Jane Ohlmeyer, director of the Trinity Long Room Hub Arts and Humanities Research Institute (TLRH), traces elements of this broader historical context in her analysis of how the Rising impacted on the British Empire, paying particular attention to how it was received in India, and notes the current day issues surrounding the fate of Northern Ireland in the wake of the recent Brexit vote.

This is a scene I photographed while visiting the area where I grew up. I used to help my mother in the Andy Town market and remember the terrible poverty and desperate circumstances people were living in. My mother would help where she could, allowing people to buy on credit and making sure they had their school uniforms and other essentials. She taught me life lessons in empathy and compassion which I now employ in my art. The mural wall references the romantic idealism and political reality of West Belfast. The 10-year-old girl is isolated on the rock, a symbol that represents the stifling political situation and lack of economic investment in these areas. Belfast may look great now, but the working class communities who suffered the most are still lacking good infrastructure and facilities for their children.

Portrayal and participation of women in the media. 4. Specific comments on the proposed BAI Code. 5. Conclusion. 6. Appendix one – research data from NWCI media-monitoring survey. 1. About the NWCI The National Women’s Council of Ireland (NWCI) is the representative body for women and women’s groups in Ireland, with 200 affiliated groups and organisations from the community, voluntary, professional and other key sectors of Irish society. The central purpose of the NWCI is to promote women's rights and women's equality. To achieve this end, our work falls under seven key areas: . Economic equality . Care . Political equality and decision making . Health and women’s human rights . Integration and anti-racism . Equality in public services . Building global and national solidarity In 2011 the AGM mandated the organisation to “address the issue of gender bias in Irish media, particularly in radio and TV panels and advertising.” Further to this a meeting of NWCI members was held in 2011 on the issue of women’s representation and participation in the media including expert panels and discussion groups. 2. Introduction & background The proposal for a draft code on fairness, impartiality and accountability in news and current affairs programming is most welcome and timely. The influence of broadcasters in the formation of opinion among significant segments of the population remains enormous.

    If you are experiencing difficulties viewing this email click here to view in your browser 29 November 2013 CEIST Training - School Financial Management The Board of CEIST are holding information workshops on financial responsibilities of the Board of Management’s Finance Sub- Committees. In recent years, the Trustees have become increasingly concerned at the escalation in numbers of Boards of Management having difficulty fulfilling their obligation in matters of finance. It is our wish to assist and inform all the new Finance Sub-Committees of their obligations in relation to financial best practice. Venerable Nano Nagle October 31st 2013 will forever be remembered as an historic day in the story of the Presentation Sisters. On this day during a private audience with Cardinal Angelo Amato S.D.B., prefect of the Congregation for the cause of Saints, Pope Francis authorised the Congregation to promulgate the decree that NanoNagle (1718-1784) foundress of the Presentation Sisters of the Blessed Virgin Mary has been bestowed the title of "Venerable". We pay tribute to all those who have been involved in the process especially Sr. Lucy Troy PBVM and congratulate the Presentation Sisters on this wonderful but well deserved accomplishment. November 19th is the Feast Day of the Sisters of the Christian Retreat The Sisters of the Christian Retreat celebrated their annual feast day on the 19th November. The Congregaton of the Sisters of the Christian Retreat was founded in 1789 by Fr. Anthony Receveur. In an age when faith and morals were in decline, he offered to ordinary people a means of drawing closer to God.
