  • A Policy Trajectory Analysis of the National Strategy for Higher Education to 2030 in Ireland - an Institutes of Technology Perspective
    A Policy Trajectory Analysis of the National Strategy for Higher Education to 2030 in Ireland - An Institutes of Technology Perspective Ciarán P. Ó hAnnracháin A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Education School of Education University of Sheffield January 2018 Abstract The National Strategy for Higher Education to 2030 was commissioned by the Higher Education Authority and was published in 2011 under the chair of Colin Hunt. The National Strategy, along with policy implementation and review documents, makes some radical proposals for the reconfiguration of the HE landscape in Ireland with much of the focus on the restructuring of the non- university sector, particularly the fourteen Institutes of Technology (IoTs), while maintaining a “binary divide”. The reform agenda has provided many challenges to the Institutes of Technology sector, and a policy trajectory approach to policy analysis is adopted to investigate the proposed changes to the Institutes of Technology sector. The tensions and shift in power dynamics are key elements to the process of reform in what is a contested space. These tensions are explored from the perspective of the Institutes of Technology sector through a process of critical discourse analysis conducted in the policy document and semi-structured interviews with key policy stakeholders. A historical policy review of the evolution of the non-university sector in Ireland, alternative models in the European Higher Education Area and alternative proposals to the Hunt Report are used as counterpoints to frame the analysis. The analysis revealed that while the Report was initially broadly welcomed, the proposals and their implementation are far more complex and contentious, and there is less cohesion, particularly in the Institutes of Technology, on how the sector can ensure parity of esteem with, and a distinctive mission from, the traditional university sector.

  • The Archives of the Office of Public Works and Their Value As a Source
    ‘The archives of the Office of Public Works and their value for local history’ Rena Lohan, Archivist, National Archives Journal of the Irish Society for Archives, Autumn 1994 1 INTRODUCTION Despite a certain credibility problem, due partly to the lack of a precise definition, local history is fast becoming a valid and worthwhile branch of historical research. Therefore, like all other fields within the discipline, its success will be determined by the quality of analysis and interpretation of primary sources. Whether simply chronicling a series of events over time in a particular locality, or whether attempting to challenge the validity of established notions of what happened in the past by an analysis of the response of a small community to major historical events, a rich source base is essential. The archives of the Office of Public Works serve the local historian well in this regard. Due to the organisation's responsibility in the management and disposal of public funds for local projects, ranging from large undertakings involving extensive engineering works and the employment of vast numbers, to small coastal projects provided under distress legislation, there is scarcely a townland in the country with which it has not had contact over the last 160 years. Secondly, availability of the records for public inspection is guaranteed, as they come within the terms of the National Archives Act of 1986, which provides for the transfer of all government records over thirty years old to the National Archives. The best way to inform the reader of the value of this collection is by first of all giving a short historical background to the organisation (see section 2).
