From the end of October they may be seen foraging in open country in large flocks. They feed mainly on worms, berries and fruit. Although our visitors come mainly from Iceland, redwings also fly here from Scandinavia and Northern Europe. They have flexible itineraries; some may stay for a few weeks and then fly further south to Spain. Those that come here one year may go elsewhere another year. Their population in Europe is estimated to be thirty to forty million. Redwings are about the same size as song thrushes but are easily distinguished from them by the stripe over the eye and the rusty coloured flanks. It is generally not easy to get near them but during the severe frost last January they had to abandon the open fields and look for food in sheltered areas and gardens - hence the picture.

  • Irish Schools Athletics Champions 1916-2015 Updated June 15 2015
    Irish Schools Athletics Champions 1916-2015 Updated June 15 2015 In February 1916 Irish Amateur Athletic Association (IAAA) circularised the principal schools in Ireland regarding the advisability of holding Schoolboys’ Championships. At the IAAA’s Annual General Meeting held on Monday 3rd April, 1916 in Wynne’s Hotel, Dublin, the Hon. Secretary, H.M. Finlay, referred to the falling off in the number of affiliated clubs due to the number of athletes serving in World War I and the need for efforts to keep the sport alive. Based on responses received from schools, the suggestion to hold Irish Schoolboys’ Championships in May was favourably considered by the AGM and the Race Committee of the IAAA was empowered to implement this project. Within a week a provisional programme for the inaugural athletics meeting to be held at Lansdowne Road on Saturday 20th May, 1916 had been published in newspapers, with 7 events and a relay for Senior and 4 events and a relay for Junior Boys. However, the championships were postponed "due to the rebellion" and were rescheduled to Saturday 23rd September, 1916, at Lansdowne Road. In order not to disappoint pupils who were eligible for the championships on the original date of the meeting, the Race Committee of the IAAA decided that “a bona fide schoolboy is one who has attended at least two classes daily at a recognised primary or secondary school for three months previous to 20 th May, except in case of sickness, and who was not attending any office or business”. The inaugural championships took place in ‘quite fine’ weather.

  • Religion in the Public Education System of Bulgaria
    RELIGION IN PUBLIC EDUCATION IN IRELAND1 PAUL COLTON2 Introduction The Irish education system is a crucible for social and political comment as well as controversy.3 The role of religion and religious groups in education is a dominant theme of that debate, as is the challenge of according each citizen rights afforded by Articles 42 and 44 of Bunreacht na hÉireann.4 This has been referred to as ‗a dormant crisis in waiting.‘5 The religious institutions are wrestling with the issues also.6 Religion and Education: A Cauldron of Debate The contemporary reality is remote from the vision put forward by Lord Stanley in 1831. He envisaged a system of national education in Ireland, which endeavoured ‗…to unite in one system children of different creeds.‘7 Today, the established educational framework is predominantly denominational in character. At the same time there are new religious groups (not exclusively Christian) either seeking their own schools or more multi-denominational schools. There is also a small, but vocal, group calling for a universal secular system of education.8 Others seek diversification of the numbers of patrons (religious and non-religious) 1 This paper will deal solely with the Republic of Ireland. The paper follows the Grille Thématique of the Consortium including the request to deal only with education prior to third level. For detailed reading on the subject of the law, children, education and religion in Ireland see J. Coolahan, Irish Education: History and Structure (1981, Institute of Public Administration, Dublin); D. Glendenning, Religion, Education and the Law (2008, Tottel, Dublin) Ch.9; D.
