Tá Éire mar bhall iomlán den Aontas Eorpach, ag glacadh páirte i saol an tsráidbhaile dhomhanda agus in ionannú idirnáisiúnta atá ag dul i neart sna blianta tosaigh den 21ú hAois. Níor ghá áfach gurbh é a thiocfadh mar thoradh ar ionannú idirnáisiúnta na sochaí, ionannú teanga agus cultúir. Is léir go bhfuil níos mó gá ná riamh leis an méid is mó is féidir de ghréasán saibhir na dteangacha agus na gcultúr atá fós ar marthain sa domhan, a chosaint agus a chaomhnú. Is cuid den iarracht dhomhanda í chun saibhreas na héagsúlachta cultúir atá faoi bhagairt ar fud an domhain mhóir, a choimeád, an choimhlint chun an Ghaeilge a athbheochan agus a chaomhnú. Baineann gach sainghrúpa cultúrtha, cuirimis i gcás na Catalóinigh, na Briotáinigh nó na hÉireannaigh, le sraitheanna ar leith den éagsúlacht shaibhir chultúir sin. Is ann do suas le tríocha míle cainteoir dúchais Gaeilge agus labhrann céad míle eile duine an teanga go héifeachtach mar theanga laethúil chumarsáide. Tá a stáisiún raidió féin aici, a stáisiún teilifíse, a nuachtáin lae agus seachtaine, a cuid irisí agus úsáidtear í cuid mhór ar an idirlíon. Bronnann airteagal 8 de Bhunreacht na hÉireann (1937) stádas ar leith ar an nGaeilge mar “chéad teanga oifigiúil”. Ritheadh Acht na dTeangacha Oifigiúla san Oireachtas ar an 14 Iúil 2003. Leagann an tAcht dualgas staitiúideach ar ranna stáit agus ar choistí poiblí, méid agus cineál na seirbhísí poiblí a chuirtear ar fáil sa Ghaeilge, a neartú agus a fheabhsú thar tréimhse a d’aontófaí. Bheartaigh Rialtas na hÉireann i mí Iúil 2004 achainí fhoirmiúil a chur faoi bhráid an Aontais Eorpaigh maidir le stádas oifigiúil a thabhairt don Ghaeilge a bheadh ar aon dul le stádas na dteangacha stáit eile san Aontas. Cruthaíonn imeachtaí dlí agus polaitiúla dá leithéid seo aeráid dhearfach agus cuireann caoi ar fheabhas ar fáil d’ollscoileanna agus d’institiúidí poiblí eile, fás, forbairt agus athnuachan na teanga a chur chun cinn. Neartaíonn forálacha an achta teanga polasaí réamhghníomhach Gaeilge COC faoi mar a leagtar amach é sa cháipéis fhoirmiúil de chuid Bhord na Gaeilge agus An Choiste Rialaithe “Cur chun cinn na Gaeilge i saol an Choláiste” (1996). De thoradh an mhéadaithe ar éileamh ar chúrsaí teanga ginearálta agus sainchuspóra agus de bharr an riachtanais nua a bheidh le seirbhísí aistriúcháin gairmiúla a chur ar fáil san ollscoil, meastar go mbeidh gá lena thuilleadh ball foirne a cheapadh i réimse na Gaeilge sa mheántéarma. Tá téarmaí tagartha Bhord na Gaeilge leagtha síos i staitiúidí XCV agus CXL de chuid Staitiúidí Choláiste na hOllscoile Corcaigh. Ghlac Coiste Rialaithe COC leis an gcáipéis pholasaí “Cur chun cinn na Gaeilge i saol an Choláiste” ar 23 Aibreán 1996. Bunaíodh spriocráiteas Ionad na Gaeilge Labhartha ar an ndoiciméad céanna polasaí. Is féidir é a choimriú mar seo leanas : . an Ghaeilge a chur chun cinn go cruthaitheach in COC agus in Éirinn faoi réir ag forálacha Acht na nOllscol (1997), Comhaontú Bhéal Feirste (1998), Acht na dTeangacha Oifigiúla (2003). TuarBhl/0203/MionEolas 23 . cláir teanga sa Ghaeilge labhartha agus sa Ghaeilge fheidhmeach a thairiscint ag an uile leibhéal líofachta in COC agus sa Ghaeltacht. cur ar chumas daoine bheith páirteach i dtimpeallacht thacúil, dhátheangach a chuimsíonn scéimeanna agus gréasáin Ghaeilge agus gníomhaíochtaí cultúrtha. go dtiocfaidh na seirbhísí teanga faoi anáil taighde agus na gcleachtas is fearr i réimse an tsealbhaithe teanga. Buaiceanna na bliana – achoimre fheidhmitheach • Mhéadaigh líon na mac léinn a d’fhreastail cúrsaí teanga go dtí 1445. Méadú de 5.7% ar líon na bliana roimhe sin, is ea an líon san. Mhéadaigh faoi 21% líon na mac léinn san a bhí páirteach i scéimeanna agus i ngníomhaíochtaí teanga. • Bhí líon iomlán de 3018 i dteagmháil leanúnach leis an nGaeilge de thoradh na gclár múinte agus na scéimeanna teanga a cuireadh ar siúl i gcaitheamh na bliana. Is ionann an líon seo agus méadú de 12% ar líon na bliana 02/03. • Is í an uimhir mheánach i gcás líon na mac léinn a d’fhreastail cúrsaí an Ionaid sa tréimhse cheithre bliana 2000 – 2004 ná 1191. Bhí breis agus míle mac léinn i gceist den chéad uair riamh sa bhliain 2000 – 2001 agus is ag méadú atá an figiúr seo ó shin i leith. • Socraíodh tríocha rang lae agus naoi rang oíche dhéag. Cuireadh ar bun naoi rang speisialta eile san ollscoil, sa Ghaeltacht agus sa Ghearmáin. Is é líon iomlán na ranganna a mhúin foireann an Ionaid caoga hocht. Ceapadh fiche múinteoir páirtaimseartha agus naonúr aoiléachtóirí chun cur le dualgais teagaisc sheisear múinteoirí de chuid na foirne láir. • D’eagraigh an tIonad cúrsaí agus seimineáir a bhí dírithe ar dhaltaí de chuid na gClár Líonadh na Bearna agus Rochtana COC. Cuireadh COC in aithne trí mheán na Gaeilge do bhreis agus dhá chéad dalta de chuid an chéad agus an dara leibhéal oideachais. • Dearadh cúrsaí nua in úsáid chruinn na teanga agus san iriseoireacht raidió. Seoladh cúrsa nua dioplóma i bhfoghlaim/múineadh ríomhchuidithe na Gaeilge. Léiríodh suim mhór ann toisc gurb é an chéad chúrsa teanga san ollscoil é atá á chur ar siúl beag beann ar pháipéar. • Cuireadh i bhfearas i nDún Chíomháin, Corca Dhuibhne saotharlann nua ríomhaireachta le cabhair airgid ón ollscoil agus ó Roinn Stáit na nGnóthaí Pobail, Tuaithe agus Gaeltachta. Teicneolaíocht MAC den scoth amach ón deil atá i gceist, agus beidh slí sa tsaotharlann in aon turas le haghaidh ochtair déag mac léinn. • Cuireadh athbhreithniú ar siúl ar obair uile an Ionaid i rith na bliana. Ina thuairisc dheiridh dhein an Comhghrúpa Athbhreithnithe comhghairdeas le foireann an Ionaid mar gheall ar an rath a bhí ar pholasaí Gaeilge COC. Cuireadh síos ar an TuarBhl/0203/MionEolas 24 bhfoireann mar fhoireann an-ghairmiúil agus ard-sciliúil. Fuarthas amach go n- ullmhaítear agus go múintear na cláir teanga ar fad go gairmiúil agus go n-éiríonn leo a gcuspóirí a bhaint amach go héifeachtach. Moladh go hard sa tuairisc na scéimeanna agus na gníomhaíochtaí teanga a eagraítear in Ionad na Gaeilge Labhartha. • Is duais bhliantúil ar fiú €700 í Gradam na Gaeilge agus bronntar í ar an mac léinn is mó a chuireann an Ghaeilge chun cinn i gcaitheamh na bliana. Bronnadh duais 2004 ar Ghearóid Breathnach, Gaeltacht na Rinne ar 6 Bealtaine sa Seomra Caidrimh. Deineann Banc na hÉireann urraíocht ar an duais speisialta seo. Méadú leanúnach ar líon na mac léinn Bhí líon na mac léinn a d’fhreastail ar chúrsaí Ionad na Gaeilge Labhartha an-ard arís eile i mbliana. Ba é an líon a bhí i dtreis 1447 mac léinn. Mhéadaigh líon na ndaoine sin a ghlac páirt i scéimeanna teanga agus i ngníomhaíochtaí cultúrtha go dtí 1445. Chaith 126 mac léinn breise cúrsaí deireadh seachtaine i nDún Chíomháin i gcaitheamh na bliana. Is cosúil gur fhreastail an méid céanna mac léinn ar chúrsaí agus a ghlac páirt sna scéimeanna. Ba é an díorma iomlán mar sin a bhí ag teacht faoi anáil na Gaeilge Labhartha 3018 figiúr a léiríonn méadú de 12% ar an ndíorma de 2691 a bhí i gceist don bhliain roimhe sin.

  • 1 the Irish Sunday Newspaper
    1 The Irish Sunday newspaper: its role, character and history JOE BREEN & MARK O’BRIEN In his foreword to his 1967 edited volume, Your Sunday Paper, the British culture critic, Richard Hoggart, noted that ‘though a great deal has been written on the press in general, there is relatively little on the Sunday press in itself’.1 Many more words and volumes have addressed the general topic of newspapers since 1967, but, peculiarly, there remains something of a lacuna regarding study of the history of the Sunday press in Britain or in Ireland. Kevin Williams echoes that sentiment when he notes that the ‘role of Sunday is often neglected in standard histories of the British press, where they appear in a secondary role to the exploits of the daily newspaper’ while Brake, Kaul and Turner argue that the history of press scholarship privileges ‘daily press above all else’.2 This lack of critical scrutiny is all the more surprising when the Sundays have long lorded over their daily competitors in circulation and, some might argue, in influence. In Ireland, for instance, data at the Newsbrands website show that, for the period July to December 2017, daily newspapers in Ireland sold an average of 399,731 copies a day while Sundays recorded 567,600 sales.3 Williams notes that the earliest Sunday newspapers were serious publications and that it was ‘the format of sex, gossip and crime developed by papers such as the News of the World, Reynolds News and Lloyd’s Weekly News which enabled the Sundays to become Britain’s best-selling newspapers from the mid-nineteenth century’.4 He also records that the News of the World reached its sales peak in 1950 when it was calculated that 8.44 million people bought the paper; the highest daily sale recorded was 5.27 million for the Daily Mirror in 1967.5 The oldest Sunday newspaper in these islands, and possibly in the world, is The Observer which was first published in London in December 1791 and was, ‘in varying degrees a scurrilous gossip sheet, government propaganda rag and provocative thorn-in-the- side of the establishment.

  • Ancient Greek Tragedy and Irish Epic in Modern Irish
    MEMORABLE BARBARITIES AND NATIONAL MYTHS: ANCIENT GREEK TRAGEDY AND IRISH EPIC IN MODERN IRISH THEATRE A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Notre Dame in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Katherine Anne Hennessey, B.A., M.A. ____________________________ Dr. Susan Cannon Harris, Director Graduate Program in English Notre Dame, Indiana March 2008 MEMORABLE BARBARITIES AND NATIONAL MYTHS: ANCIENT GREEK TRAGEDY AND IRISH EPIC IN MODERN IRISH THEATRE Abstract by Katherine Anne Hennessey Over the course of the 20th century, Irish playwrights penned scores of adaptations of Greek tragedy and Irish epic, and this theatrical phenomenon continues to flourish in the 21st century. My dissertation examines the performance history of such adaptations at Dublin’s two flagship theatres: the Abbey, founded in 1904 by W.B. Yeats and Lady Gregory, and the Gate, established in 1928 by Micheál Mac Liammóir and Hilton Edwards. I argue that the potent rivalry between these two theatres is most acutely manifest in their production of these plays, and that in fact these adaptations of ancient literature constitute a “disputed territory” upon which each theatre stakes a claim of artistic and aesthetic preeminence. Partially because of its long-standing claim to the title of Ireland’s “National Theatre,” the Abbey has been the subject of the preponderance of scholarly criticism about the history of Irish theatre, while the Gate has received comparatively scarce academic attention. I contend, however, that the history of the Abbey--and of modern Irish theatre as a whole--cannot be properly understood except in relation to the strikingly different aesthetics practiced at the Gate.

  • On Newspapers in Ireland at Present, There Are No Women Running Any Of
    On newspapers in Ireland At present, there are no women running any of the major newspapers in the Republic of Ireland. We have to look at the past to find women who have served as editors-in-chief of the largest newspapers in the country. A particularly noteworthy case was that of Ms. Fiona Mchugh, appointed editor-in-chief of the Irish edition of The Sunday Times at the beginning of the 21st century, holding the role for 5 years. In 2002, Ms. Geraldine Kennedy became the editor of the Irish Times, the second largest daily newspaper in the country. She headed the newspaper until 2011. Following them, a number of women have become editors-in-chief of some of Ireland's leading newspapers. It is the case of Ms. Nóirín Hegarty (appointed editor in 2005 of the now defunct Sunday Tribune), Ms. Anne Harris (editor-in-chief of the most circulated Sunday newspaper in Ireland, the Sunday Independent, from 2012 to 2014) or Ms. Claire Grady (editor-in-chief of Ireland's leading daily newspaper, the Irish Independent, although she only held the post for 1 year). However, as stated above, there is currently a significant lack of women at the top of the country's leading newspapers. The genders of the editors-in-chief among the 7 largest daily national newspapers by circulation in the Republic of Ireland1 are shown in Table 1 below2: TABLE 1 Circulation (July - Political Publishing Gender editor- Newspaper December alignment group in-chief (name) 2018) (ABC)3 Independent Irish Conservative, Male (Cormac 83,900 News & Media Independent populist Bourke) (Mediahuis) Irish Times Male ( Paul Irish Times 58,131 Liberal Trust O'Neill) Right-wing, Male (Kieran The Sun4 52,121 News UK conservative McDaid)5 Irish Daily Left-wing, Male (John 44,233 Reach plc Star6 populist Mitchell)7 1 The data comes from the monthly data published by Audit Bureau of Circulations (“ABC”) relating to the period between July and December 2018.

These include Ireland’s three best selling dailies: The Irish Times, the Irish Independent, and the Irish Daily Star, and a regional newspaper with a notable online presence, the Limerick Leader. This research examines the day-to-day operations of Irish news organisations; the resources devoted to their digital media/online departments, the revenue-generation strategies in place to monetize the work of these departments; and the prioritization given to the various mediums through which information is distributed.

O’Connor took a side-swipe at those publications that proclaimed their independence of all political and business interests. He declared that he liked ‘an “independent” journal as little as the politician who assumes to himself the same adjective’. In his long experience of newspapers and politics, he had, he declared, ultimately found that ‘independence’ was simply ‘a euphemism for personal vanity, personal interest, or mere crankiness of temper and opinion’.1 As we have seen in chapter two, despite its declaration that ‘The extravagances of partisanship will be unknown in the Irish Independent’, William Martin Murphy was not shy in using the Irish Independent to defend his commercial interests during the Great Lockout of 1913.2 Similarly, the Irish Press, although declaring that it would not be ‘the organ of an individual, or a group or a party’, was the political organ of Eamon de Valera and, to a lesser extent, Fianna Fáil.3 In contrast, the Irish Times was upfront about where it stood: its first edition had declared ‘As Irishmen we shall think and speak; but it shall be as Irishmen loyal to the British connection...’4 As Ireland modernised in the 1960s and as RTÉ began television broadcasting that was, by statute, obliged to be fair and impartial in relation to news and current affairs, the role of the newspaper as an advocate or defender of its owner’s political or commercial interests became outdated.

  • Mcgee, Eugene
    TEXT OF THE INTRODUCTORY ADDRESS DELIVERED BY: DR IOGNÁID Ó MUIRCHEARTAIGH, Pro-Vice-Chancellor of the University, President, National University of Ireland, Galway, on 20 September 2007, on the occasion of the conferring of the Degree of Doctor of Laws honoris causa, on EUGENE McGEE A Sheánsailéir agus a mhuintir na hOllscoile: Is mór an onóir domsa fear uasal, tuarisceoir den scoth, eagarthóir irise, foillsitheoir, bainisteoir fóirne peile thar cinn, agus saineolaí ar chursaí spoirt, Eugene McGee, a chur in bhúr láthair le go mbronnfar dochtúireacht oinigh air. I hope I can be excused a personal aside before I introduce Eugene McGee this afternoon. Exactly 25 years ago from yesterday, September 19, 1982, I brought my eldest daughter, Róisín, then seven years of age, to Croke Park to see her first all-Ireland final. It was Kerry versus Offaly, and Róisín asked me which team she should cheer for. I told her “Kerry of course”, knowing the importance of instilling basic values at an early age. All was wonderful until the final minutes, when the Séamus Darby goal dramatically ended the dream of an historic Kerry five-in-a-row. Róisín, totally traumatised, turned to me and said “it’s all your fault, you told me to cheer for Kerry”. She still has not forgiven me, and so it was with some mixed feelings that I accepted the honour of presenting to you Chancellor, for the conferral on him of an honorary doctorate, the manager of that Offaly team, Eugene McGee. I will return to the matter of the 1982 game later on.
