If you think about the nature of the housing market today, the contradiction between the basic need for somewhere to live and the unnatural desire for bloated wealth screams out at you. Homes have become a key part of our commodified economy-so much so that business is reliant on the housing market for growth, and property-buying as an investment device (or tax dodge) by those who do not need family homes and makes life more difficult for young people who actually want to live in one. There are many ways in which housing issues show how alienation applies today. Humans are alienated from product. New houses are more about look than practical living, let alone green concerns. The very design of homes is more to do with the case of production than with the needs of people. Rooms are too small, and the construction is flimsy. Our housing estates have become alienated from the natural world by the casual disregard for wildlife, where the sun sets, what prevailing winds there are, gardens for pleasure, tarmac or gravel on front gardens instead of grass. We build houses on every new brownfield site, so that old factories become housing estates, leaking toxicity everywhere. We have both urban sprawl and isolated rural communities. Housing estates usually lack necessary community provision except a pub, if you’re lucky and an off-licence where the kids hang out. We become alienated from other people when private estates demand walls against social housing, or when architects plan roads so that some housing is in cul-de-sacs and others become rat-runs. We even become alienated from ourselves, when we are wealthy and demand fortified boundaries, lights, alarms, and a no man’s land between ourselves and others. In a socialist society housing would become more a right than an obligation. The home would become less of a commodity. We would see unused big houses divided sensitively into decent flats, with a range of bedroom options from one to many. Rents would be controlled, set at a suitable recognised proportion of income, and ensuring adherence to rights and responsibilities on both sides. Buying a home would need to be within a controlled market with local authorities supplying it. Perhaps in suburban and rural communities, we would see more detached houses in democratically managed living spaces. Devolving the powers and funding of local authorities serving hundreds of thousands of people to smaller communities of a thousand or so would lead to the popular management of communal local services such as crèches, a local lending library, a community hall, and sports centre.

  • The Kent Family & Cork's Rising Experience
    The Kent Family & Cork’s Rising Experience By Mark Duncan In the telling of the Easter 1916 story, Cork appears only the margins. The reasons for this are not too hard to comprehend. Here was a county that had thought about mounting insurrection, then thought better of it. This failure to mobilise left an unpleasant aftertaste, becoming, for some at least, a source of abiding regret which bordered on embarrassment. It left behind it, Liam de Roiste, the Gaelic scholar and then leading local Irish Volunteer, wistfully recalled, a trail of ‘heart burning, disappointments, and some bitter feelings. The hour had come and we, in Cork, had done nothing.’1 In the circumstances, the decision to remain inactive – encouraged by the intervention by local bishop Daniel Colohan and Cork City Lord Mayor W. T. Butterfield - was an understandable one, wise even in view of the failed landing of German arms on board the Aud and the confusion created by the countermanding order of Eoin Mac Neill which delayed for a day, and altered completely, the character of the Rising that eventually took place.2 In any case, with Dublin planned as the operational focus of the Rising, Cork was hardly alone in remaining remote from the fray. Yes, trouble flared in Galway, in Enniscorthy, Co. Wexford and in Ashbourne, Co. Meath, but so few were these locations and so limited was the fighting that it served only to underline the failure of the insurgents to ignite a wider rebellion across provincial Ireland. For much of the country, the Rising of 1916 was experienced only in the heavy-handed and occasionally brutal backlash to it.

ORIGINAL 1737 STATEMENT BY SEAMUS FITZGERALD, "Carrigbeg". Summerhill. Cork. On the inauguration of the Irish Volunteer movement in Dublin on November 25th 1913, I was one of a small group of Cobh Gaelic Leaguers who decided to form a unit. This was done early in l9l4, and at the outbreak of the 1914. War Cobh had over 500 Volunteers organised into six companies, and I became Assistant Secretary to the Cobh Volunteer Executive at the age of 17 years. When the split occurred in the Irish Volunteer movement after John Redmond's Woodenbridge recruiting speech for the British Army - on September 20th 1914. - I took my stand with Eoin MacNeill's Irish Volunteers and, with about twenty others, continued as a member of the Cobh unit. The great majority of the six companies elected, at a mass meeting in the Baths Hall, Cobh, to support John Redmond's Irish National Volunteers and give support to Britain's war effort. The political feelings of the people and their leaders at this tint, and the events which led to this position in Cobh, so simply expressed in the foregoing paragraphs, and which position was of a like pattern throughout the country, have been given in the writings of Stephen Gwynn, Colonel Maurice Moore, Bulmer Hobson, P.S.

  • Easter Rising Heroes 1916
    Cead mile Failte to the 3rd in a series of 1916 Commemorations sponsored by the LAOH and INA of Cleveland. Tonight we honor all the Men and Women who had a role in the Easter 1916 Rising whether in the planning or active participation.Irish America has always had a very important role in striving for Irish Freedom. I would like to share a quote from George Washington "May the God in Heaven, in His justice and mercy, grant thee more prosperous fortunes and in His own time, cause the sun of Freedom to shed its benign radiance on the Emerald Isle." 1915-1916 was that time. On the death of O'Donovan Rossa on June 29, 1915 Thomas Clarke instructed John Devoy to make arrangements to bring the Fenian back home. I am proud that Ellen Ryan Jolly the National President of the LAAOH served as an Honorary Pallbearer the only woman at the Funeral held in New York. On August 1 at Glasnevin the famous oration of Padraic Pearse was held at the graveside. We choose this week for this presentation because it was midway between these two historic events as well as being the Anniversary week of Constance Markeivicz death on July 15,1927. She was condemned to death in 1916 but as a woman her sentence was changed to prison for life. And so we remember those executed. We remember them in their own words and the remembrances of others. Sixteen Dead Men by WB Yeats O but we talked at large before The Sixteen men were shot But who can talk of give and take, What should be and what not While those dead men are loitering there To stir the boiling pot?

  • Pds-Family-Bulletin-Sept-2020
    Cork Kerry Community Healthcare Progressing Disability Services (PDS) for Children & Young People (0-18 Years) FAMILY BULLETIN September 2020 The ‘Progressing Services for Children and Young People’ Programme aims to achieve a national unified approach to delivering children’s disability health services. The central focus of this programme is to provide a clear pathway to services regardless of where a child lives, goes to school, or the nature of their disability or delay. At present there are some very good services for children with disabilities and their families but also some large gaps. There may be a service for children with a physical disability in a locality, but none for children with an intellectual disability. Some children and their families have little or no access to services. We need a fairer way to provide services for children with disabilities Access to services should be based on a child’s needs rather than just on their diagnosis Children and families should have services available wherever they live Some children may have their needs supported by their local Primary Care services. A Children’s Disability Network Team will support children with more complex needs in a defined geographic area, regardless of the nature of their disability. A national programme called ‘Progressing Disability Services for Children & Young People’ is changing the way services are provided across the country to make it equitable and consistent for all. This is the first in a series of regular bulletins, which will keep you informed of the HSE’s National Programme Progressing Disability Services for Children and Young People, changes that will occur within children’s disability services in the Cork area and how this might impact you and your child.
