Ladies and Gentlemen, It's a pleasure to be addressing you here today, on the fifth day of my ten-day tour of your beautiful country. I’ve already had the great experience of visiting several museums and I look forward to visiting more in the next few days - for example the Nyungue Forest Reserve and Akagera National Park. I've been the Head (or ‘Provost’ as we call it) of Trinity College Dublin, Ireland’s oldest university, for a year now. And in the course of this year, I’ve paid visits to universities around the world, including Moscow and California, but these have been flying visits for a day or two. This is my longest official visit, to date, to a university and to a country. It is, for me, the culmination of a long-expressed desire to learn more about Africa. And to visit the National University of Rwanda, with which Trinity has such an important link through the Masters in Development Practice programme. I thank Dr Padraig Carmody and Professor Herman Musahara, and others who helped put the itinerary together. I would like to take this opportunity also to thank the Rector most warmly for his hospitality, and for this opportunity to address you today. When I was standing for election as Provost in Trinity, I made a commitment to support Trinity’s partnerships with universities and institutes of higher education in Africa. Developing such partnerships is a key element of Trinity’s new Global Relations Strategy, and of the Trinity International Development Initiative. Last year our two universities signed a Memorandum of Understanding in the context of our joint Masters programme. This enables our postgrad students to undertake training programmes and field work here in Rwanda. I know that our students - and 'our' in the sense of joint Trinity/UCD MDP students hosted by NUR - are currently doing their internships in, for example, Akagera National Park, Volcano National Park, the Gender Monitoring Organisation, and Mayange Mellenium Village. I hope that, in the 1 coming years, we can deepen the teaching and research links between our two institutions. As I say, it’s a very great pleasure for me to be visiting now and observing how our partnership is developing. The given title of today’s talk is ‘Biotechnology and national transformation: the role of Universities’. Biotechnology is, according to its dictionary definition: “The application of scientific and technical advances in life sciences to make commercial products”. As such it’s a key growth area for universities, but I want to slightly expand today’s talk because I don’t just want to talk about life sciences but about science and technology in general. So my talk could have a broader title, something like “Science, Technology, Commercialisation and the Role of Universities”. In short I want to address, as best I can, the very topical subject of innovation, entrepreneurship, and the nature of research and scholarship in a contemporary university - in universities, like both of ours, that are acting “in the public service” or “in Education and Service to the People” as NUR has in its motto. Today, in universities around the world, staff and students are asked to think about using their research to serve society, whether it be through policy research or through directly contributing to economic growth. Academic staff, together with postgraduate students and post-docs, are forming campus companies, and even undergraduates are starting to think about applying ideas commercially. This level of engagement wasn’t happening when I was a student in the 1980’s. Universities then weren’t so linked in with the local or global economy; the biggest change since my student days is this emphasis on innovation and entrepreneurship. So it is a really important and dynamic area, and one we must consider alongside the core mission in education and research. IRELAND AND TRINITY: SOME CONTEXTUAL COMMENTS But first I should tell you a bit about myself, and about my country, Ireland, and about my university, Trinity.

A neo-Assyrian relief in the Weingreen Museum of Biblical Antiquities, Trinity College Dublin*a case study in artefact acquisition AMANDA KELLY* Classics Department, National University of Ireland, Galway [Accepted 7 September 2010. Published 14 October 2011.] Abstract The focus of this paper is a neo-Assyrian relief discovered in the Weingreen Museum of Biblical Antiquities at Trinity College Dublin (hereafter the Weingreen Museum). The shallow relief depicts a pictorial vignette of a kneeling genie, rendered in profile, facing a tree of life, on a horizon formed by a cuneiform border (WM 1189). Details surrounding the relief’s acquisition were completely unknown to Trinity College Dublin staff during 2008Á9. This investigation follows a paper trail which illuminates the circumstances behind its procurement and subsequent journey from Iraq to Dublin in the Victorian period.

  • Genre and Identity in British and Irish National Histories, 1541-1691
    “NO ROOM IN HISTORY”: GENRE AND IDENTIY IN BRITISH AND IRISH NATIONAL HISTORIES, 1541-1691 A dissertation presented by Sarah Elizabeth Connell to The Department of English In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the field of English Northeastern University Boston, Massachusetts April 2014 1 “NO ROOM IN HISTORY”: GENRE AND IDENTIY IN BRITISH AND IRISH NATIONAL HISTORIES, 1541-1691 by Sarah Elizabeth Connell ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English in the College of Social Sciences and Humanities of Northeastern University April 2014 2 ABSTRACT In this project, I build on the scholarship that has challenged the historiographic revolution model to question the valorization of the early modern humanist narrative history’s sophistication and historiographic advancement in direct relation to its concerted efforts to shed the purportedly pious, credulous, and naïve materials and methods of medieval history. As I demonstrate, the methodologies available to early modern historians, many of which were developed by medieval chroniclers, were extraordinary flexible, able to meet a large number of scholarly and political needs. I argue that many early modern historians worked with medieval texts and genres not because they had yet to learn more sophisticated models for representing the past, but rather because one of the most effective ways that these writers dealt with the political and religious exigencies of their times was by adapting the practices, genres, and materials of medieval history. I demonstrate that the early modern national history was capable of supporting multiple genres and reading modes; in fact, many of these histories reflect their authors’ conviction that authentic past narratives required genres with varying levels of facticity.

  • 10Th Annual Report, 2005
    BRITISH-IRISH INTER-PARLIAMENTARY BODY COMHLACHT IDIR-PHARLAIMINTEACH NA BREATAINE AGUS NA hÉIREANN TENTH ANNUAL REPORT No. 118 — March 2005 THE WORK OF THE BRITISH-IRISH INTER-PARLIAMENTARY BODY Introduction 1. This is the Tenth Annual Report of the Body since it was decided at the 11th Plenary Session in May 1996 that such a Report should be made. This Report summarises the work of the Body during 2005. Membership of the Body 2. The General Election in the United Kingdom in May resulted in a number of changes to the British delegation, the most significant of which was the replacement of Mr David Winnick, MP as Co-Chair by Mr Paul Murphy, MP. Mr Winnick had announced at the Bundoran Plenary session that he would leave the Body, although he was not standing down from the House of Commons. Lord Dubs replaced Mr Kevin McNamara (who left the House of Commons) on the Steering Committee. Mr John Hume of the SDLP also retired from the Commons at the General Election and his presence is much missed. Other notable departures were those of Mr Harry Barnes and Mr William O'Brien. The other changes to the British Delegation can be found in Appendix 1. Hon Tony Brown MHK succeeded Mr Donald Gelling, who has again become Chief Minister of the Isle of Man. The Body expressed its congratulations to Mr Gelling. Political Developments 3. The Northern Ireland Executive and Assembly remained suspended throughout 2005. During the year, the two Governments continued their efforts to move the process forward and to restore the devolved power- sharing institutions.

McGraw 2002 All rights reserved No part of this publication may be reproduced, stored in or introduced into a retrieval system, or transmitted, in any form or by any means (electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording or otherwise), without prior written permission of the copyright owner. 2 Cover: The picture on the front cover was taken from the rear of the main lodge of the Labrador Mountain Ski Lodge facing in a northeasterly direction. It was probably taken in the last few years. The lodge itself is located across the road from a small cemetery that is marked by a cross on the 1876 map of Truxton below. The road running north and south, passing by the front of the lodge and extending left and right through the center of the picture, is the North Road. Following this road, also known as Route 91, to the right leads into the village of Truxton about 2 miles south of this location. The significance of this location is that the McGraws and many of their friends and relatives lived in this immediate area. Michael McGraw’s farm on the North Road was located one mile south and across the road from his farm was the John Casey farm. The region out in the flat area over the silo to the left was where John McGraw, Michael’s brother, was living in 1883. His neighbor moving south was Patrick Comerford, brother of his wife Ellen Comerford McGraw.

Thompson: The High Church Tradition in Ireland, 1800-1870, with particular reference to John Jebb and Alexander Knox. (Thesis for the M.A. Degree, 1992) ABSTRACT This is a critical enquiry into the widely held belief that the doctrines of pre-Tractarian High Church Anglicanism have exercised a specially tena• cious hold on the Church of Ireland. Chapter 1 surveys the tradition as developed in the 17th and 18th centuries, but also examines the peculiarity of a Church established by law in a land the majority of whose people adhered to other Christian bodies.
