  • The Donegal District Lunatic Asylum
    ‘A WORLD APART’ – The Donegal District Lunatic Asylum Number of Registrar Name Where Chargable This exhibition curated by the Donegal County Museum and the Archives Service, Donegal County Council in association with the HSE was inspired by the ending of the provision of residential mental health services at the St. Conal’s Hospital site. The hospital has been an integral part of Letterkenny and County Donegal for 154 years. Often shrouded by mythology and stigma, the asylum fulfilled a necessary role in society but one that is currently undergoing radical change.This exhibition, by putting into context the earliest history of mental health services in Donegal hopes to raise public awareness of mental health. The exhibition is organised in conjunction with Little John Nee’s artist’s residency in An Grianan Theatre and his performance of “The Mental”. This project is supported by PEACE III Programme managed for the Special EU Programmes Body by Donegal County Council. Timeline This Timeline covers the period of the reforms in the mental health laws. 1745 - Dean Jonathan Swift: 1907 - Eugenics Education Society: On his death he left money for the building of Saint Patrick’s This Society was established to promote population control Hospital (opened 1757), the first in Ireland to measures on undesirable genetic traits, including mental treat mental health patients. defects. 1774 - An Act for Regulating Private Madhouses: 1908 Report by Royal Commission This act ruled that there should be inspections of asylums once on Care of Feeble-Minded a year at least, but unfortunately, this only covered London. 1913 Mental Deficiency Act: 1800 - Pressure for reform is growing: This Act established the Board of Control to replace the Lunacy This is sparked off by the terrible conditions in London’s Commission.

  • 3 Failure, Guilt, Confession, Redemption? Revisiting
    Journal of Psychosocial Studies Volume 10, Issue 1, May 2017 Failure, guilt, confession, redemption? Revisiting unpublished research through a psychosocial lens MARCUS FREE Abstract This article offers some critical reflections on a case of failure to bring a qualitative research project to completion and publication earlier in the author’s career. Possible explanations are considered in light of insights derived from the ‘psychosocial’ turn in qualitative research associated particularly with Hollway and Jefferson’s Doing Qualitative Research Differently (2001/2013). The project was an interview-based study of the life experiences of middle aged and older Irish emigrants in England, conducted in the late 1990s in Birmingham and Manchester. The article considers the failure as a possible psychic defence against the anxiety that completion and publication would be a betrayal of the interviewees, many of whom described experiences distressing to themselves and the interviewer. The psychoanalytic concepts of ‘transference’ and ‘countertransference’ are used to speculate as to the role of the unconscious at work in the interview encounters and how, despite class and generational differences, psychodynamic fantasies relating to both interviewees’ and interviewer’s migration histories and experiences may have impacted upon each other. Introduction Many researchers leave unfinished projects behind them and experience varying degrees of regret and uncertainty as to the reasons for reluctance or inability to bring the research to fruition. This article concerns a qualitative research project from earlier in my career that never reached completion and remains a source of guilt and shame for me. It revisits the research critically using a psychosocial lens in an attempt to identify and consider the possible underlying reasons for this failure.

    2020 Spirit of Ireland: A Healing Journey Ruins, Runes and Tunes Glenveigh Castle, Glenveigh National Park, County Donegal, Ireland Tour Dates: June 13-24, 2020 Tour Destination: This year’s trip will take us to County Donegal (with a day in County Antrim and the Giant’s Causeway) to see many magical sights which we don’t normally visit on the Spirit of Ireland Tours, as well as immerse in the wonderful Irish culture. This is a tour NOT to be missed. What Makes Our Tours So Special: We come together on this sacred pilgimage as a group of healers, from all walks of life, to bring healing energies of love and compassion to the energetic Celtic ley lines (also known as farie lines) located at various sacred sites in Ireland. We participate in several sacred ceremonies including poetry, music, meditation and songs to connect heart to heart in this most magical place called the Emerald Isle. Traditional music is a big part of this tour, for the most authentic Irish expereince. People often say that traveling to Ireland is like stepping back in time to a land steeped in rich culture, history and spirituality; a less rushed lifestyle in a magical setting, where people meet you with a smile and a twinkle in their eye. Everyone who has traveled with us on previous excursions describes this trip as a life-changing event in their lives; the memories and friendships forged will last a lifetime. Tour Itinerary: Our tour itinerary is still being finalized, but sights on the agenda include the Beltane Stone Circle, Glenveagh National Park, Slieve League, Giant’s Causeway, Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge, Dunluce Castle, Leo’s Tavern, and lots of great traditional Irish music.

  • Little John Nee Residency - Preliminary Report November 2010
    An Grianán Theatre Peace III project preliminary report Little John Nee Residency - Preliminary report November 2010 The Derry Boat 2010 The theme, style and format of each of the eight workshops undertaken by Little John to date have varied greatly. This is a measure of the versatile artist who is adaptable in his approach to working with very different community groups. And even though the profile of the group changes from session to session, the constant is Little John’s talent of seeing each for who they are, settling down with them and creating a space where an openness and gentleness of story sharing prevails. Workshops linked with The Derry Boat performance have had an emphasis on our shared past. Memories of what times were like for those who travelled on the Derry Boat, who lived and raised families in Scotland, who left families behind in Ireland are recounted from first and second hand experiences. Stories told are colourful, some are melancholy, others are humorous and all are precious. And for those participants for whom the Derry Boat itself was not a part of their history or a factor in their present, the universal theme of family is central to all. Participants nod in agreement, laugh in recognition and sigh in the knowledge of a shared understanding. Everyone has a story. I’ll share mine and then maybe you might like to share yours. LJN Further outreach work confirmed for the residency Four of the older people’s groups with whom Little John visited have expressed a strong desire in continuing with the successful model of hosting post-performance storytelling workshops for the duration of the residency.

The pubs fall into two distinct categories: On the National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors for pubs that remain wholly or largely intact since before World War Two, or are exceptional examples of intact post-war schemes completed before 1970, or which retain particular rooms or other internal features of exceptional historic importance. On the Regional Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors for the Northern Ireland . Inclusion criteria are lower than for the National listings but the same principles apply, with the emphasis on the internal fabric and what is authentically old. In the section More to Try are pubs that are considered to be of 'some regional importance', meaning that the criteria for a full Regional Inventory entry is not satisfied in terms of the overall layout and fittings, but that specific features are of sufficient quality for the pub to be considered noteworthy.

    Contents Library Service 2 Arts Service 6 Archives Service 10 Museum Service 12 Public Art 15 Heritage Office 18 Regional Cultural Centre 22 Cultural Services Division Personnel 26 Foreword onegal County Council takes a proactive approach to the provision of cultural services in the county. DThis document highlights a number of events and achievements of the Council’s Cultural Services Division from 2010, which show the huge diversity and the exceptional quality of the various programmes, whether this be through the Library Service, the Arts (County Arts , Regional Cultural Centre, Public Art) or Heritage (Museum, Archives, Heritage). The Elected Members of Donegal County Council recognise the importance of culture as a resource for County Donegal and seek to provide support for this key sector annually. It is our aim that the Council will continue to deliver high quality cultural services as one of its core services. The 5 goals of the Cultural Services Division are (i) to improve access to, and increase participation in cultural activities in County Donegal, (ii) to maintain and develop a high quality service, (iii) to promote and develop the educational value of culture, (iv) to promote excellence and innovation, and (v) to promote the importance of culture and preserve cultural inheritance. While these are high-level goals, they translate into a range of cultural experiences available to the community across the county. Each experience can contribute to the short, medium and long-term development of the individual, particularly of children and young people, but also for adults. These experiences are provided for your enjoyment, information and education and I encourage you to take up the opportunities provided.
