  • Migration Patterns in Dublin County Borough
    Migration Patterns in Dublin County Borough N. JOHNSON N the last 15 years Dublin has undergone a dramatic change, from the fairly sleepy introverted capital of the 26 counties, it has been transformed into a relatively I sophisticated and increasingly cosmopolitan financial and commercial centre. The large demand for office space has led to a change in function of an ever-growing number of buildings in the central city area, while the steadily increasing population is being housed and rehoused in new suburban estates around and beyond the city perimeter. Change has been rapid and this study, limited to that area included in the County Borough due to lack of adequate data, concentrates on certain facets of the city in explanation of the continuous movements of its population. It will show how, as in the majority of cities in the Western Hemisphere, the ecological process of invasion and succession determined the present composition of Dublin and it will outline along what path, without official intervention, its future pattern of growth may proceed. The Growth of Modern Dublin Urban ecologists1 describe the usual process of a city's growth in terms of a centrifugal process. The continuous pressure of migrant population on central city accommodation causes the residents to move to the periphery of the city in order to escape the encroach­ ing slums. This process of invasion and succession continues with the areas of over- *I wish to thank Professor B. Hutchinson, Dr R. C. Geary and Dr Brendan M. Walsh for their valuable criticisms and Peter Neary for conducting the statistical analysis in this paper.

  • The List of Church of Ireland Parish Registers
    THE LIST of CHURCH OF IRELAND PARISH REGISTERS A Colour-coded Resource Accounting For What Survives; Where It Is; & With Additional Information of Copies, Transcripts and Online Indexes SEPTEMBER 2021 The List of Parish Registers The List of Church of Ireland Parish Registers was originally compiled in-house for the Public Record Office of Ireland (PROI), now the National Archives of Ireland (NAI), by Miss Margaret Griffith (1911-2001) Deputy Keeper of the PROI during the 1950s. Griffith’s original list (which was titled the Table of Parochial Records and Copies) was based on inventories returned by the parochial officers about the year 1875/6, and thereafter corrected in the light of subsequent events - most particularly the tragic destruction of the PROI in 1922 when over 500 collections were destroyed. A table showing the position before 1922 had been published in July 1891 as an appendix to the 23rd Report of the Deputy Keeper of the Public Records Office of Ireland. In the light of the 1922 fire, the list changed dramatically – the large numbers of collections underlined indicated that they had been destroyed by fire in 1922. The List has been updated regularly since 1984, when PROI agreed that the RCB Library should be the place of deposit for Church of Ireland registers. Under the tenure of Dr Raymond Refaussé, the Church’s first professional archivist, the work of gathering in registers and other local records from local custody was carried out in earnest and today the RCB Library’s parish collections number 1,114. The Library is also responsible for the care of registers that remain in local custody, although until they are transferred it is difficult to ascertain exactly what dates are covered.

We write in response to the Working Group's call for submissions on its current priority; the elimination of discrimination against women with regard to the right to health and safety. 2. We make submissions regarding the Commission of Investigation into the Mother and Baby Homes and Certain Related Matters (the "Commission"), instituted in the Republic of Ireland (the "State") in February 2015. The Commission was established pursuant to the Commission of Investigation (Mother and Baby Homes and Certain Related Matter) Order 2015 (State S.I. No. 57 of 2015), which sets out and is referred to by the Commission as its Terms of Reference (the "ToR"). 3. We are interested in the Commission because founding members of our organisations and hundreds of individuals in contact with our organisations have been affected by the adoption process administered by the State. In many cases these individuals are survivors of abuse in State institutions including, but not limited to, Mother and Baby Homes. I. Introduction 4. An investigation into Ireland’s Mother and Baby Homes and related institutions is important due to the serious nature of the discrimination and abuse by the State (for which there is significant evidence) of children born outside marriage, unmarried mothers and women and girls perceived to be "at risk" of becoming unmarried mothers.
