  • The Development of Grassroots Football in Regional Ireland: the Case of the Donegal League, 1971–1996
    33 Conor Curran ‘It has almost been an underground movement’. The Development of Grassroots Football in Regional Ireland: the Case of the Donegal League, 1971–1996 Abstract This article assesses the development of association football at grassroots’ level in County Donegal, a peripheral county lying in the north-west of the Republic of Ire- land. Despite the foundation of the County Donegal Football Association in 1894, soccer organisers there were unable to develop a permanent competitive structure for the game until the late 20th century and the more ambitious teams were generally forced to affiliate with leagues in nearby Derry city. In discussing the reasons for this lack of a regular structure, this paper will also focus on the success of the Donegal League, founded in 1971, in providing a season long calendar of games. It also looks at soccer administrators’ rivalry with those of Gaelic football there, and the impact of the nationalist Gaelic Athletic Association’s ‘ban’ on its members taking part in what the organisation termed ‘foreign games’. In particular, the extent to which the removal of the ‘ban’ in 1971 helped to ease co-operation between organisers of Gaelic and Association football will be explored. Keywords: Association football; Gaelic football; Donegal; Ireland; Donegal League; Gaelic Athletic Association Introduction The nationalist Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA), which is today the leading sporting organisation in Ireland despite its players having to adhere to its amateur ethos, has its origins in the efforts of schoolteacher and journalist Michael Cusack, who was eager to reform Irish athletics which was dominated by elitism and poorly governed in the early 1880s.

MESSAGE from the CHAIR The County Kildare Decade of Commemorations Committee, established by Kildare County Council in 2015, sought new and interesting ways to celebrate the centenary of the 1916 Rising. The Committee’s work continues as we move toward the anniversaries of the War of Independence, the Civil War and the birth of the Irish state. While recognising that possible difficulties and challenges lie ahead, we also re-iterate the positive approach of the National Expert Advisory Group and its position that commemorations should be inclusive, relevant and offer an objective exploration of our history. The Committee remains committed to developing a strategy of commemoration and coordinating events in line with the national programme 2018–2023. The success of its 2016 Commemorative Programme can be held up as a template of how the committee will proceed. Cllr. Pádraig McEvoy Chair of the Co. Kildare Decade of Commemorations Committee Kildare Decade of Commemorations Committee — Mission Statement The aim of the programme is to establish the most appropriate way in which to mark the centenaries within the county. The nature of the programme is expansive, delivering a series of commemorative events, school programmes, publications, etc., but with the unique intention of creating a legacy of research and cultural and artistic material for future generations.

He previously headed the campaigns in 1998 and 1999. Fundraising is an essential part of the Association's past and future. ‘Yes’ we are in a position to expand our services and about a quarter of our annual expenditure is funded by the HSE. However, the remainder of the €1.75 million expenditure comes from fundraising and donations. Currently, we are developing a six bedroom Renal Support House adjacent to the Cork University Hospital. Negotiations to provide a four to five station holiday dialysis centre in Tramore, Co. Waterford are advancing to accommodate up to sixteen local patients for year-long dialysis. The new purchase of an additional holiday house in Killarney is ready for the season and, indeed, the Renal Support Centre in Beaumont is currently undergoing a facelift (see page 31). We have ambitions to provide an accommodation and holiday facility on the grounds of Merlin Park Hospital in Galway and, for the first time in many years, we are in a position to commit Contents... €250,000 to kidney research projects, over a five year period. 2 EDITORIAL FRONT COVER 4 RAY D’ARCY, IKA AMBASSDOR Ray D’Arcy, 6 ORGAN DONATION AND TRANSPLANTATION 2019 Ambassador for the IKA’s 2018 Organ Donor 8 TRANSPLANT BABY JOY Awareness campaigns.

  • Merger Announcement -M/18/008-Cmnl /North Dublin Publications
    MERGER ANNOUNCEMENT - M/18/008-CMNL /NORTH DUBLIN PUBLICATIONS Proposed acquisition by CMNL Limited of joint control of North Dublin Publications Limited 8 February 2018 The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission has today cleared the proposed transaction, whereby CMNL Limited would acquire joint control of North Dublin Publications Limited. The proposed transaction was notified under the Competition Act 2002, as amended (“the Act”) on 5 January 2018. Given that both CMNL Limited and North Dublin Publications Limited carry on a “media business” within the State, the proposed transaction constitutes a “media merger” for the purposes of Part 3A of the Act. The Commission has formed the view that the proposed transaction will not substantially lessen competition in any market for goods or services in the State and, accordingly, that the acquisition may be put into effect subject to the provisions of section 28C(1) of the Act. The Commission will publish the reasons for its determination on its website no later than 60 working days after the date of the determination and after allowing the parties the opportunity to request that confidential information be removed from the published version. Additional Information CMNL Limited publishes the following five paid-for regional newspapers in the State: Anglo Celt; Meath Chronicle; Westmeath Examiner; Westmeath Independent; and Connaught Telegraph and one free regional newspaper: Offaly Independent. CMNL Limited also operates the websites of each of the six regional newspapers and the website of the Celtic Media Group, www.celticmediagroup.ie . CMNL Limited supplies pre-press services to third party newspapers.

  • Research on Use of the Irish Language on Radio
    Research on use of the Irish language on radio January 2018 Dr John Walsh, National University of Ireland, Galway Dr Rosemary Day, Mary Immaculate College, University of Limerick 1. Introduction The Irish language has had a role in broadcasting since the establishment of Ireland’s first radio station 2RN in 1926. The founders of the state imagined that radio would play a key role in the development of Irish identity in nation-building (Watson, 2003; Pine, 2002; Day, 2012). Following the consolidation of the existing Dublin and Cork stations in 1933, a national audience could hear programmes in Irish for the first time, due to the introduction of a high-powered transmitter in Athlone. Although a separate service was promised for the Gaeltacht in 1926, a distinct station did not materialise until 1972, with the establishment of Raidió na Gaeltachta (Day, 2012). Some Irish is broadcast on RTÉ’s other radio stations but as a full-time national broadcaster, RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta provides the majority of Irish language radio broadcasts in the country. Following the introduction of the Radio and Television Act of 1988, the pirate stations that had proliferated during the 1970s and 1980s were put off the air and new commercial broadcasters were licensed. Irish was granted only limited recognition in the schedules of these stations that came on air from 1989 onwards. As a result of a campaign by language activists in Dublin, Raidió na Life was established in 1993 as a community of interest service to serve Irish speakers in the capital (Ó Drisceoil, 2007).
