The literature on bimusicality addresses how it has evolved in various social and educational contexts. This research focuses on the bimusical learning processes and practices of students, aged sixteen to twenty years, as they cross between the different learning modes associated with these two musical traditions in an Irish context. This qualitative study adopts a collective case study approach, using a purposive sampling strategy. Data collected include: videotaped lessons, recorded practice/playing sessions, observations of a range of music-making activities, and interviews with the participants, their parents and teachers.

DEFENDING BLASPHEMY:EXPLORING RELIGIOUS EXPRESSION UNDER IRELAND’S BLASPHEMY LAW Katherine A.E. Jacob* This Note considers the blasphemy provisions of Ireland’s Act and examines the Act’s limitations on religious expression. By analyzing the effects of religious expression’s omission from the Act’s protection, this Note argues that enforcement under the Act may be impermissible under both Bunreacht na hÉireann and international law. To rectify the Act’s failure to defend religious expression, this Note proposes that the Act be amended to permit religious expression as a defense for blasphemy. It then applies the proposed defense to examples of speech that otherwise might run afoul under the Act. I.

    Independent Productions Annual Report 2019 CONTENTS Introduction 2 The Year in Review: – Television 4 – Radio 16 Other Funding 19 Other Support Activities 20 Corporate Governance 20 Financial and Commissioning Review 21 Independent Accountants’ Report 24 Schedules 25 RTÉ INDEPENDENT PRODUCTIONS ANNUAL REPORT 2019 1 INTRODUCTION RTÉ’s engagement with its audience is framed by the quality of its programming across all platforms. The Irish independent sector provides much of this high-quality, distinctively Irish content across all the key genres, from drama and comedy to documentaries, entertainment and children’s programmes. This programming is a cornerstone of what distinguishes RTÉ from the plethora of international content available to most Irish people. 2019 was another strong year which featured outstanding examples in all categories. From the unique format and talent of The Tommy Tiernan Show, to the groundbreaking Raised by the Village, to the sensitive and expertly handled Brendan Grace – Thanks for the Memories and the biting satire of Callan’s Kicks, the Irish independent sector delivered programming that engaged, entertained and moved audiences. 2 Under the Broadcasting Act 2009, RTÉ has a statutory obligation to spend a predetermined minimum amount every year on independently produced television and radio programmes. RTÉ continues to invest more in commissioned programmes than is required. This amount is lodged to a separate bank account, the Independent Programmes account. Part of RTÉ’s obligation under the Broadcasting Act is to issue a report on that account. This report outlines how the funding in the account was used in 2019. The statutory amount RTÉ was required to spend in 2019 was €39.9m (2018: €39.7m).
