  • Violence and the Sacred in Northern Ireland
    VIOLENCE AND THE SACRED IN NORTHERN IRELAND Duncan Morrow University of Ulster at Jordanstown For 25 years Northern Ireland has been a society characterized not so much by violence as by an endemic fear of violence. At a purely statistical level the risk of death as a result of political violence in Belfast was always between three and ten times less than the risk of murder in major cities of the United States. Likewise, the risk of death as the result of traffic accidents in Northern Ireland has been, on average, twice as high as the risk of death by political killing (Belfast Telegraph, 23 January 1994). Nevertheless, the tidal flow of fear about political violence, sometimes higher and sometimes lower but always present, has been the consistent fundamental backdrop to public, and often private, life. This preeminence of fear is triggered by past and present circumstances and is projected onto the vision of the future. The experience that disorder is ever close at hand has resulted in an endemic insecurity which gives rise to the increasingly conscious desire for a new order, for scapegoats and for resolution. For a considerable period of time, Northern Ireland has actively sought and made scapegoats but such actions have been ineffective in bringing about the desired resolution to the crisis. They have led instead to a continuous mimetic crisis of both temporal and spatial dimensions. To have lived in Northern Ireland is to have lived in that unresolved crisis. Liberal democracy has provided the universal transcendence of Northern Ireland's political models. Northern Ireland is physically and spiritually close to the heartland of liberal democracy: it is geographically bound by Britain and Ireland, economically linked to Western Europe, and historically tied to emigration to the United States, Canada, and the South Pacific.

  • 1 an Taoiseach Enda Kenny TD Department of an Taoiseach
    An Taoiseach Enda Kenny TD Department of an Taoiseach Government Buildings Merrion Street Dublin 2 4 November 2014 RE: Law Enforcement Access to Data in the Irish Cloud Dear Taoiseach, As you know, the American Chamber of Commerce Ireland has close working relationships with the global American Chamber network. This network represents the interests of American multi-national companies across the world. The American Chamber of Commerce Ireland is one of the largest chambers in Europe as a result of the large base of American companies located in Ireland. These companies provide benefits, and economic growth in Europe, and several are technology companies that offer cloud-computing technology to European customers. Europeans can derive many benefits from widespread adoption of cloud computing technology. However, many Europeans may be hesitant to embrace cloud services because of lack of clarity about how their data is stored in remote data centres, many of which are located in Ireland. As a result of a number of matters that have been widely reported, such as the Snowden disclosures, European citizens have become more sensitive to ensuring respect for their right to privacy, including controls over how and to what extent data relating to them might be accessed by law enforcement authorities. The multijurisdictional dimension of cloud computing presents a number of legal challenges in this regard. This letter addresses one of the specific concerns - the extraterritorial reach of law enforcement authorities to access data in the context of routine criminal investigations. We believe that this concern can be effectively addressed by the Irish and US governments, to enhance the public’s trust while also increasing the effectiveness of law enforcement.

  • Irish Immigration to America, 1630 to 1921 by Dr
    Irish Immigration to America, 1630 to 1921 By Dr. Catherine B. Shannon Reprinted courtesy of the New Bedford Whaling Museum Introduction The oft quoted aphorism that "Boston is the next parish to Galway" highlights the long and close connections between Ireland and New England that extend as far back as the 1600s. Colonial birth, death, marriage, and some shipping records cite the presence of Irish born people as early as the 1630s. For instance, in 1655 the ship Goodfellow arrived in Boston carrying a group of indentured servants, and John Hancock's ancestor, Anthony Hancock, arrived from Co. Down in 1681. According to the story of The Irish Gift of 1676, which provided aid after King Phillip's War, Rev. Cotton Mather and Governor Winthrop corresponded with their Irish friends and relatives, with as many as 105 soldiers of Irish origin serving in various militias during the war. However, up until 1715, the numbers of Irish in New England were less than 1%, a small percentage of the population.1 The First Wave of Irish Immigration, 1715 to 1845 The first significant influx of Irish immigrants to Boston and New England consisted primarily of Ulster Presbyterians and began in the early eighteenth century.2 They comprised about ten percent, or 20,000 of a larger migration of over 200,000 Ulster Presbyterians who fled the north of Ireland to America between 1700 and 1775. The majority arrived in Boston between 1714 and 1750, as most Ulster immigrants went to the mid-Atlantic area via Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Charleston beginning in the 1750s.

  • Courts Service Ireland
    Response questionnaire project group Timeliness Courts' Service Ireland 1 The Court System and Available Statistics 1.1 The Court System The Irish justice system consists primarily of four tiers of courts; the District Court, the Circuit Court, the High Court and the Supreme Court. The District Court is the lowest court, having jurisdiction over minor civil and criminal matters. The civil jurisdiction does not exceed €6,348.69. For criminal matters the Court only hears minor offences. It only hears criminal cases where the maximum custodial sentence permitted upon conviction is 12 months or up to 2 years where a consecutive sentence is imposed. The District Court also has some jurisdiction in the family law area. Proceedings in Family Law are not heard in open court and are as informal as is practicable. The District Court also has wide powers in relation to liquor and lottery licensing. The Circuit Court has jurisdiction in most criminal jury trials and civil matters with a jurisdiction not exceeding €38,092.14. It also hears appeals from the District Court. The Circuit and High Court have concurrent jurisdiction in the area of Family Law. The Circuit Court has jurisdiction in a wide range of family law proceedings, (judicial separation, divorce, nullity and appeals from the District Court). The High Court has full and original jurisdiction in all matters and is the constitutional Court of first instance. In terms of its criminal jurisdiction, it sits as the Central Criminal Court and has jurisdiction over the most serious criminal trials, including those relating to murder, rape and serious sexual offences.

  • NORTHERN IRELAND and the SECOND WORLD WAR Dr Senia Paseta
    NORTHERN IRELAND AND THE SECOND WORLD WAR Dr Senia Paseta. St Hugh’s College, Oxford On the day after Britain announced it was at war with Germany, Lord Craigavon, Prime Minister of Northern Ireland, declared that ‘the whole of the resources’ of the province would be placed at the disposal of the imperial parliament. The loyalty of the Stormont administration was hardly in question during the period 1939-1945, but its ability to effectively organise and deploy resources, manpower and military support came under increasing scrutiny and exacerbated existing tensions within the province. Northern Ireland’s war began slowly. A number of British commentators noted that the province differed markedly from the rest of the country in its cavalier attitude to the crisis, and many contemporary reports suggest that life went on largely as normal. A Blackout order came into force in September 1939 and preparation for rationing food, petrol and other items followed soon after, but a lack of urgency characterised the government’s initial approach to placing the province on war- footing. Industry and agriculture were particularly slow to adjust: the rate of unemployment actually grew over 1940 as the economic opportunities offered by the war were slow to arrive. No new factory had been built by the end of 1940, and the munitions industries had the worst record of production in the United Kingdom during the early months of the war. It proved initially difficult to incorporate Northern Ireland’s economy into the United Kingdom’s, and perceptions of the region as remote, under-skilled and expensive further hindered such integration.

  • W. B. Yeats' Influence on Irish Nationalism, 1916-1923
    18 W.B. Yeats’ Influence on Irish Nationalism, 1916-1923 Mark Mulcahey 19 Mark graduated from Eastern Illinois University in 1999 with a B.A. in History. He is currently working on his M.A. at Brigham Young University, studying 20th Century U.S. Military History with an emphasis on U.S. military intervention. This paper was written for a course on The World in the Twentieth Century with Dr. Roger Beck. William Butler Yeats once said, “I understand my own race and in all my work, lyric or dramatic, I have thought of it . I shall write for my own people, whether in love or hate of them matters little, probably I shall not know which it is.”1 This credo is evident in the majority of Yeats’ literary efforts. Yeats believed literature should shape a country’s cultural identity, specifically in Yeats’ case, Ireland, while being free of all political motives. Despite this intention, Yeats’ literary addition to Ireland’s culture also contributed to radical Irish nationalism. Yeats’ main objective was to create an Irish identity free from English cultural influence. By no means was Yeats either an Anglophobe or an advocate for using violent tactics in nationalist movements. However, this did not prevent Yeats’ works from inspiring Irish nationalists who believed in using violence in order to attain self-rule. Padraig Pearse and Michael Collins, both of whom admired Yeats, interpreted Yeats’ works as supporting their respective ideologies during the Easter Uprising of 1916 and the Irish Civil War in 1922-1923. Yeats’ early poetry recounted Irish folklore, legends, and descriptions of Ireland’s natural imagery.
