  • ALL HALLOWS COLLEGE, DUBLIN Records, 1842-1877 Reels M871-874
    AUSTRALIAN JOINT COPYING PROJECT ALL HALLOWS COLLEGE, DUBLIN Records, 1842-1877 Reels M871-874 All Hallows College Gracepark Road Dublin 9 IRELAND National Library of Australia State Library of New South Wales Filmed: 1974 HISTORICAL NOTE All Hallows College was the first modern foundation in Ireland set up to train priests for work in foreign missions. John Hand (1807-1846) attended St Patrick’s College, Maynooth, and was ordained a priest in 1835. He had a strong interest in the Association for the Propaganda of the Faith, which was founded in 1838, and he conceived the idea of a college in which priests would be trained to serve the Irish peoples in English-speaking countries other than Ireland. In February 1842 the Holy See gave its blessing to the project and All Hallows College was formally opened in November 1842. It was housed in a mansion in Drumcoda in Dublin. The early presidents of the College were: Rev. John Hand 1842-1846 Dr David Moriarty 1846-1854 Dr Bartholomew Woodlock 1854-1861 Rev. Thomas Bennett 1861-1866 Dr William Fortune 1866-1892 The College grew rapidly. The number of students rose from one in 1842 to 120 in 1846. By 1860 there were over 200 students. In its first 40 years, the College sent over 1000 missionaries to English-speaking countries. The main destinations were the United States of America (420), Australia and New Zealand (250), Britain (190), Canada (60), the West Indies and Argentine (49), India (30) and South Africa (28). Since 1892 All Hallows College has been under the direction of the Vincentians.

This is related to the size of the university, its wide range of subjects, the attractive location and the active pursuit of the internationalisation strategy. Roughly one quarter of students are non-Austrians, almost 1,000 Erasmus students are welcomed and supported at the university each year. Conversely, the university assists the mobility of around 1,000 outgoing students. The University of Vienna accounts for roughly 25% of all outgoing Austrian Erasmus students. In addition, the mobility of over 150 outgoing and over 150 incoming students is admi nis tered within the university’s Non-EU Student Exchange Programme, in which the university also invests considerable funds itself in order to cultivate and develop links with the university world outside the EU. The internationalisation of universities is to be under stood as a multi- level process covering ever broader areas of univer sity activities.

  • What Is Social Enterprise?
    ADDING VALUE DELIVERING CHANGE The Role of Social Enterprise in National Recovery Report of the Social Enterprise Task Force An Initiative of Clann Credo and Dublin Employment Pact www.clanncredo.ie www.dublinpact.ie Foreword Social enterprise has a strong and growing presence in Ireland, building on deep roots of community organisation, self-help and a native enthusiasm for enterprise. This spirit has created formidable and unique organisations such as the GAA, the credit union movement, the Irish Countrywomen’s Association (ICA), Muintir na Tíre, the agricultural co-ops, local development and enterprise organisations, along with a wide range of voluntary and charitable groups, from Rehab to local community-owned initiatives. Despite this, the sector remains relatively under-developed in Ireland and has not grown to anything like the levels enjoyed by EU and global counterparts. We estimate that growth here has only kept pace with inflation over the last 14 years. Social Enterprise needs to grow and put down deeper roots. The social enterprise sector needs to act as one and state its case publicly, in order to create a more favourable public and policy environment that will ensure that it realises its true potential. For these reasons, Clann Credo – the Social Investment Fund and Dublin Employment Pact, took the initiative last year to bring people together to focus specifically on how to promote the concept and the common interests of the sector. The result was the Social Enterprise Task Force (SETF) which set itself the mission of developing a Manifesto that would identify the practical ways in which national and local policy could create a more supportive and receptive framework for social enterprise.

Glass, bishop of Salt Lake City, Utah, from 1915 until 1926, was the last Vincentian to be appointed a bishop in the continen- tal United States and the first since 1868. "How or why a relatively obscure pastor in Los Angeles was given that post is not clear."' If asked how the appointment came about, older Vincentians usually answer "through the influence of the Dohenys."2 It is a natural re- sponse, given Glass's close friendship with the oil baron and his wife. That very closeness, however, presents a difficulty. It is unlikely that Glass or his friends would deliberately seek a post that would remove him from the fleshpots of Chester Place (the Doheny residence in Los Angeles) and exile him to a remote diocese that was geographically the most extensive in the United States and that had a small Catholic population.

Poverty Reduction - A Vincentian Initiative in Higher Education: The All Hallows Experience BY DORRIEBALFE, O.P., MA Director, Social Justice and Public Policy Program AND JOHN JOESPRING, MA, DIP.TH. Vice President, A11 Hallows College Introduction The purpose of this article is to reflect on the experience of addressing poverty reduction in a higher educational environment under a Vincentian administration. All Hallows College, situated in North City Dublin, is such a college. Founded in 1842, the College has been under Vincentian adminis- tration since 1892. Though not Vincentians, both authors of this article have been members of the staff at All Hallows for the past eighteen years. It is in that context that we have experienced the Vincentian charism in action. Our approach here is to set the historical context out of which the present commitment to poverty reduction has grown, to track key moments of change in the past and to describe how a new postgraduate program in Social Justice and Public Policy is addressing such a key moment at present.

    3 ‘Scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd’: the pastoral responses of the Irish churches to emigration1 From an Irish clergyman’s point of view, by far the worst of the iniqui- ties facing migrants was the perceived threat to their faith. While for rhetorical reasons anti-emigration diatribes tended to highlight any wilful oppression – real or imagined – inhibiting the freedom to express one’s religion, it was more mundane limits on the ability to practise it which were of most pressing import. Reports of nativist attacks on churches in the United States, for example, may have prompted ‘gasconade, froth, foam and fury’ in the Irish Catholic press, but the churches that had yet to be built were the real barriers to incoming migrants’ religious participation.2 Immigrants of all denominations and in all rural destinations could find themselves at a considerable remove from the ministrations of their church, while those who migrated to cities might be among thousands of parish- ioners under the auspices of one over-stretched cleric.3 Evidently more clergy were needed, and until a body of ‘native’ ministers could be cultivated – relatively late in the day in many instances – the infant churches of the New World looked to the Old World to supply them. This chapter will explore the elements of this call, the readiness of the home churches to heed it, and the effectiveness of their responses. Before 1815, spiritual efforts on behalf of Irish emigrants were uneven. Although eighteenth-century Presbyterian emigrants were sometimes accompanied by their pastors, the extent of this phenom- enon, as Patrick Griffin has shown, can be exaggerated.4 There were certainly a few ‘cult heroes’ such as James McGregor of Aghadowey, who regarded themselves as leading latter-day Israelites out of oppres- sion and into a land of relative freedom, but, as Kerby Miller has argued, there were also those who admitted to emigrating for essen- tially careerist reasons.

  • On the Structure of Wealth-Holding in Pre-Famine Ireland1 Neil Cummins and Cormac Ó Gráda
    Economic History Working Papers No: 317 On the Structure of Wealth-Holding in Pre-Famine Ireland Neil Cummins, LSE and Cormac Ó Gráda, University College Dublin December 2020 Economic History Department, London School of Economics and Political Science, Houghton Street, London, WC2A 2AE, London, UK. T: +44 (0) 20 7955 7084. On the structure of wealth-holding in pre-Famine Ireland1 Neil Cummins and Cormac Ó Gráda Keywords: inequality, wealth, Ireland JEL: N13, D31 Abstract Very little is known about wealth-holding and its distribution in Ireland in the past. Here we employ death duty register data to analyse and identify a sample of the top wealth holders in Ireland between the early 1820s and late 1830s. We examine the sources of their wealth and its regional spread, and compare them with their British counterparts. We also discuss the share of Catholics and Quakers among top wealth-holders. Introduction It seems safe to say that pre-Famine Ireland was a very unequal society, even by contemporary western European standards. Although in recent decades researchers have drawn attention to a previously ‘hidden Ireland’ of strong farmers and of a Catholic merchant class (e.g. Wall 1958; Whelan 1988; Cullen 2012), the chasm between the relatively small number of landowners who owned virtually all the land and the three million of so rural dwellers who relied almost solely on the potato for subsistence resonates more of serfdom than of industrialising Britain. Still, little is known about the wealth of the elite, and even contemporary Irish critics of wealth inequality in pre-Famine Ireland, such as William Thompson and Feargus O’Connor, had little insight into how great that inequality was (D’Arcy 1994; Large 1966).
