Summary Details: Mountmellick is located 11km from the regional hub town of Portlaoise. The population of Mountmellick is currently 2,872 as per the results of the 2006 Census. This is projected to increase to 4,540 by 2018 (see Appendix B). It is forecast that up to 500 houses will be connected in Mountmellick over the next ten years. The projected figure is based on housing completion figures, census population report, Laois housing strategy and Laois County Development Plan. The main employer in the town is St. Vincent’s Hospital. Another significant I/C load in the town is Standex Ireland Ltd. It is expected that with population growth at least a proportional increase in I/C customers will develop. Mountmellick is situated 7km from the existing Portarlington feeder main. 3.1.2.

Its principle aim is to engage with recent revisionist accounts of the various dynasties within the Uí Néill; these necessitate a radical reappraisal of our understanding of their origins and genesis as a dynastic confederacy, as well as the geo-political landsape of the central midlands. Consequently, this paper argues that there is a pressing need to address such issues via more focused analyses of local kingdoms and political landscapes. Holistic understandings of polities like Luigne Breg are fundamental to framing new analyses of the genesis of the Uí Néill based upon interdisciplinary assessments of landscape, archaeology and documentary sources. In the latter part of the paper, an attempt is made to to initiate a wider discussion regarding the nature of kingdoms and collective identities in early medieval Ireland in relation to other other regions of northwestern Europe.

Paupers Behaving Badly: Punishment in the Victorian Workhouse Samantha Williams Abstract The deterrent workhouse, with its strict rules for the behavior of inmates and boundaries of authority of the workhouse officers, was a central expression of the Poor Law Amendment Act of 1834, known widely as the New Poor Law. This article explores for the first time the day-to-day experience of the power and authority of workhouse masters, matrons, other officers of the workhouse, and its Board of Guardians, and the resistance and agency of resentful inmates. Despite new sets of regulations to guide workhouse officers in the uniform imposition of discipline on residents, there was a high degree of regional diversity not only in the types of offenses committed by paupers but also in welfare policy relating to the punishments inflicted for disorderly and refractory behavior. And while pauper agency was significant, it should not be over- stated, given the disparity in power between inmates and workhouse officials. he workhouse was a central feature of Britain’s New Poor Law Amend- Tment Act of 1834, and discipline and punishment for transgressions
