(2018) Shaping the Future of Intellectual Disability Nursing in Ireland. Health Services Executive, Ireland Foreword Shaping the Future of Intellectual Disability Nursing in Ireland Foreword It is with great pleasure that we present this document “Shaping the Future of Intellectual Disability Nursing in Ireland” which sets out a clear direction for the future role of intellectual disability nursing in delivering on a key priority for the HSE; ensuring the best possible health and social care is delivered to individuals with an intellectual disability. Recent studies have shown, people with an Intellectual Disability are living longer and for some they develop complex health issues earlier in life than the general population. We must also bear in mind children, born with an intellectual disability are surviving into adulthood and old age. These adults and older people experience a range of physical and psychological health and social care complexities, highlighting the critical need for highly skilled intellectual disability nursing care across their lifespan. To achieve safe, high quality, modernised health and social care within community based services, a core ingredient is the availability of competent and skilled registered nurses in the field of Intellectual Disability supporting individuals with a disability achieve and maintain optimum health and well being. This document provides a road map of what we have learned from participants and experts involved in this specialist field to guide the delivery and development of Intellectual Disability nursing in the future. Intellectual Disability nurses must have the capacity to adapt, modify and accordingly adjust to the changing environment for Disability services. They must plan for the future to adapt and deliver a more holistic model of service that includes both health and social care. Alongside the very significant current and emerging challenges for these nurses, we believe it is very timely we are taking forward this plan to ensure the academic teaching, managerial and operational supports for intellectual disability nursing are the best they can be. The RNID holds an unparalleled qualification, skills and competencies that support individuals with an intellectual disability. The RNID is required to continuously modify their role, ways of working and practice to support evolving models of service and changes in service structure. The vision this document sets out, and its ultimate aim is to set a clear direction for intellectual disability nurses, one that is sustainable and has person-centredness, safety and inclusion at its heart. By doing this we can and will achieve even higher levels of excellence in the delivery of intellectual disability nursing. We recommend the operationalisation of its recommendations via a joint implementation group. This future plan for intellectual disability nursing has been influenced by many and we would like to express our sincere thanks to all involved. Specific appreciation is extended to Professor Mary McCarron and her team in Trinity College Dublin for their partnership working with the project steering group to undertake this work. Thanks also to all participants who provided the information and expertise to inform the report; individuals with an intellectual disability, their families, staff of all levels and grades throughout disability services, representative groups and national and international experts in the field. Thanks are also extended to each individual member of the steering group and to Liz Roche and Anne Marie Ryan for the leadership and coordination they have provided in developing this document.

We describe how conditions in the Irish labour market had still not fully recovered in 2017, from the impact of the 2007-08 financial crisis using Central Statistics Office (CSO) data for a selection of indicators related to employment, unemployment and wages. The data suggest there was a degree of slack in the Irish labour market in 2017. Unemployment and underemployment were still higher than a decade previously, while Irish employment and participation rates were significantly behind the best performers in Europe. In addition, real wage growth had been very weak since the onset of the economic recovery in 2012, while job vacancy rates were low by European standards. Overall, there was little evidence of the labour market overheating in 2017.

  • The List of Church of Ireland Parish Registers
    THE LIST of CHURCH OF IRELAND PARISH REGISTERS A Colour-coded Resource Accounting For What Survives; Where It Is; & With Additional Information of Copies, Transcripts and Online Indexes SEPTEMBER 2021 The List of Parish Registers The List of Church of Ireland Parish Registers was originally compiled in-house for the Public Record Office of Ireland (PROI), now the National Archives of Ireland (NAI), by Miss Margaret Griffith (1911-2001) Deputy Keeper of the PROI during the 1950s. Griffith’s original list (which was titled the Table of Parochial Records and Copies) was based on inventories returned by the parochial officers about the year 1875/6, and thereafter corrected in the light of subsequent events - most particularly the tragic destruction of the PROI in 1922 when over 500 collections were destroyed. A table showing the position before 1922 had been published in July 1891 as an appendix to the 23rd Report of the Deputy Keeper of the Public Records Office of Ireland. In the light of the 1922 fire, the list changed dramatically – the large numbers of collections underlined indicated that they had been destroyed by fire in 1922. The List has been updated regularly since 1984, when PROI agreed that the RCB Library should be the place of deposit for Church of Ireland registers. Under the tenure of Dr Raymond Refaussé, the Church’s first professional archivist, the work of gathering in registers and other local records from local custody was carried out in earnest and today the RCB Library’s parish collections number 1,114. The Library is also responsible for the care of registers that remain in local custody, although until they are transferred it is difficult to ascertain exactly what dates are covered.
