The idea was adopted by the Executive Committee of I.T.E. and Mr. 6 Riaggin was asked to formulate specific proposals for a research project to be undertaken by the Institillid under his direction. Discussions on the matter continued during the summer of 1976, during the course of which Bordna Gaeilge made known its willingness to be involved with I.T.E. in the study. In September, 1976 the Executive Committee of I.T.E. finally decided to undertake the project, taking responsibility for the salaries of all Institiuid staff, engaged in the work and for other internalexpenses . incurred, while Bord na Gaeilge undertook sponsorship by makinga subvention to cover the costs of direction and incidental externalcosts. A Liaison Committee, representing the Bord and I.T.t.,was set up to monitor the project. The membership of the Committee was as folllows: Pgdraig 6 Coimin Hilary Tovey Segn de Freine- * Liam 5 Dochartaigh Tomgs 0 Domhnallgin. At a later stage in the work Professor Damian Hannan of the E.S.R.I., Riobard Mac GOrgin of Gael-Linn and Michegl 6 Fathaigh of Bordna Gaeilge took part in consultative discussions in regard to the project. During the course of the earlier meetings the terms of reference for the study were modified to take account of issues that had emerged. As finally formulated the terms of referencewere as follows: Replaced at a later date by Aodh 6 Canainn, Michek Graeand Caoimhfn 6 hUiginn. -2- "To examine the extent to which all-Irish primary schools in the Dublin area: (1) provide opportunities for parents who do not use Irish in their homes to send children to an all-Irish school; (2) provide an impetus for an increase in the use of Irish within the homes of children attending the schools; (3) increase interaction amongst Irish-speaking families through common interests, common participation in parent- teacher associations, extra-curricular activities etc.; (4) are, in their locational distribution, related to the distribution of Irish-speakers 4-1 the Dublin area; (5) build up the levels of Irish speakers in the communitiec they serve through the presence in the area of school leavers; (6) encourage parents who value all-Irish education for their children to move residence to an area provided with an all-Irish school and thereby decrease their isolation from other Irish-speaking families, and (7) are systematically related to all-Irish pre-school and post- primary education through Irish". A preliminary report was presented to the Liaison Committee in January, 1977. A draft report was submitted in October 1977 and the final report in October 1978. I take this opportunity on behalf of I.T.E. to extend to Bord na Gaeilge our appreciation of their assistance to and support of the project. Our thanks are also due to the members of the Liaison Committee and of the consultative group mentioned above, as well as to the Principals and staff of the schools, the parents who allowed themselves to be interviewed and to many others who helped in various ways. Finally, our special thanks are due to P6daig 6 Riaggin and Miche61 0 Glias.4in who expended so much energy on the work. .rte ant.41..zeLv 1 M6rta, 1979 t4 AUTHORS' ACKNOWLEDGMENT The authors wish to express their sincere appreciation to the following, without whose help the project would not have been completed. First of all, we would like to thank the members of the Liaison Committee and those others mentioned above who advised us from time to time. We found their help and encouragement most stimulating and rewarding. Any mistakes or omission are our own responsibility. At the early stages of the project, the school principals willingly gaNe us of their precious time and were of the utmost assistance in providing us with essential background information and opinions whichwere very valuable in planning and orienting the research. We are most grateful to them. We wish also to record our debt to the interviewing team: Michegl Tovey, Bairbre O'Connor and Pgdraig 0 Seaghdha for their efficiency and good spirits in carrying out a difficult task. Their work was made much lighter, however, by the generous co-operation and interest in the project shown by the respondents themselves: it is to them that we owe our greatest debt and it is our fervent hope that the present report justifies the help they have given us. Finally, we would like to thank the Director of Institiuid Teangeolafochta Eireann, Tomgs 5 Domhnallgin,

The most expensive and highly renowned restaurants in the western world are predominantly French whereas, historically, Ireland has not traditionally associated with dining excellence. However, in 2011, the editor of Le Guide du Routard, Pierre Josse, noted that ‗the Irish dining experience is now as good, if not better, than anywhere in the world.‘ Nonetheless, Josse reminds us that ‗thirty years ago, when we first started the Irish edition, the food here was a disaster.

  • Broken Order
    Broken Order Shapeshifting as Social Metaphor in Early Medieval England and Ireland Gwendolyne Knight Academic dissertation for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History at Stockholm University to be publicly defended on Friday 18 January 2019 at 10.00 in hörsal 7, hus D, Universitetsvägen 10 D. Abstract Shapeshifting narratives appear in cultures all over the world, throughout human history. At each point, these narratives give expression to culturally contingent anxieties and preoccupations. This study examines shapeshifting narratives in early medieval England and Ireland in order to uncover what preoccupations informed the meaning of 'shapeshifting', and also what social functions these shapeshifting narratives could serve. It begins with a lexical analysis of the verbs and nouns most associated with shapeshifting narratives; then, it examines shapeshifting narratives on the one hand, and comparisons between humans and animals on the other; finally, the study turns to the sociocultural role of shapeshifting narratives. It demonstrates that, although shapeshifting manifests differently in English and Irish contexts, the importance of performance, in particular the proper performance of in-group behaviour, is a consistent theme between them. Often, shapeshifting narratives visually confirm or demonstrate changes that have already taken place. Although the transformation of a human into something else would appear to break the natural order, such a wondrous disruption ultimately reveals divine power, and reinforces the divine order.
