An autonomous body, the Council was established in 1951 to stimulate public interest in, and promote the knowledge, appreciation and practice of the arts. In fulfilling its remit, the Council provides advice to government on artistic matters, advice, assistance and support to individuals, arts organisations and a wide range of governmental and non-governmental bodies; and financial assistance to individuals and organisations for artistic purposes. As an advocate for the arts, the Arts Council commissions and publishes research and information and undertakes a range of development projects, often jointly with other public sector or non- governmental agencies. The Council also part funds the programmes of arts officers in local authorities and Údaras na Gaeltachta. The Arts Council consists of 12 members and a chair appointed by the Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism. The Council’s state grant in 2003 was €44m. The 52nd Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2003. Presented to the Government and laid before each house of the Oireachtas pursuant to sections 25 (2) and 26 (1) of the Arts Act, 2003.

My hypothesis is that the repertoire of myths, memories and symbols of the Irish nation formed the basis for individual interpretations of the events of the Easter Rising, and that this interpretation, in turn, stimulated members of the Irish nation to support radical nationalism. I have based my work on an interdisciplinary approach, utilising theories of ethnicity and nationalism as well as social movements.

  • The Celtic Languages in Contact
    On the ‘Celticity’ of Irish Newspapers – A Research Report Hildegard L.C. Tristram (University of Freiburg i.Brsg.) 1 1. Introduction Of all the print-media newspapers are the most commonly used. They are not literature in the sense of belles letters, but they should not be underestimated in their political, social and personal importance. No other printed product is as closely linked with everyday life as the newspapers. The day begins under their influence, and their contents mirror the events of the day with varying accuracy. Newspapers are strongly reader-oriented. They want to inform, but they also want to instil opinions. Specific choices of information shape the content level. Specific choices of language are resorted to in order to spread opinions and view- points. Language creates solidarity between the producers and the consumers of newspapers and thereby supports ideologies by specifically targeted linguistic means. Other strategies are employed for the same purpose, too. Visual aspects are of great importance, such as the typographical layout, the use of pictures, drawings, colours, fonts, etc. According to traditional views, Ireland is the place where people read more newspapers than anywhere else in the world, except perhaps for Iceland. Ac- cording to more recent sources, however, Ireland only comes twenty third out of 1 I am very grateful to the student researchers (Gm. ‘Hilfskräfte’) at the University of Pots- dam who have been involved in the analysis of the newspaper data at different stages since 1997, notably to Meinolf Bunsman, Irene Forsthoffer, Dr. Susanne Kries, Christina Bis- mark and Susanne Hübner. I also wish to thank the many students at Potsdam University be- tween 1997 and 2006 who assisted in the data collection by reading and analysing Irish newspapers in their undergraduate courses on the languages of Ireland (Gm.
