  • Ireland: in Search of Reform for Public Service Media Funding
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Ulster University's Research Portal Ireland: In search of reform for public service media funding Phil Ramsey, Ulster University [email protected] http://ulster.academia.edu/PhilRamsey | http://orcid.org/0000-0001-5873-489X Published as: Ramsey, P. (2018) Ireland: In search of reform for public service media funding. In C. Herzog, H. Hilker, L. Novy and Torun, O. (Eds), Transparency and Funding of Public Service Media: deutsche Debatte im internationalen Kontex (pp.77–90). Wiesbaden: Springer VS. Abstract This chapter discusses public service media (PSM) in Ireland in the context of the recent financial crisis and major demographic changes. It considers some of the factors impacting domestic PSM that are similar to those in other mature media systems in Europe, such as declining funding streams and debates over PSM-funding reform. After introducing the Irish social and political-economic context and providing for a brief historical review of PSM in Ireland, the roles of the domestic PSM organizations RTÉ and TG4 in the Irish media market are discussed. The chapter addresses initial government support for the introduction of a German-style household media fee, a Public Service Broadcasting Charge. While the charge was intended for introduction in 2015, it was later ruled out by the Irish Government in 2016. Ireland: in search of reform for public service media funding Public Service Media (PSM) has a long-tradition in the Republic of Ireland (ROI, hereafter Ireland), dating back to the commencement of the state radio service 2RN in January 1926.1 The state’s involvement in broadcasting later gave way to the main public broadcaster RTÉ, which has broadcast simultaneously on television and radio since New Year’s Eve 1961, and latterly, delivered public service content online.

  • Research on Use of the Irish Language on Radio
    Research on use of the Irish language on radio January 2018 Dr John Walsh, National University of Ireland, Galway Dr Rosemary Day, Mary Immaculate College, University of Limerick 1. Introduction The Irish language has had a role in broadcasting since the establishment of Ireland’s first radio station 2RN in 1926. The founders of the state imagined that radio would play a key role in the development of Irish identity in nation-building (Watson, 2003; Pine, 2002; Day, 2012). Following the consolidation of the existing Dublin and Cork stations in 1933, a national audience could hear programmes in Irish for the first time, due to the introduction of a high-powered transmitter in Athlone. Although a separate service was promised for the Gaeltacht in 1926, a distinct station did not materialise until 1972, with the establishment of Raidió na Gaeltachta (Day, 2012). Some Irish is broadcast on RTÉ’s other radio stations but as a full-time national broadcaster, RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta provides the majority of Irish language radio broadcasts in the country. Following the introduction of the Radio and Television Act of 1988, the pirate stations that had proliferated during the 1970s and 1980s were put off the air and new commercial broadcasters were licensed. Irish was granted only limited recognition in the schedules of these stations that came on air from 1989 onwards. As a result of a campaign by language activists in Dublin, Raidió na Life was established in 1993 as a community of interest service to serve Irish speakers in the capital (Ó Drisceoil, 2007).

This document does not constitute an offer capable of acceptance or a template contract intended to act as a first draft for negotiations. It is a reference document so that third parties seeking wholesale access to DTT multiplexing services (“Market B”) can gain an overview and understanding of the form of agreement they will be required to enter. It is RTÉ’s intention that the majority of its wholesale broadcasting services agreements would be in substantially the same format as this reference document. However individual negotiations may lead to amendments for particular applicants on a case by case basis. For example agreements requiring the roll out of additional network infrastructure or concerns RTÉ may have in relation to the credit worthiness of a particular client may require the satisfaction of certain specific pre-conditions prior to entering into the agreement or the inclusion of any number of provisions within the agreement or its Appendices. The services covered by this WARO are strictly limited to those services necessary to comply with ComReg’s Decision Notice D11/13.

Recognising the many methodologies that make up historical research, the series presents innovative and interdisciplinary work that is conceptual and interpretative, and expands and challenges the common understandings of the Irish past. It showcases new and exciting scholarship on subjects such as the history of gender, power, class, the body, landscape, memory and social and cultural change. It also reflects the diversity of Irish historical writing, since it includes titles that are empirically sophisticated together with conceptually driven synoptic studies. 1.

  • The Impact of Being Wrongly Accused of Abuse in Occupations of Trust: Victims’ Voices
    The Impact of Being Wrongly Accused of Abuse in Occupations of Trust: Victims’ Voices Carolyn Hoyle, Naomi-Ellen Speechley, and Ros Burnett University of Oxford Centre for Criminology The Authors Professor Carolyn Hoyle has expertise on victims in criminal justice and on various aspects of miscarriages of justice. She has recently completed an in-depth study of the Criminal Cases Review Commission (Hoyle and Sato, forthcoming). Naomi-Ellen Speechley was a Research Assistant for Carolyn Hoyle’s study of the Criminal Cases Review Commission, and Lead Researcher for the present project. She was formerly Manager of the Innocence Project at the University of Leeds, and is embarking on a doctorate focused on miscarriages of justice (Speechley, 2013; McCartney and Speechley, 2015). Dr Ros Burnett, formerly a Reader in Criminology, is now a Research Associate at the Centre for Criminology, University of Oxford. She has recently edited a book on wrongful allegations of abuse (Burnett, in press). She is a voluntary research consultant to FACT. Acknowledgements and Declaration The research team is grateful to the research participants for their time and effort in contributing their voices. While the impetus to carry out the study came from a small bequest of £5000 towards research on false allegations, and FACT1 facilitated our access to ‘legally innocent’ participants, the focus, methodology, writing and production of the report and all other aspects of the project have been executed independently from FACT by a team at the Centre for Criminology, University of Oxford, generously funded by the University of Oxford John Fell Fund and the Law Faculty Research Support Fund.
