Bibliography 76 2 Acknowledgements Having under taken to study initially for a Diploma and now towards a Masters Degree in Local History at Maynooth College, it was necessary to undertake a project, but what project? What topic? In several conversations over the years with friends of my father I was always struck by their reactions when the ‘Clongorey Evictions’ of the 1880s were spoken of. The pain of the memory passed down was reminiscent to that described during commemoration of the one hundred and fifty, anniversary of the famine. Exploring other projects, the ‘Clongorey Evictions’ kept drawing me back. Setting out on this journey I did not know what to expect. Not being a native of Clongorey how would I be treated digging around in their history, and could I do justice to the peoples memory? What I was not prepared for was the extent to which the events in Clongorey mirrored events nationally while still remaining in many ways unique.

This review was undertaken in the context of a wider review taking place on the operation and implementation of the Competition Act 2002. 1.2 The Group was asked to examine the provisions of the Competition Act 2002 in relation to media mergers and in particular the “relevant criteria” specified in the Act, by reference to which the Minister currently considers media mergers. 1.3 The Terms of Reference of the Group were:- To review and to consider the current levels of plurality and diversity in the media sector in Ireland. To examine and review the “relevant criteria” as currently defined in the Act. To examine and consider how the application of the “relevant criteria” should be given effect and by whom. To examine the role of the Minister in assessing the “relevant criteria” from a public interest perspective and the best mechanism to do so. To examine international best practice, including the applicability of models from other countries. To make recommendations, as appropriate, on the above. 2 1.4 The membership of the Group comprised:- Paul Sreenan S.C. (Chairman) Dr. Olive Braiden. Peter Cassells Marc Coleman John Herlihy Prof.
