  • 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.

  • Exploring Spatial Aspects of Quality of Life in Galway City, Ireland
    F. Fahy & M. Ó Cinnéide, Int. J. Sus. Dev. Plann. Vol. 3, No. 1 (2008) 29–44 THE REALITY OF THE LOCALITY: EXPLORING SPATIAL ASPECTS OF QUALITY OF LIFE IN GALWAY CITY, IRELAND F. FAHY & M. Ó CINNÉIDE Department of Geography, National University of Ireland, Galway, Ireland. ABSTRACT Quality of life is increasingly recognised as a vital component of sustainable urban development. Indicators are used to assess quality of life and to monitor progress towards sustainability over time. An emerging body of literature contends that these indicators need to be derived in close consultation with target populations in order to optimise the extent to which they capture the real determinants of quality of life in particular places. Furthermore, quality of life considerations vary signifi cantly across urban neighbourhoods and consequently the spatial scale at which such studies are conducted may have signifi cant implications for the results obtained. This study focuses on spatial variations in quality of life in Galway, a city of approximately 70,000 people, situated on the west coast of Ireland. Galway is reported as having an exceptionally high quality of life, how- ever, signifi cant variations are found to exist across city neighbourhoods. Factors contributing to this spatial pattern are explored in this paper. An important lesson emerging from this study is that quality of life indicators derived at the neighbourhood level are of utmost importance when assessing the reality of living in different urban settings. Keywords: Ireland, quality of life indicators, scale, sustainable urban communities. 1 INTRODUCTION Economic growth and development have taken place at an unprecedented rate in the Republic of Ireland, over the past decade or so.
