  • Flynn, R. 'Tackling the Directive: Television Without Frontiers and Irish Soccer.' in Trends in Communication Vol. 12, 2/3
    Flynn, R. ‘Tackling the Directive: Television Without Frontiers and Irish soccer.’ in Trends in Communication Vol. 12, 2/3, pp. 131 - 152. Abstract With the liberalisation of European Broadcasting from the 1980s and the early identification by new commercial channels of sporting events as key content to encourage viewing/subscription the relationship between sports and media organisations has inevitably become closer and more lucrative. However with the amendment of the Television Without Frontiers directive in 1997 a new element - the state - entered the equation, rendering it all the more complex. This paper demonstrates the extent to which in the modern era sports journalism can only offer a truly comprehensive account of events by adopting approaches more commonly associated with business and political journalism. It does so by examining the biggest Irish “sports” story of 2002: not the Irish teams participation in the World Cup but the subsequent sale of broadcast rights for that team’s home games to BSkyB. The narrative throws light on the increasingly complex relationship between sport, commercial and public service media, and the state but also details an extremely novel application of the Television Without Frontiers directive by the Irish state. * * * * On July 5 2002, three weeks after the Republic of Ireland football team had returned from the World Cup in Asia, the Football Association of Ireland (FAI) announced that they had sold BSkyB exclusive live television rights to Republic of Ireland home internationals for the next four years. The statement went on to note that deferred coverage rights had been sold to TV3, Ireland’s only privately owned1 free-to-air commercial broadcaster.

Over the past three years the number of Level 8 degrees has increased from 567 to 579 while the number listed for UCD has been reduced from 56 to 45. EILIS O’BRIEN Director of When UCD began to reduce the number of CAO codes there was a concern that Communication our first to third preferences would suffer, that we would receive less “mentions” on the CAO form and that points for our degrees would fall. However, there is an argument that, for example, the old see-saw between languages and points is simply unfair on students, as one year French tops German and the next year Spanish out-climbs them both. This year, the codes for denominated languages were merged into the BA International and while it will take a little time for the preferences to settle, we have seen a rise in demand in Commerce International of over 17%, where a similar merger of denominated languages took place in 2011.

  • Candidate Information Booklet
    Maynooth University Human Resources Office Candidate Information Booklet Author: Human Resources Maynooth University: A Brief Description Overview Formally established as an autonomous university in 1997, but tracing its origins to the foundation of the Royal College of St. Patrick in 1795, Maynooth University (National University of Ireland Maynooth) is in one sense Ireland’s newest university, yet it draws on a heritage of over 200 years of commitment to education and scholarship. The last two decades have seen the University grow rapidly in scale strength and stature. Maynooth University is today a university of international standing, renowned for the quality and value of its research and scholarship, for its dedication to excellent teaching, for providing an outstanding learning experience for its 10,000 students, and as a uniquely collegial environment in which to pursue scholarly work. Maynooth University is located 25 km from the centre of Dublin city, on a campus which reflects the University’s 18th century roots and 21st century dynamism. It is Ireland’s fastest-growing university, embedded in and engaged with Ireland’s fastest-growing and economically most important region. The University has distinctive institutional capacities, with historic strengths in humanities, social sciences and science and engineering, newly-established departments of business and law, and specific research strengths in spatial analysis and geocomputation, applied mathematics and applied ICT, immunology and chemical biology, historical and cultural traditions, and business innovation. Maynooth University has a particularly strong reputation for excellent and innovative teaching, and its commitment to liberal education. The University provides an exceptional student experience for all its students, and is a national leader in widening participation, with the highest proportion of non-traditional and first-generation students of any Irish university.
