  • The Donegal District Lunatic Asylum
    ‘A WORLD APART’ – The Donegal District Lunatic Asylum Number of Registrar Name Where Chargable This exhibition curated by the Donegal County Museum and the Archives Service, Donegal County Council in association with the HSE was inspired by the ending of the provision of residential mental health services at the St. Conal’s Hospital site. The hospital has been an integral part of Letterkenny and County Donegal for 154 years. Often shrouded by mythology and stigma, the asylum fulfilled a necessary role in society but one that is currently undergoing radical change.This exhibition, by putting into context the earliest history of mental health services in Donegal hopes to raise public awareness of mental health. The exhibition is organised in conjunction with Little John Nee’s artist’s residency in An Grianan Theatre and his performance of “The Mental”. This project is supported by PEACE III Programme managed for the Special EU Programmes Body by Donegal County Council. Timeline This Timeline covers the period of the reforms in the mental health laws. 1745 - Dean Jonathan Swift: 1907 - Eugenics Education Society: On his death he left money for the building of Saint Patrick’s This Society was established to promote population control Hospital (opened 1757), the first in Ireland to measures on undesirable genetic traits, including mental treat mental health patients. defects. 1774 - An Act for Regulating Private Madhouses: 1908 Report by Royal Commission This act ruled that there should be inspections of asylums once on Care of Feeble-Minded a year at least, but unfortunately, this only covered London. 1913 Mental Deficiency Act: 1800 - Pressure for reform is growing: This Act established the Board of Control to replace the Lunacy This is sparked off by the terrible conditions in London’s Commission.

  • Herdenking WO I – David Gallaher Kapitein “All Blacks”
    Herdenking WO I – David Gallaher kapitein “All Blacks” Op zaterdag 3 oktober 2015 wordt er op het grondgebied van het Memorial Museum Passchendaele 1917, een rugbywedstrijd gespeeld tussen New Zealand Army en de Belgische nationale mannenploeg, de Zwarte Duivels. Deze wedstrijd wordt georganiseerd als herdenking aan de toenmalige kapitein van de All-Blacks, David Gallaher, die in de Eerste Wereldoorlog in Passendaele sneuvelde. De organisatie is een samenwerking tussen de Nieuw-Zeelandse ambassade, de Vlaamse Rugbybond, de Belgische Rugbybond en het Memorial Museum Passchendaele 1917 Voorgeschiedenis In 1905 deden de “All Blacks”, die tot dan nog de “Originals” werden genoemd, hun veelbesproken tour in Europa, met als kapitein David Gallaher. De Nieuw-Zeelanders waren zo goed dat een reporter schreef: “they played as all backs”. Maar door een spellingfout stond er boven het artikel “they played as All Blacks”. Een mythe was geboren. De “All Blacks” wonnen al hun Europese wedstrijden, met uitzondering van één wedstrijd tegen Wales. Nieuw-Zeeland in Passendale Midden september 1917 werd het Australian en New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) naar Vlaanderen gehaald voor de verovering van Passendale. Op 4 oktober zorgden de Nieuw- Zeelanders voor een doorbraak op ’s Graventafel, terwijl de Australiërs het huidige Tyne Cot Cemetery innamen. Op 9 oktober probeerden Britse troepen tevergeefs verder vooruit te komen, opnieuw gevolgd door het ANZAC op 12 oktober. In deze bloedige gevechten verloren de Kiwi’s in minder dan vier uur tijd 2700 soldaten, wat een enorm hoge tol was voor het nog jonge Nieuw- Zeeland. Ter nagedachtenis van de ANZAC- troepen die hier in september en oktober 1917 een bloedige strijd geleverd hebben, wordt er van 2 tot 4 oktober 2015, een speciaal ANZAC weekend, georganiseerd.

    pring has arrived and you will have noticed, from the front cover of this edition of SUPPORT, that Ray D’Arcy has kindly responded to our request, for the second time, to Sbe an Ambassador for the Irish Kidney Association’s 2019 Organ Donor Awareness Week's campaign. He previously headed the campaigns in 1998 and 1999. Fundraising is an essential part of the Association's past and future. ‘Yes’ we are in a position to expand our services and about a quarter of our annual expenditure is funded by the HSE. However, the remainder of the €1.75 million expenditure comes from fundraising and donations. Currently, we are developing a six bedroom Renal Support House adjacent to the Cork University Hospital. Negotiations to provide a four to five station holiday dialysis centre in Tramore, Co. Waterford are advancing to accommodate up to sixteen local patients for year-long dialysis. The new purchase of an additional holiday house in Killarney is ready for the season and, indeed, the Renal Support Centre in Beaumont is currently undergoing a facelift (see page 31). We have ambitions to provide an accommodation and holiday facility on the grounds of Merlin Park Hospital in Galway and, for the first time in many years, we are in a position to commit Contents... €250,000 to kidney research projects, over a five year period. 2 EDITORIAL FRONT COVER 4 RAY D’ARCY, IKA AMBASSDOR Ray D’Arcy, 6 ORGAN DONATION AND TRANSPLANTATION 2019 Ambassador for the IKA’s 2018 Organ Donor 8 TRANSPLANT BABY JOY Awareness campaigns.

  • View: Journal of Flann O’Brien Studies 4.1
    The Bildung Subject & Modernist Autobiography in An Béal Bocht (Beyond An tOileánach) Brian Ó Conchubhair University of Notre Dame The Irish Bildungsroman, because it employs the defamiliarising techniques of parody and mimicry, thus functions like the radical modern art that Theodor Adorno describes, which is hated ‘because it reminds us of missed chances, but also because by its sheer existence it reveals the dubiousness of the heteronomous structural ideal.’1 An Béal Bocht can be, and usually is, read as a parody of 20th-century Irish language texts. But it is, in equal measure, an homage to them and an appropriation of their stylistic conventions, motifs, and attitudes. The novel’s building blocks were assuredly those cannibalised texts, and from them O’Nolan creates a dissonant, hyperreal, but easily recognisable world. No less fundamental, however, is an outdated, hyper- masculine sense of Irishness and a fabricated sense of the cultural nationalist-inspired depiction of lived Gaeltacht experience. This mocking, ironic book is driven by vitriolic enmity to any external prescriptive account of Gaeltacht life and any attempt to stereotype or generalise Irish speakers’ experience. As Joseph Brooker observes, its ‘greatest significance is not as a rewriting of a particular book, but rather a reinscription of a genre.’2 As a synthesis of literary conceits, cultural motifs, and nationalist tropes, it marks a cultural moment in Irish literary and cultural history. It remains undimmed by the passage of time, but for all its allusions, parodies, and references, it continues to amuse, entertain, and instruct global readers with little or no Irish, as well as those with even less awareness of the texts from which An Béal Bocht is drawn.

  • Here We Come 14
    “For anyone who is interested in looking beyond the names, the dates, the half-truths and the mythologies and entering the realm of rugby’s place in our history, this is a must read.” — Chris Laidlaw Rugby is New Zealand’s national sport. From the grand tour by the 1888 Natives to the upcoming 2015 World Cup, from games in the North African desert in World War II to matches behind barbed wire during the 1981 Springbok tour, from grassroots club rugby to heaving crowds outside Eden Park, Lancaster Park, Athletic Park or Carisbrook, New Zealanders have made rugby their game. In this book, historian and former journalist Ron Palenski tells the full story of rugby in New Zealand for the first time. It is a story of how the game travelled from England and settled in the colony, how Ma¯ori and later Pacific players made rugby their own, how battles over amateurism and apartheid threatened the sport, how national teams, provinces and local clubs shaped it. But above all it is a story of wing forwards and fullbacks, of Don Clarke and Jonah Lomu, of the Log of Wood and Charlie Saxton’s ABC, of supporters in the grandstand and crackling radios at 2 a.m. Ron Palenski is an author and historian and among the most recognised authorities on the history of sport, and especially rugby, in New Zealand. He has written numerous books, among them an academic study, The Making of New Zealanders, that placed rugby firmly as a marker in national identity. Contents Acknowledgements 9.

  • From Chronology to Confessional: New Zealand Sporting Biographies in Transition
    From Chronology to Confessional: New Zealand Sporting Biographies in Transition GEOFF WATSON Abstract Formerly rather uniform in pattern, sporting biographies have evolved significantly since the 1970s, becoming much more open in their criticism of teammates and administrators as well as being more revealing of their subject’s private lives. This article identifies three transitional phases in the genre; a chronological era, extending from the early twentieth century until the 1960s; an indirectly confessional phase between the 1970s and mid 1980s and an openly confessional phase from the mid-1980s. Despite these changes, sporting biographies continue to reinforce the dominant narratives around sport in New Zealand. New Zealand sporting biographies have a mixed reputation in literary and scholarly circles. Often denigrated for their allegedly formulaic style, they have also been criticised for their lack of insight into New Zealand society.1 Representative of this critique is Lloyd Jones, who wrote in 1999, “sport hardly earns a mention in our wider literature, and … the rest of society is rarely, if ever, admitted to our sports literature.”2 This article examines this perspective, arguing that sporting biographies afford a valuable insight into New Zealand’s changing self- image and values. Moreover, it will be argued that the nature of sporting biographies themselves has changed significantly since the 1980s and that they have become much more open in their discussion of teammates and the personal lives of their subjects. Whatever one’s perspective on the literary merits of sporting biographies, their popular appeal is undeniable. Whereas the print run of most scholarly texts in New Zealand is at best a few thousand, sporting biographies consistently sell in the tens of thousands.

    SUPPORTING THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE NATIONAL ACTION PLAN AGAINST RACISM AND TOWARDS EU YEAR OF INTERCULTURAL DIALOGUE 2008 A STRATEGY GUIDE for Community Development Projects, Family Resource Centres & Partnerships SUPPORTING THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE NATIONAL ACTION PLAN AGAINST RACISM AND TOWARDS EU YEAR OF INTERCULTURAL DIALOGUE 2008 A STRATEGY GUIDE for Community Development Projects, Family Resource Centres & Partnerships 2 BACKGROUND In March 2005, the National Consultative Committee on Racism and Interculturalism (NCCRI) and Pobal, in conjunction with the Family Support Agency and the Department of Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs, hosted a conference to advance the objectives of the National Action Plan Against Racism (NPAR), which had been launched by An Taoiseach and the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform earlier that year. The NPAR fulfils a commitment by the Government to the UN World Conference Against Racism in South Africa in 2001. The conference drew together representatives from Community Development Projects, Family Resource Centres, Area-Based and Community Partnerships and other organisations engaging in anti-racism and intercultural work. The conference was an important milestone in supporting the work of the organisations and locating the work within the strategic framework of the NPAR. A key conclusion from the conference was the need to develop tools and supports to strengthen the work, during and after the NPAR (2005-2008) as Ireland moves towards an Integration strategy. The overall focus of this strategy guide is to support Community Development Projects, Family Resource Centres and Partnerships as key players in the development of locally based anti- racism strategies and social inclusion measures to promote diversity.
