  • Coláiste Iognáid Autumn Term Newsletter 2020
    COLÁISTE IOGNÁID AUTUMN TERM NEWSLETTER 2020 MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL Dear Parents & Guardians, As we approach the mid-term break, I would like to thank you for the support you have shown the school community during this period. It has been an extraordinary few months in school. The students have shown maturity beyond their years and have adapted admirably to the new reality. While it has been a challenging time for them, it is clear that they are happy to be back in Coláiste Iognáid. I am reminded of the words of St Ignatius, "If you find you have fallen, do not despair, even falls are an aid to wellbeing.” As a society we are all struggling to make sense of our current situation. Certain sectors are impacted more than others and to my mind teenagers have been dealt a particularly difficult hand. On the radio a few weeks ago, Professor Maureen Gaffney described people as living in a state of ‘consistent low-level stress.’ A statement, we can all identify with. The students need support, clarity and kindness as do our teachers and all our staff. Teachers, tutors, year heads, learning and pastoral support teams have all worked tirelessly to check-in and reassure students. Compassionate words and expressions of gratitude are more important now than ever before. Ní neart go cur le chéile. As you are aware, we had our first positive Covid case recently. In my interactions with the HSE mask wearing was repeatedly mentioned as critical. Their definition of a close contact is ‘spending over 15 minutes with a positive case when masks are not worn’.

  • A Word from the Societies Officer
    A Word from the Societies Officer It has been an extraordinary year for societies in NUI Galway, a year which reinforces the view that the societies are at the very heart of the cultural and social life of the campus. With over 7000 students signing on to societies during both societies days this year, their can be no doubt about their continuing popularity. With a turn-over of over €600,000 this year their range and level of activity can not be in question. When you consider that over €150,000 of this was donated to charity the generosity and altruism of the society individuals is a shining example to all of us. It has been a pleasure facilitating and supporting the societies in their unbelievably diverse range of activities. This year our aim was to improve societies’ infrastructures and facilities, to this end workshops for the various committee members were organised. The success of the societies organisational, record keeping and book keeping skills is clearly evident in this publication. In the following pages you will uncover, in the societies own words, the fascinating and diverse range of activities they engaged in and also the immense sense of pride and joy they have in their achievements. The purpose of this book is not only to celebrate the year that the societies have had and to keep a record for future years but also to acknowledge the hard work, imagination, determination and creativity of the dedicated committee members. Congratulations to all of you. This year saw a number of reunions. It was obvious from the alumni that the years spent in societies, while in university, enriched their experiences and forged life long friendships.

  • Field Day Revisited (II): an Interview with Declan Kiberd1
    Concentric: Literary and Cultural Studies 33.2 September 2007: 203-35 Field Day Revisited (II): An Interview with Declan Kiberd1 Yu-chen Lin National Sun Yat-sen University Abstract Intended to address the colonial crisis in Northern Ireland, the Field Day Theatre Company was one of the most influential, albeit controversial, cultural forces in Ireland in the 1980’s. The central idea for the company was a touring theatre group pivoting around Brian Friel; publications, for which Seamus Deane was responsible, were also included in its agenda. As such it was greeted by advocates as a major decolonizing project harking back to the Irish Revivals of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Its detractors, however, saw it as a reactionary entity intent on reactivating the same tired old “Irish Question.” Other than these harsh critiques, Field Day had to deal with internal divisions, which led to Friel’s resignation in 1994 and the termination of theatre productions in 1998. Meanwhile, Seamus Deane persevered with the publication enterprise under the company imprint, and planned to revive Field Day in Dublin. The general consensus, however, is that Field Day no longer exists. In view of this discrepancy, I interviewed Seamus Deane and Declan Kiberd to track the company’s present operation and attempt to negotiate among the diverse interpretations of Field Day. In Part One of this transcription, Seamus Deane provides an insider’s view of the aspirations, operation, and dilemma of Field Day, past and present. By contrast, Declan Kiberd in Part Two reconfigures Field Day as both a regional and an international movement which anticipated the peace process beginning in the mid-1990’s, and also the general ethos of self-confidence in Ireland today.
