  • Political Constructions of Transnational EU Migrants in Ireland
    FROM THE MOUTHS OF JANUS: Political constructions of transnational EU migrants in Ireland Martin J. Power, Amanda Haynes, Eoin Devereux Introduction INTERNATIONAL RESEARCH INDICATES that recessionary periods may be accom- panied by a decline in the quality of relations between the majority population and migrant groups as the latter are at risk of being scapegoated for the economic down- turn. In that context, political leadership on the matter of immigration is of crucial importance, with political parties having a key role to play in framing how the public understand immigration. This article is based on research which examined how politicians construct non-Irish EU immigrants to Ireland through an analysis of the content of statements attributed to this group in the print media. The article focuses on those statements relating to welfare and the economy, which were among a larger range of themes identified in the wider study. Our sample of articles demonstrates that representatives on both the left and right of the political spectrum were found to commonly address the issue of immigration as a social problem, whether by contributing to its framing as a problem, or by seek- ing to contradict its problematisation. In particular, our analysis demonstrated that some representatives of mainstream parties contribute to a discourse whereby migrants are constructed as fraudulent and as burdens on the economy. Drawing on theories (McLaren and Johnson, ;Blumer,;Quillian,;Espenshadeand Hempstead, ) that link anti-immigrant hostility to perceptions of resource com- petition, our paper argues that such political constructions of EU migrants reflect a neoliberal understanding of citizenship which prioritises the economic citizen.

The name AONTAS is an acronym in the Irish language, Aos Oideachais Náisiúnta Tri Aontú Saorálach meaning ‘national adult education through voluntary unification’. The word AONTAS itself is also the Irish word for ‘unity‘ or ‘union’, so the intention of the founders of AONTAS was that it would be identified by its inclusiveness. It is a registered charity and a company limited by guarantee. It is core funded by the Department of Education and Skills through SOLAS, the Further Education and Training Authority, and receives project funding from other sources from time to time. With over 550 members from the formal and non‐formal adult and community education sector as well as across the lifelong learning spectrum AONTAS regards its membership as a key resource which provides the organisation with a grassroots, authentic understanding of adult and community education practice from both a practitioner and learner perspective. The membership profile comprises a rich mix of statutory, voluntary and community organisations as well as individuals who are deeply involved in and committed to the concept of lifelong learning.
