Decies 60 HE year 2004 marks a significant anniversary in the field of local studies in the southeast of Ireland. Exactly 110 years ago, on the 25th January 1894, the Waterford and South East of Ireland Historical and Archaeological Society was launched, building on the work of earlier historians and antiquarians such as Smith, Ryland and Hansard and thus establishing on a formal basis the study of local history and archaeology in the region. Dr. Sheehan, the catholic bishop of Waterford and Lismore, and the first president of the new society deliv- ered the Inaugural Address, during the course of which he outlined a number of goals. These included: the publishing of a journal, the collection of sources for local studies, the establishment of a museum, and the cataloguing and preservation of archaeological sites and monuments. Although the original society and its journal did not survive the period of civil unrest in the country between 1916 and 1923, a number of these original objectives have since been realised. Local records are preserved and made available to researchers by the City and County Library Services, in the Waterford City Archives, and in the County Archives in Dungarvan. Waterford Museum of Treasures, and Dungarvan Museum preserve and put on display various aspects of our rich heritage. Decies the Journal of the Waterford Archaeological and Historical Society is now in its twenty-eighth year of publication. A number of important academic publications in recent years have recorded the archaeology and built heritage of the region. In the city major works of conservation have been carried out under the aus- pices of Diichas and Waterford City Council. The conservation of Reginald's Tower, the ongoing works at the Double Tower, works at St. John's Priory, the plans for further conservation work at the French Church and the proposed plans to re-roof the tower are projects which deserve our praise and encouragement. However concerns remain, especially with regard to conservation. Again it is worth quoting from Dr. Sheehan in 1894: There are few I believe who have any idea of the rapidity with which the old monuments ... are disappearing. Time, and a neglect little short of vandalism, have played sad havoc with some of our most important ruins. The walls of venerable buildings have been everywhere pulled down to construct stables and sties. Although it would be perhaps disingenuous to describe recent developments in the city as 'stables', some decisions prove that as a people, we are sometimes slow to learn from the mistakes of the past. In previous editorials in Decies a number of threats to aspects of our built heritage have been outlined, including developments in Grady's Yard and in the Railway Square area, and their possible impingement on sites of archaeological importance such as the Watergate

Tipperary, Commandant Vlll Battalion, 3rd Tipperary Brigade. 1 was a youth of 17 years of age when the Insurrection took place in Easter Week of 1916. I had just finished my school-going days and had commenced to assist my father in his hardware business in my native town of Carrick-on-Suir. There was then no unit of the Irish Volunteers in Carrick-on-Suir.. There were, however, in the town a. few nationally minded people, such as Dr. Murphy, Maurice Hickey and some members of the Dowley families, who had broken away from the Redmond ite Party and the Irish National Volunteers when the split took place in that body a few years before, but, as far as I am no effort was made to establish an aware, Irish Volun6eer company. On the other hand, Carrick-on-Suir held amongst the towns of Ireland the unenviable distinction of, in proportion to its population, giving the second highest percentage of recruits to the British Army.

  • Exploring the Economic Geography of Ireland1
    Working Paper No. 271 December 2008 www.esri.ie Exploring the Economic Geography of Ireland1 Edgar Morgenroth Subsequently published as "Exploring the Economic Geography of Ireland", Journal of the Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, Vol. 38, pp.42-73, (2008/2009). Abstract: Only a few research papers have analysed the spatial distribution of economic activity in Ireland. There are a number of reasons for this, not least the fact that comprehensive data on the location of economic activity by sector across all sectors has not been available at the highly disaggregated spatial level. This paper firstly establishes the geographic distribution of employment at the 2 digit NACE level, using a novel approach that utilises a special tabulation from the CSO 2006 Census of Population Place of Work Anonymised Records (POWCAR). It then analyses the spatial patterns of this distribution using maps and more formal methods such measures of spatial concentration and tests for spatial autocorrelation. The paper considers the locational preferences of individual sectors, the degree to which specific sectors agglomerate and co-agglomerate, and thus will uncover urbanisation effects and differences across urban and rural areas regarding economic activity. Keywords: Economic geography, employment distribution JEL Classification: R12, R14, R30. Corresponding Author: [email protected] 1 The author would like to thank the CSO, and particularly Gerry Walker, for making available the data used in the analysis.

Tel.: 353 91 492267. Fax: 353 91 495505. E-mail: [email protected] In writing about the social and cultural geographies of the past, we frequently reinforce notions of difference by using neatly delineated ethnic terms of reference that often superscribe the complexities of reality on the ground. Referring to ‘Gaels’ and ‘Galls’, demarcating ‘native’ and ‘foreign’ worlds in late medieval Ireland, is but one example. We often exaggerate, too, the boundedness of geographical space by speaking more of frontiers and less of overlapping territories. Using the context of late medieval Ireland, I propose in this paper the application and broadening of the concept of the contact zone – prevalent in postcolonial studies for a number of years – to address this specific issue of overstating social and cultural geographical cohesion and separation in the past.
