  • The Status and Roles Assigned Female Personnel in the Permanent Defence Forces
    Dublin City University Women in Combat: The status and roles assigned female personnel in the Permanent Defence Forces. Thesis submitted to the School of Applied Language and Intercultural Studies for the degree of Ph.D August 2000 Thomas Martin Clonan B.Ed. M.A.C.C.S. Supervisor: Dr. Maggie Gibbon I hereby certify that this material, which I now submit for assessment on the programme of study leading to the award of Ph. D. is entirely my own work and has not been taken from the work of others save and to the extent that such work has been cited and acknowledged within the text of my work. SIGNED: ID No. 96970499 DATE: 01 August 2000. ABSTRACT Women in Combat: The Status and Roles Assigned Female Personnel in the Permanent Defence Forces (PDF). The aim of the PhD study is to examine critically the integration of female personnel within the Permanent Defence Forces (PDF). Their integration is examined in light of the deployment of women in the international military, and in light of a liberal-feminist examination of the workplace in terms of its equality of opportunity agenda. It is argued that the sex-role stereotyping used to recruit young men in to the military in the past along with socio-biological theories of women’s and men’s appropriate spheres of activity have combined to disempower women within military culture, i.e; women’s involvement represents a threat to the constructed masculinity the military embodies. Despite the persistence of patriarchal culture within the sphere of the military, there has been an unprecedented growth in the numbers of women within the military in the west due to the demands of modem total and technological warfare.

  • Doing Policing
    DOING POLICING OFFICER 1 My first station was Ballymena. Ballymena in the 1960s was a thriving town, industrious with a thriving farming community around it. ‘The Troubles’ of the 1950s and early 60s, which was mainly confined to a Border Campaign, had ended. So, it was a very nice time in Ballymena with Showbands and Ballrooms for a young man to enjoy. I really enjoyed that, and I went to do duty in Portrush, for two summer seasons to supplement the local police down there; Portrush in those days was the holiday Mecca of the country. I met William Martin, the Sergeant there, who was the author of the ‘Black Manual’ or ‘Code’ (RUC Code of Conduct) which we had to study. He had lots of legal books around his office, when he found out I had passed the Sergeants Exam he brought me in and treated me as an’ Assistant Sergeant’. He actually allowed me to stand in for him one or two days when he was off, much to the chagrin of the older men who had been there a lifetime. The community got on well with us they wanted to help us and the holiday visitors wanted their photograph taken with us. I remember one occasion I was on mobile patrol in a 2 door Ford Anglia car, to get into the back you had to pull forward the front seat. I got a call to deal with a ‘Simple Drunk’ causing annoyance on the Main Street, I went round, and there he was showing all the signs of a drunk man but doing no real harm.

  • October 2014
    Consultation Document Future Provision of Hospital Services for Older People Consultation from 12th June 2014 until Friday 31st October 2014 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Trust is committed to supporting older people to live as long as possible in their own homes, living independent lives and being able to choose how their needs are met. We are now caring for more older people at home with the support of a range of community teams and services and making best use of the latest technology. We want to ensure that when older people do need hospital care, that they are able to quickly access care in a hospital environment that is high quality, delivered in an appropriate setting by a team of compassionate, respectful and expert health professionals with access to all the necessary diagnostics, specialist knowledge and treatment. Currently, the Trust provides hospital care for older people at Craigavon Area Hospital, Daisy Hill Hospital, Lurgan Hospital and Loane House (South Tyrone Hospital). Patients admitted to Craigavon or Daisy Hill will have the support of teams of specialist staff; access to a range of diagnostic services; and have 24 hour pharmacy and laboratory support available. In Lurgan Hospital and Loane House, which are small stand- alone units, there is not the same immediate access to all of these services. This means that if a patient’s condition deteriorates they have to be transferred from these hospitals, usually to Craigavon Area Hospital, for assessment, diagnostics and treatment which can be distressing and upsetting for older patients and their families. It is also becoming increasingly difficult to maintain the right level of medical cover at evenings and weekends at Lurgan and Loane House.
