Types of Higher Education Institutions Published on Eurydice (https://eacea.ec.europa.eu/national-policies/eurydice) Types of Higher Education Institutions Ireland’s higher education system is principally a binary system with universities and institutes of technology. In 1997, the Universities Act was passed, the most significant piece of university legislation since the State was founded. For all seven universities in the State, the Act set out the objects and functions of a university, the structure and role of governing bodies, staffing arrangements, composition and role of academic councils and sections relating to property, finance and reporting. The governing authorities are required to see that strategic development plans are in place, and that procedures for evaluating teaching and research are in place. The HEA has an overseeing role on such plans and quality assurance procedures. The legislative framework preserves the academic freedom of the universities and respects the diverse traditions and institutional autonomy of each university. The Institutes of Technology Act, 2006, creates a similar relationship between the Institutes and the HEA as that between the HEA and the universities. It provides for greater institutional autonomy, improved governance and a statutory guarantee of academic freedom for the IoTs. University Tertiary Education There are seven State-supported universities in Ireland. The National University of Ireland has four constituent universities at Dublin, Cork, Galway and Maynooth which are largely independent under the Universities Act of 1997. The University of Dublin with its single college, Trinity College, is the oldest established university (1592). The other two established universities are the University of Limerick and Dublin City University. St. Patrick's College Maynooth is a small Pontifical University recognised by the Vatican. It confers degrees in Canon Law, Philosophy and Theology. University College Dublin [1] (UCD) University College Cork [2] (UCC) National University of Ireland Galway [3] (NUIG) National University of Ireland Maynooth [4] (NUIM) Trinity College Dublin [5] (TCD) University of Limerick [6] (UL) Dublin City University [7] (DCU) Recognised Colleges of the National University of Ireland: Institute of Public Administration [8] National College of Art and Design [9] (NCAD) Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland [10] (RCSI) Shannon College of Hotel Management [11] Milltown Institute of Philosophy and Theology [12] Non-University Higher Education During the 1960s Ireland built up a strong binary higher education system. Since that time the non- university sector has grown and is regarded as being highly successful. There are now 14 Institutes of Technology (IoTs), including the Dublin Institute of Technology (DIT), located throughout the country. The other Institutes of Technology are located in Athlone, Carlow, Cork, Dundalk, Galway-Mayo, Letterkenny, Limerick, Sligo, Tallaght, Tralee, Waterford, Blanchardstown and Dun Laoghaire. Most of these Institutes evolved from Regional Technical Colleges, having been awarded their new titles in 1998. The institutes provide a comprehensive range of courses including craft and apprentice programmes, higher technical and technological education through two-year Higher Certificate, three-year Ordinary Bachelor Degree, and four-year Honours Bachelor Degrees. The institutes also provide a range of postgraduate programmes at Postgraduate Diploma, Master’s, and Doctoral level. The programmes of study offered in some institutions may include a period of work outside the institution as part of the course of study. The institutes also play an important role in providing for recurrent educational needs by way of part-time and evening courses, as well as catering for continuing professional education. Details of all courses in Higher Education appear in the EU Student Handbook. No formal distinctions exist regarding qualifications from the non-university and the university sectors. Ordinary Bachelor Degrees in both universities and IoTs are awarded at Level 7 in the National Qualifications Framework, while Honours Bachelor Degrees are awarded at Level 8. The full-time students in the Institutes of Technology by main fields of study in 2011/12 were proportioned as follows: Social Science, Business and Law 26.3%, Humanities and Arts 11.1%, Engineering, Manufacturing and Construction 18.7%, Science 15.9%, Health and Welfare 13.9%, Services 11.4% and other 2.7%. The proportion of full-time students at the different course levels was: Diploma and Higher Certificate (Level 6) 8.5%; Ordinary Degree (Level 7) 36.3%; Honours Degree (Level 8) 51.1%; postgraduate (Levels 9 and 10) 4.1%. Institutes of Technology: Dublin Institute of Technology [13] (DIT) Athlone Institute of Technology [14] (AIT) Dundalk Institute of Technology [15] (DKIT) Dun Laoghaire of Art, Design and Technology [16] (DLIADT) Cork Institute of Technology [17] (CIT) Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology [18] (GMIT) Institute of Technology Blanchardstown [19] (ITB) Institute of Technology Carlow [20] (ITC) Institute of Technology Sligo [21] (ITS) Institute of Technology Tallaght [22] (ITT) Institute of Technology Tralee [23] (ITT) Letterkenny Institute of Technology [24] (LIT) Limerick Institute of Technology [25] (LIT) Waterford Institute of Technology [26] (WIT) Key Differences between University Higher and Non-University Higher Education Student Profile and Programme Levels Although most IoTs have delegated authority to award up to Level 10 PhD, in practice the student profile shows that the majority of students are undergraduates In 2011/12, the proportion of undergraduate students in the institute of technology sector was 94% undergraduate to 6% postgraduate. In the university sector, the picture was different with 75% undergraduate and 25% postgraduate students. Research Activity Although research funding in Ireland is competitively awarded and is open to State funded higher education and research institutions to apply - in practice the majority of research activity and funding goes to the university sector, with 98% of Science Foundation Ireland funding, 80% of research infrastructure funding and 95% of research council scholarships going to fund research activities in universities. The majority of research funding is channelled through agencies from the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation. The more applied research funding connected to enterprise and regions is channelled through Enterprise Ireland and institutes of technology engage more in this type of activity. Governance and Autonomy Although legislation in 2006 transferred the institutes of technology to the remit of the Higher Education Authority and ceded greater autonomy to these institutions, governing boards are still approved by the Minister with the Chairs nominated and appointed by the Minister for Education and Skills. Awards Each institute of technology, following agreement of its quality assurance procedures with Quality and Qualifications Ireland (QQI) validates its own programmes. Additionally each institute, under delegated authority, under the Qualifications and Training Act, 1999, grants its own awards. Most IoTs have delegated awarding powers up to Level 9 (Masters) on the National Framework of Qualifications (NFQ) and about half of them have delegated awarding powers up to Level 10 (Doctorate). PhD degrees for the remainder are granted by QQI. Only the Dublin Institute of Technology has similar powers to the universities which have full authority to devise and conduct their own examinations and to confer academic awards. Other Higher Level Education Colleges of Education Colleges of Education are devoted predominantly to teacher education of primary and post-primary teachers although, in recent years, some of the colleges offer general degrees and postgraduate studies. The colleges are privately owned, but state-supported. All of the colleges of education are closely linked to universities either as Recognised Colleges or as Associated Colleges. Accordingly, their academic and quality assurance procedures come within the university framework and follow its patterns. These colleges benefit from State support and free student undergraduate fees. Their academic awards are made by the relevant university. Their governing, management and staffing procedures are university-approved. DCU Institute of Education [27] Mary Immaculate College, Limerick [28] Froebel College of Education [29] Marino Institute of Education [30] (MIE) St. Angela’s College of Education, Sligo [31] Institutes Linked to Public Service Careers The Institute of Public Administration is the national centre for development of best practice in public administration and public management. The Institute offers services in education, training, research and publications. The Whitaker School of Government & Management at the IPA contains the education and research activities. The IPA is a recognised college of the National University of Ireland and offers accredited programmes at certificate, diploma, degree, higher diploma, masters and doctoral level. There are undergraduate degrees in Arts and Business Studies and at postgraduate level there are Master of Arts and Master of Economic Science degrees. The Doctorate in Governance programme is jointly offered with Queens University Belfast. The programmes are available by lecture or through distance education.

    “Oval forms occur in the natural world and are found in cells, pollen grains, seeds, eggs and skulls. These have structures that have evolved to contain matter and provide protection. My hollow sculpted forms explore the theme of containment. Constructed walls form a ‘taut membrane’, which is pierced and made permeable. Intricacy of surface detail is counterbalanced by Duo, 2016 the simplicity of the ovoid form.” Ceramic stoneware, 17 H x 40 W x 27 D cm Frances Lambe Ireland b. 1961 Frances Lambe studied at the National College of Art and Design in Dublin. She works with a variety of different clays from terracotta through to white stoneware and porcelain. Frances usually leaves her work unglazed except for the occasional application of oxides. A hallmark of her work is the delicate finish, she pays particular attention to ensure that surface texture unites with form. Her source of inspiration is the natural world, in particular the sea. Her ceramic forms describe an underwater world, the sphere, the oval and undulating forms are recurring themes. Their purity of form recalls stones that have been polished by the movement of water and sand. Frances’ work is in public and private collections including the National Museum of Ireland, the Department of Foreign Affairs of Ireland, the Office of Public Works, and the National Museum of Northern Ireland.

  • Urgent and Emergency Care Provision in Ireland
    Urgent and emergency care provision in Ireland What is urgent and emergency care? Urgent and emergency care consists of all the services which contribute to the management of people when immediate care is sought for a health condition along with the processes in place for referring patients between services. When patients need immediate care they can enter the health system through a range of services and will often use more than one. Ideally these services would be highly co-ordinated to ensure the time to definitive care is reduced and waste such as inappropriate use of emergency departments is avoided. Current provision in Ireland A wide range of services, public and private, provide emergency and urgent care in Ireland. The services within the emergency and urgent care system (EUCS) include General Practice (GP) (including out-of-hours GP co-operatives), emergency departments (EDs), urgent care centres, acute medical units (AMUs), minor injury units, ambulance services (provided by Dublin Fire Brigade and the National Ambulance Service), and pharmacies. When patients need immediate care, they can enter the health system through a range of services and will often use more than one in a single episode of illness. For example, they may phone an out-of-hours GP, be transferred by ambulance to an ED and be admitted to hospital. The combination of these services are defined as an EUCS. The provision of effective emergency and urgent care is critically dependent on all elements of the EUCS of a healthcare system (figure 1). A well-performing EUCS should improve the chances of survival in a patient with an emergency condition and an urgent condition should ideally be managed by a well- performing EUCS without admission to an inpatient bed.

  • Dundalk's Integrated Development Strategy – Ireland Dundalk's
    Dundalk's integrated development strategy – Ireland Dundalk's integrated development strategy – Ireland 1 (by Declan Murphy, Ireland) Description of the approach (aims, delivery, budget etc) Dundalk is on the east coast of Ireland, midway between the two main urban centres on the island, 80 Kms from Belfast in Northern Ireland (UK) and from Dublin in the Republic of Ireland. It is the local government centre for County Louth, a county with mixed agriculture, industry and tourism as main economic activities. The town population has grown from 25,000 in the 1970s to 32,000 in 2005 and is projected to double to 60,000 people by 2020. Historically Dundalk had a strong commercial base with industry in footwear (6,000 employed in the 1960s), textiles, cigarettes, brewing, and engineering. The demise of traditional industries and Dundalk’s geographic location on the border (its natural hinterland to the north is in the UK) have posed development challenges. This was exacerbated by poor infrastructure. Dundalk today is designated as a ‘gateway’ for development under the “National Spatial Strategy for Ireland 2002 – 2020, People, Places and Potential”, which emphasises devolved development. Each county has been encouraged to develop a 10 year vision based on wide consultation, research and visioning. In addition Dundalk has undertaken its own assessment of Dundalk as a place to invest, live, work and visit as the basis for developing an economic development plan up to 2010. National policy in the promotion of entrepreneurship and SMEs is the responsibility of the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment in Ireland. It delegates responsibility for implementing its policies to state agencies.

This is split into the following sections: ● A Profile ● The Investigation ● New Evidence ● Summary ● Case update January 1999 A Profile On the 1st May 1976, Seamus Ludlow returned from work at 1.15p.m. It was a lovely sunny day on a Saturday afternoon. Seamus was employed by Mr. Danny Philips, Timber Merchant, in Ravensdale, Co. Louth. His brother-in-law, Tommy Fox, also worked there as a tree feller. Both men got on very well with each other and enjoyed a bit of 'craic'. Seamus cleaned himself up and headed for Dundalk at about 3.00p.m. which was his customary routine on a Saturday afternoon, where he would enjoy a few pints and play a few games of darts and rings with his friends, frequenting two or three pubs in the town. It was known he drank in the Lisdoo Arms Pub. Leaving at about 11.30p.m. to hitch a lift home to his home at Thistle Cross, Mountpleasant, he was spotted by a number of people hitching a lift between the Lisdoo Arms and Smith's Garage on the Newry Road. Sometime between 11.40p.m. and 12.30a.m. a strange car with strange men stopped and gave him a lift. The journey to his home would have taken 8- 10 minutes, depending on the traffic, Seamus never returned home.

  • The Technological University in Ireland, Leading by Example
    The Technological University in Ireland, Polytechnic Summit Leading by Example UTEC Lima, Peru June 2018 Mark Deegan [email protected] Dublin Institute of Technology, Ireland Abstract In April 2018, Dublin Institute of Technology, the Institute of Technology Tallaght and the Institute of Technology Blanchardstown, applied for designation as a Technological University. If successful, this would create Ireland’s first Technological University. This presents an opportunity to define the meaning of a Technological University in Ireland. It presents an opportunity to develop education modes that present alternatives to the one-size-fits-all model of academic provision that has defined the sector since the establishment of the state. This paper explores the opportunities to embed work-based learning and skills training as a core part of the new style of University in Ireland.

  • Plantation of Ulster Implementation
    theme 1 Implementation Plantation Underway As the fleeing Gaelic Earls were expected to return with foreign armies to reclaim their lands, time was of the essence and planning for the Plantation quickly got under way. Originally Sir Arthur Chichester, the Lord Deputy of Ireland, had only intended a small scale Protestant settlement, but Sir Cahir O’Doherty’s rebellion in 1608 changed this. The Crown decided to take more extreme measures and settle six of the nine counties of Ulster; Donegal, Tyrone, Coleraine, Cavan, Fermanagh and Armagh. Parts of counties Down and Antrim had already been settled by a large number of Presbyterian lowland Scots under the private plantation undertaken by Hugh Montgomery and James Hamilton in 1606. A further 300 Scottish Presbyterian families had been settled by Randal MacSorley MacDonnell on his lands in Antrim in 1607. Design The design for the Plantation, consisting of almost four million acres of land, was endorsed by King James I in April 1610. Confiscated lands were carved up into precincts, which were further subdivided into estates of 2,500, 1,500 and 1,000 acres. Land was granted to three distinct groups, Undertakers, who were English and Scottish landowners, the Servitors, comprised of career soldiers such as Sir Arthur Chichester, Sir John Davies and Sir James Ley, and approximately two hundred ‘deserving’ Native Irish who had fought for the English in the Nine Years War. Strict conditions detailed the responsibilities of the grantees. A castle was to be built on the largest estates, a smaller fortified stone house or Bawn was to be constructed on medium sized estates, a market town and at least one free school were to be established in each county, and planned villages of the ‘English type’ were to be created across the planted region.
