Ivan Connaughton Chairperson’s Address I had the great pleasure of being elected as Chairperson of Galway and Roscommon Education and Training Board during 2015 which was a particularly busy year for GRETB. I now welcome the publication of the 2015 Annual Report, which demonstrates the continuing work of the three former VECs and former FÁS training Centre in the merged entity of GRETB. The report highlights GRETB’s success throughout the year in achieving a core objective of being recognised as the leading provider of quality, accessible and integrated education and training services in counties Galway and Roscommon. With a board of 21 members, 1,770 staff, 20,000 learners and an annual budget in the region of €100 million, GRETB covers a large geographical area to a population of 325,000 people. As a board member since 2014, I have found all members of the board very focused in striving for an enhanced, co-ordinated and balanced service for communities throughout the GRETB area. With a dynamic board that puts people first, we work closely to highlight issues of importance and promote the many services currently provided for all people of all ages. As the finances of the economy improve, I hope that priority is given to education and training. The recruitment embargo has had a negative impact and with an ever increasing demand for the services which GRETB provides, we continue to work collaboratively with our Oireachtas members in seeking additional funding so the people from Boyle to Connemara and all in between have equal education and training opportunities. The highlight of my term as Chairperson was attending the Inaugural GRETB Award Ceremony in May, 2015, which provided an opportunity for GRETB to award the excellence and achievement of our 2nd level students under various headings, Sport, Innovation and Entrepreneurship, the Sciences, Arts and Culture, Academic, etc. On a sad note, the passing of Joe McDonagh, former CE of MSLETB and CEO of the former County Galway VEC, brought profound sadness. All acknowledge his kindness, generosity and love for education and the Irish language. We remember and offer our condolences to all staff who suffered bereavements during the past year. I would like to compliment the Chief Executive, David Leahy, his senior management and staff for their successes during 2015 and for their leadership in ensuring that GRETB is a progressive, responsive and responsible organisation. I look forward to working with you all in the forthcoming year. Cllr Ivan Connaughton. Galway and Roscommon ETB Annual Report 2015 7 Mr. David Leahy, Chief Executive GRETB Chief Executive Address Galway and Roscommon Education and Training Board is pleased to bring to you the Annual Report of GRETB for 2015. 2015 has been a year when GRETB has continued to improve our learners’ experience while simultaneously improving governance practices. We have continued to increase our learner and staff numbers as we respond to ever increasing demands from our learners and their education and training requirements. Notwithstanding these positive developments, given the size, scale and responsibilities of this ETB, the need for GRETB to develop appropriate governance structures in terms of an IT system and management / staffing team cannot be overstated. The developments led by the Department of Education and Skills, to respond to these structural deficits, should beexpedite d in the shortest possible timeframe to ensure that we minimise the associated risks. Details of the GRETB developments are outlined in this report, and are a reminder of the enormous progress that has been made this year. The various ETB schools detail their statistics and achievements for 2015, as does the Further Education and Training Services. These are outlined in the separate sections of this Report. Overall I wish to convey my thanks and appreciation to: . Each member of the Board for their active co-operation in promoting the business of Galway & Roscommon ETB in so many ways – serving on Interview Boards, participating in Boards of Management, in Consultative Committees, attending Regional and National Meetings; . The Principals, Deputy Principals and Co-ordinators for the progressive manner in which they lead their schools and centres; The teachers for the quality of their work both inside and outside the classroom; The Adult and Further Education staff, for their commitment to quality in a time of great change for the sector. The non-teaching staff for their commitment and loyalty; the parents for their unfailing support; the Boards of Managements, the various Sub-Committees etc, who give so generously of their time in promoting the work of GRETB. The officials of the Department of Education and Skills and Solas for their co-operation in expandingthe work of the GRETB. Finally, I wish to acknowledge the retirements of long serving members of staff andwish them health and happiness in their retirement and to thank them for their service. GRETB looks forward to continuing to work in partnership with all our Staff, Board Members, Parents, Teachers, Students, Learners and other stakeholders.

  • Gender in Irish Between Continuity and Change1
    Gender in Irish between continuity and change1 Alessio S. Frenda Trinity College Dublin The gender system of Irish appears to have undergone a process of simplification: traditionally depending on both formal and semantic assignment rules, agreement in contemporary spoken Irish is still rather conservative within the noun phrase, but almost exclusively semantic anaphorically. Language contact and the resulting obsolescence seem to have had some influence on these developments: for instance, structures that have a functional counterpart in English seem more resilient than others. But language-internal developments, particularly the phonetic erosion and loss of word-final syllables, may have played an important role, too: similar developments have been observed in non-obsolescent languages like Dutch and French. In this article, I illustrate some specific aspects of the Irish situation with examples drawn from a corpus of spoken Irish and frame the simplification process in terms of structural convergence in the context of language contact. Keywords: Irish, grammatical gender, language change, language obsolescence, contact, convergence 1. Introduction In this article I present the findings of a comparison between two corpora of spoken Irish, representative, respectively, of a traditional Gaeltacht vari- 1 This research was funded by a Government of Ireland Exchange Scholarship and by an IRCHSS Postgraduate Scholarship.

    O Maolalaigh, R. (2019) Fadó: A Conservative Survival in Irish? Éigse: A Journal of Irish Studies, 40, pp. 207-225. There may be differences between this version and the published version. You are advised to consult the publisher’s version if you wish to cite from it. http://eprints.gla.ac.uk/165727/ Deposited on 9 August 2018 Enlighten – Research publications by members of the University of Glasgow http://eprints.gla.ac.uk Fadó: A Conservative Survival in Irish? Building on the insightful interpretations provided by Thurneysen (GOI), R. A. Breatnach (1951; 1954), Binchy (1984) and Hamp (1990), this brief contribution suggests an alternative explanation for the etymology and origin of the commonly used Irish adverb fadó (‘long ago’). It proposes a relation with the final element of the ancient legal phrase co nómad n-áu / n-ó and explores the possible connection with Manx er dy (‘since’). The temporal adverb fadó (‘long ago’) survives in Irish but is not found in Scottish Gaelic. The case for the possible survival of fadó in Manx is tentatively made in the appendix. The nearest equivalent in Scottish Gaelic is fada bhuaidh(e) (‘long ago, a long time ago’) – discussed further below – and (bh)o chionn f(h)ada: see, for instance, LASID IV (q. 726, pts a–g; q. 1035, pt c). In traditional tales, we find o chionn fada; o chionn tìm fhada; bho shean, etc. (e.g. McKay 1940–60, II: 54, 88, 358, 17).1 In Scotland, fada is often used with the simple preposition / conjunction (bh)o, e.g.

  • Incorporation, Focus and the Phonology of Ellipsis in Irish Ryan Bennett & James Mccloskey UC Santa Cruz
    Incorporation, focus and the phonology of ellipsis in Irish Ryan Bennett & James McCloskey UC Santa Cruz This paper analyzes a certain class of misalignments found in contemporary Irish in the relation between syntactic and phonological representations. The mismatches analyzed turn on the phonological requirements of focus (verum focus in particular) and of ellipsis and on how the two sets of requirements interact. It argues that the phonological mechanisms of ellipsis can be over-ridden when the phonological requirements of F-marking need to be satisfied and the analysis requires a theoretical framework in which the post-syntactic computation is characterized by parallel and simultaneous optimization. In particular, it is argued that certain facets of ellipsis, morphophonology, and prosody are computed in parallel, as in classic Optimality Theory. The analysis also relies crucially on a kind of head movement (from specifier to a commanding head position) whose existence is predicted by current conceptions of phrase structure but which seems to be little documented. Incorporation, focus and the phonology of ellipsis in Irish Ryan Bennett (UC Santa Cruz), Emily Elfner (York University), Jim McCloskey (UC Santa Cruz) SPOT Workshop November 18, 2017 1 Purposes - Explore the interaction between: • Head movement, • the phonology of focus, • and ellipsis in Irish. - Lessons: • Focus prosody, ellipsis, and head movement interact in a way which suggests they are computed at least partially in parallel. • Ellipsis is fundamentally a phonological phenomenon, with syntactic roots. - Empirical core of the paper: the morpho-syntax and phonology of subject pronouns in Irish, and an unusual interplay between focus prosody and ellipsis.
