Printed on acid-free paper. 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 springer.com Foreword At the time of writing many of the issues discussed by Liam Leonard in The Environmental Movement in Ireland are reflected in the new political realities of the island of Ireland North and South. The Green Party – since December 2006 organised on an all Ireland basis – is in coalition government in the Republic while in the Northern Ireland Assembly elections in March it gained its first elected Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLA). These developments clearly indicate a level of popular and political success of the Green Movement and issues of (un)sustainable development, but also open up a new and uncharted area for the movement with high expectations of Greens in Government. Long-standing green issues, particularly around climate change and energy security, have received unprecedented levels of popularisation through almost daily media coverage and documentaries such as former US Vice President Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth and the ‘Live Earth’ global concerts.

  • Devils and Angels
    Devils and Angels The Ideological Construction of Poverty Stories on RTE Television Eoin Devereux BA MA (NUI) Thesis presented for the award of PhD. Supervisor: Professor Farrel Corcoran, School of Communications, Dublin City University, Glasnevin, Dublin 9. Submitted April 1996. Declaration I hereby certify that this material, which I now submit for assessment on the programme of study leading to the award of the degree of PhD, is entirely my own work and has not been taken from the work of others save and to the extent that such work has been cited and acknowledged within the text of my own work. Date: 1 / ^ ^ L ii Thesis Abstract This thesis investigates how Radio Telelis Eireann (RTE) constructs television stories about poverty. Using a combination of critical content analysis and an ethnography of the production context of television programmes, the study examines poverty stories on factual, fictional and fund-raising television. The study begins with an account of how existing social science discourse has considered the phenomenon of poverty in the Republic of Ireland. It proceeds to examine the limited amount of debate about media coverage of poverty. The case for a largely qualitative methodological approach is then outlined. The main part of the study is an analysis of how poverty stories are constructed on RTE’s Six-One News, Tuesday File, Glenroe and the People in Need Telethon. Each of these four chapters consider the respective programmes in terms of their history, production context, the content of their poverty coverage, as well as a consideration of the ideology of that coverage.

All rights reserved ii CONTENTS CONTEXT Biographical history iv Archival history vi CONTENT AND STRUCTURE vi Scope and content vii System of arrangement CONDITIONS OF ACCESS AND USE Access x Language x Finding Aid x DESCRIPTION CONTROL Archivist’s Note x iii CONTEXT Biographical history Martin, Francis Xavier (1922–2000), historian, was born 2 October 1922 in Ballylongford, Co. Kerry, youngest son among five sons and five daughters of Conor Martin, medical practitioner, and Katherine Martin (née Fitzmaurice). Three of his four brothers also became priests, including Conor Martin, professor of ethics and politics at UCD, and Malachi Martin. Educated at Belvedere College, Dublin, he joined the Augustinian order of friars in 1941 and was ordained a priest in 1952; he later stated that his choice of religious order was motivated by a preference for the family atmosphere of the Augustinians over the militarism of the Jesuits. He had already embarked on the study of history, taking his BA degree in 1949 at UCD, where he had among his teachers Aubrey Gwynn, R. Dudley Edwards, and T. Desmond Williams. His subsequent MA thesis (1952) on the Capuchin friar Francis Lavalin Nugent, one of the main agents of the counter-reformation in Ireland, earned him a travelling studentship from the NUI to Peterhouse, Cambridge. There he completed (1959) his doctoral thesis on Giles of Viterbo, the prior-general of the Augustinian order when Martin Luther was still within its ranks; it was published (1960) as Giles of Viterbo 1469–1532.
