  • Irish Universities Athletics Champions 1873-2020 Updated March 2020
    Irish Universities Athletics Champions 1873-2020 Updated March 2020 University athletics have played important roles in the foundation and evolution of track and field in Ireland. The first athletics meeting took place in College Park on Saturday 28 February, 1857, under the auspices of Trinity College Dublin Football (rugby) Club, termed ‘The Dublin University Football Club Foot Races’. This athletics meeting was only preceded by meetings organised by The Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, London in 1842 and at Exeter College, Oxford in 1850. What became known as "The College Races" continued through until 1986, except on eight occasions – 1878 and 1879 when the Board of the College refused permission because of a drunken riot by students in 1877, WWI (1915-1919) and 1921 because a female student spectator had been shot dead by an I.R.A. sniper from Nassau Street during a cricket match. The first All-Ireland Track and Field Championships were held in College Park under the auspices of Irish Champion Athletic Club on 7 July, 1873, with some 8,000 spectators watching 91 entries in the 13 events. Henry Wallace Doveton Dunlop, a Trinity graduate, was the founder of the I.C.A.C. His lasting achievement was the building of Lansdowne Road Rugby Ground, the oldest international rugby ground in the world, as a multi-sport complex for athletics, cricket, rugby, tennis, archery and bowls. College Park and Lansdowne Road would continue to be prime venues for international athletics matches and meetings and Irish championships for over a century. The Queen’s University of Ireland was established formally by Royal Charter on 3 September 1850 as the degree-awarding body for the Queen’s Colleges of Belfast, Cork and Galway, which had been established in 1845.

  • 1 Xenophobia and Radicalism in Ireland (2017) Dr William Allchorn Introduction Ireland Presents Itself As Somewhat of a Peculiar
    Xenophobia and Radicalism in Ireland (2017) Dr William Allchorn Introduction Ireland presents itself as somewhat of a peculiarity when looking at forms of Xenophobia and Radicalism. As this report will discuss, Ireland’s above average support for migrants and lack of an organised or successful radical right political scene marks it out as an anomalous case of moderation tolerance within Western Europe. Moreover, elite discourse towards minorities and migrants tended to be positive on the whole in the period under study (2017). This is not to say, however, that Ireland has not had it struggled with exclusionary practices. As this report highlights, hate crime is still not a specifically enforceable criminal offence and third-party recorded statistics mask the underreporting of these incidences. Moreover, minority representation among law enforcement agencies is remarkably low. This report will therefore look into the period under study and suggest how far Ireland is an anomalous case - focusing on changes in legislation, the current state of law enforcement practices, rhetoric of government officials, popular attitudes towards migrants (in sport and society) as well as the profile of radical right parties. What will be found is positive adherence to moderation, tolerance and human rights norms on the whole – with some room for improvement in key areas of legislation, law enforcement and underlying popular prejudice against minorities. 1. Changes in Legalisation Protection of freedom of religion and religious expression is enshrined in Ireland’s 1937 Constitution. According to Article 44 of the Constitution of Republic of Ireland, the state shall not patronise any religion, there shall be no discrimination based on religious affiliation, faith or position (including discrimination of schools).

  • Vous Apprendrez, Jeune Homme, Que Je Ne Regarde Pas Les Femmes
    Notes Une sélection d’extraits d’œuvres intéressantes accompagnée d’une bibliographie, d’une playlist & d’une filmographie - Mise à jour du 20 août 2008 lorenzolokibi.net 1 Leon était l'homme le plus intelligent qu'il m'ait été donné de rencontrer en prison. Rares étaient ceux que j'avais connu à la maison de correction qu'on aurait pu qualifier d'intelligents. Ce n'était pas la profondeur ni l'éventail de son savoir qui étaient, à vrai dire, aussi impressionnants. Je suis sûr que j'avais lu plus de livres que lui. Il lisait rarement de la fiction alors que, pour ma part, je crois que rien n'explore mieux les profondeurs et les ténèbres de l'esprit humain que les grands romans, et même un roman très moyen peut éclairer de sa lumière une crevasse inconnue. Dostoïevski vous fait comprendre les réflexions des joueurs, assassins et autres mieux que tous les psychologues, Freud y compris. Edward Bunker, L'éducation d'un malfrat En 1927, quand je me suis engagé dans votre Légion, je ne suis pas sûr de ne pas avoir douté de mon pays. ... Vous n'avez pas connu Berlin, les pétitions pour autoriser les mariages entre hommes, les femmes en bottes et à cravache sur le Kurfurstendamm, la morphine débitée presque ouvertement, un mélange affreux de vice et de ridicule. Et toute la pourriture de la philosophie, de la littérature, de la musique, du cinéma. Peut-être y avez-vous pris plaisir, de loin. Vous le pouviez, vous étiez loin justement. Mais de près ! Et pas un espoir.
