  • The Role of Irish-Language Film in Irish National Cinema Heather
    Finding a Voice: The Role of Irish-Language Film in Irish National Cinema Heather Macdougall A Thesis in the PhD Humanities Program Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Concordia University Montreal, Quebec, Canada August 2012 © Heather Macdougall, 2012 ABSTRACT Finding a Voice: The Role of Irish-Language Film in Irish National Cinema Heather Macdougall, Ph.D. Concordia University, 2012 This dissertation investigates the history of film production in the minority language of Irish Gaelic. The objective is to determine what this history reveals about the changing roles of both the national language and national cinema in Ireland. The study of Irish- language film provides an illustrative and significant example of the participation of a minority perspective within a small national cinema. It is also illustrates the potential role of cinema in language maintenance and revitalization. Research is focused on policies and practices of filmmaking, with additional consideration given to film distribution, exhibition, and reception. Furthermore, films are analysed based on the strategies used by filmmakers to integrate the traditional Irish language with the modern medium of film, as well as their motivations for doing so. Research methods included archival work, textual analysis, personal interviews, and review of scholarly, popular, and trade publications. Case studies are offered on three movements in Irish-language film. First, the Irish- language organization Gael Linn produced documentaries in the 1950s and 1960s that promoted a strongly nationalist version of Irish history while also exacerbating the view of Irish as a “private discourse” of nationalism. Second, independent filmmaker Bob Quinn operated in the Irish-speaking area of Connemara in the 1970s; his fiction films from that era situated the regional affiliations of the language within the national context.

  • Enforcement Decision Series (No
    ENFORCEMENT DECISION SERIES (NO. E/05/001) Competition Act 2002 Decision of The Competition Authority (Case COM/05/03) The alleged predation by the Drogheda Independent Company Limited in the market for advertising in local newspapers in the greater Drogheda area Date of Decision: 7th December 2004 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Competition Authority (“the Authority”) has taken the view that alleged predatory conduct by the Drogheda Independent Company Limited (“the DIC”) does not breach the Competition Act 2002. This view is taken on the basis that the DIC is not dominant nor could its alleged conduct constitute an abuse. The alleged conduct is arguably pro-consumer and more indicative of intense competition in the market than predatory conduct by a dominant undertaking. The Authority’s investigation was prompted by complaints from the publisher of the Drogheda Leader (“the Leader”) alleging that the DIC was abusing a dominant position by: launching the Drogheda Independent Weekend Extra (“the Extra”) in 1997, selling advertising below cost since 1997, and selectively discounting the price of advertising in the Extra during January and February 2003. The Authority rejected the first two of these allegations on the basis that the DIC’s actions could not plausibly be considered as predation and the theory of predation was inconsistent with market facts. The Authority therefore only outlines in detail its analysis of the allegation of below cost selling of advertising space in the Extra during early 2003 in this decision note. The Authority considers that the relevant market in which the DIC competes is the market for advertising in local newspapers in the greater Drogheda area.

    Joint Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment ______________________ Submission by Independent News & Media plc ______________________ 6th February 2017 Independent House, 27-32 Talbot Street, Dublin 1 | www.inmplc.com EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1. Independent News & Media plc (“INM”) has been invited to address the Joint Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment in relation to the media merger examination of the proposed acquisition of CMNL Limited (“CMNL”), formerly Celtic Media Newspapers Limited, by INM (Independent News & Media Holdings Limited) by the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland (“BAI”). 2. The agreement for the sale and purchase of the entire issued share capital of CMNL Limited by INM was executed on 2nd September 2016. In line with the media merger requirements detailed in the Competition Acts 2002-2014, INM and CMNL jointly submitted a notification to the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (“CCPC”) on 5th September 2016. On 10th November 2016 the CCPC determined that the transaction would not lead to a substantial lessening of competition in any market for goods or services in the State and the transaction could be put into effect subject to the provisions of 28C(1) of the Competition Acts 2002-20141. 3. On 21st November 2016, INM and CMNL jointly notified the Minister of Communications, Climate Action and Environment of the Proposed Transaction seeking approval and outlining the reasons why the Proposed Transaction would not be contrary to the public interest in protecting plurality of media in the State. On 10th January 2017, the Minister informed the parties of his decision to request the BAI to undertake a review as provided for in Section 28D(1)(c) of the Competition Acts 2002- 2014.

These include Ireland’s three best selling dailies: The Irish Times, the Irish Independent, and the Irish Daily Star, and a regional newspaper with a notable online presence, the Limerick Leader. This research examines the day-to-day operations of Irish news organisations; the resources devoted to their digital media/online departments, the revenue-generation strategies in place to monetize the work of these departments; and the prioritization given to the various mediums through which information is distributed.

  • 1 Independent Newspapers and Irish Society, 1973-98 Mark O'brien Writing in 1889 the Legendary Nationalist MP and Newspaper Ed
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by DCU Online Research Access Service 1 Independent Newspapers and Irish society, 1973-98 Mark O’Brien Writing in 1889 the legendary nationalist MP and newspaper editor, T.P. O’Connor took a side-swipe at those publications that proclaimed their independence of all political and business interests. He declared that he liked ‘an “independent” journal as little as the politician who assumes to himself the same adjective’. In his long experience of newspapers and politics, he had, he declared, ultimately found that ‘independence’ was simply ‘a euphemism for personal vanity, personal interest, or mere crankiness of temper and opinion’.1 As we have seen in chapter two, despite its declaration that ‘The extravagances of partisanship will be unknown in the Irish Independent’, William Martin Murphy was not shy in using the Irish Independent to defend his commercial interests during the Great Lockout of 1913.2 Similarly, the Irish Press, although declaring that it would not be ‘the organ of an individual, or a group or a party’, was the political organ of Eamon de Valera and, to a lesser extent, Fianna Fáil.3 In contrast, the Irish Times was upfront about where it stood: its first edition had declared ‘As Irishmen we shall think and speak; but it shall be as Irishmen loyal to the British connection...’4 As Ireland modernised in the 1960s and as RTÉ began television broadcasting that was, by statute, obliged to be fair and impartial in relation to news and current affairs, the role of the newspaper as an advocate or defender of its owner’s political or commercial interests became outdated.

  • The Third Sinn Fein Party: 1923-1926
    The Third Sinn Fein Party: 1923-1926 PETER PYNE I: Narrative Account THE recent commemoration of the fiftieth anniversaries of the Easter Rising and the meeting of the First Dail firearm have done much to focus attention on this stormy watershed of modern Irish history and politics. The Civil War, for so long a topic of polemical argument, is becoming the subject of serious study and unbiased analysis. So far, however, remarkably little original research has been undertaken in the shadowy area of history and politics stretching from the end of the Civil War to the emergence of Fianna Fail as a constitutional opposition party in Leinster House. The history of the post-1923 era obviously needs a considerable amount of research of a primary sort; and on top of that, additional synthesis in order to put the raw material in proper arrangement and perspective. This article is offered only as an investigation of a prehminary nature, for synthesis must await the study of all relevant sources. This study may shed some fight on one aspect of a period during which the future of the Free State, and indeed constitutional democracy in this country, were by no means assured. The first part of the account examines the events which led to the establishment of the Repub­ lican political party after the Civil War and traces the history of this party until its collapse in 1926. Part II (which will appear in the next issue) analyses the reasons behind the decline of Sinn Fein and the schism of 1926 which was to destroy it.
