an essential part of an overall strategy to generate economic return from scientific research.
