The Development of Grassroots Football in Regional Ireland: the Case of the Donegal League, 1971–1996
33 Conor Curran ‘It has almost been an underground movement’. The Development of Grassroots Football in Regional Ireland: the Case of the Donegal League, 1971–1996 Abstract This article assesses the development of association football at grassroots’ level in County Donegal, a peripheral county lying in the north-west of the Republic of Ire- land. Despite the foundation of the County Donegal Football Association in 1894, soccer organisers there were unable to develop a permanent competitive structure for the game until the late 20th century and the more ambitious teams were generally forced to affiliate with leagues in nearby Derry city. In discussing the reasons for this lack of a regular structure, this paper will also focus on the success of the Donegal League, founded in 1971, in providing a season long calendar of games. It also looks at soccer administrators’ rivalry with those of Gaelic football there, and the impact of the nationalist Gaelic Athletic Association’s ‘ban’ on its members taking part in what the organisation termed ‘foreign games’. In particular, the extent to which the removal of the ‘ban’ in 1971 helped to ease co-operation between organisers of Gaelic and Association football will be explored. Keywords: Association football; Gaelic football; Donegal; Ireland; Donegal League; Gaelic Athletic Association Introduction The nationalist Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA), which is today the leading sporting organisation in Ireland despite its players having to adhere to its amateur ethos, has its origins in the efforts of schoolteacher and journalist Michael Cusack, who was eager to reform Irish athletics which was dominated by elitism and poorly governed in the early 1880s. -
The War of Independence in County Kilkenny: Conflict, Politics and People
The War of Independence in County Kilkenny: Conflict, Politics and People Eoin Swithin Walsh B.A. University College Dublin College of Arts and Celtic Studies This dissertation is submitted in part fulfilment of the Master of Arts in History July 2015 Head of School: Dr Tadhg Ó hAnnracháin Supervisor of Research: Professor Diarmaid Ferriter P a g e | 2 Abstract The array of publications relating to the Irish War of Independence (1919-1921) has, generally speaking, neglected the contributions of less active counties. As a consequence, the histories of these counties regarding this important period have sometimes been forgotten. With the recent introduction of new source material, it is now an opportune time to explore the contributions of the less active counties, to present a more layered view of this important period of Irish history. County Kilkenny is one such example of these overlooked counties, a circumstance this dissertation seeks to rectify. To gain a sense of the contemporary perspective, the first two decades of the twentieth century in Kilkenny will be investigated. Significant events that occurred in the county during the period, including the Royal Visit of 1904 and the 1917 Kilkenny City By-Election, will be examined. Kilkenny’s IRA Military campaign during the War of Independence will be inspected in detail, highlighting the major confrontations with Crown Forces, while also appraising the corresponding successes and failures throughout the county. The Kilkenny Republican efforts to instigate a ‘counter-state’ to subvert British Government authority will be analysed. In the political sphere, this will focus on the role of Local Government, while the administration of the Republican Courts and the Republican Police Force will also be examined. -

Johnston Press and the Crisis in Ireland's Local Newspaper Industry
1 Johnston Press and the Crisis in Ireland’s Local Newspaper Industry, 2005-14 Anthony Cawley Lecturer in Media, Department of Media and Communication, Liverpool Hope University, L16 9JD [A version of this article was published by Journalism.] Reflecting international trends, Ireland’s local newspaper industry has suffered steep circulation and advertising revenue falls since the late-2000s, and has struggled to reshape traditional business models for the digital era. In harsh trading conditions, local titles are operating on reduced editorial resources and are weakened in their capacity to fulfil their traditional watchdog and informed-citizenry functions. Perhaps no company better encapsulates the industry’s recent difficulties than UK media group Johnston Press. In 2005, it paid more than €200m to acquire fourteen local titles in Ireland, but nine years later sold them for just €8.5m. The article draws on this case-study to consider wider issues related to the corporatisation of local news provision, the sustainability of local news industries in small media markets such as Ireland’s, and the increasing disconnect between local journalism’s commodity value and its public good value. KEYWORDS: Johnston Press, Ireland, local newspapers, local journalism, market sustainability Introduction The local newspaper industry in the Republic of Ireland, reflecting the broader international experience, has suffered steep falls in circulation and revenues since the late-2000s, and has struggled to recalibrate its traditional business models for the digital era. In some cases, 2 local news publishers are reorganising and reducing their editorial resources to maintain operating profitability. In other cases, they are doing so to survive. -

Enforcement Decision Series (No
ENFORCEMENT DECISION SERIES (NO. E/05/001) Competition Act 2002 Decision of The Competition Authority (Case COM/05/03) The alleged predation by the Drogheda Independent Company Limited in the market for advertising in local newspapers in the greater Drogheda area Date of Decision: 7th December 2004 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Competition Authority (“the Authority”) has taken the view that alleged predatory conduct by the Drogheda Independent Company Limited (“the DIC”) does not breach the Competition Act 2002. This view is taken on the basis that the DIC is not dominant nor could its alleged conduct constitute an abuse. The alleged conduct is arguably pro-consumer and more indicative of intense competition in the market than predatory conduct by a dominant undertaking. The Authority’s investigation was prompted by complaints from the publisher of the Drogheda Leader (“the Leader”) alleging that the DIC was abusing a dominant position by: launching the Drogheda Independent Weekend Extra (“the Extra”) in 1997, selling advertising below cost since 1997, and selectively discounting the price of advertising in the Extra during January and February 2003. The Authority rejected the first two of these allegations on the basis that the DIC’s actions could not plausibly be considered as predation and the theory of predation was inconsistent with market facts. The Authority therefore only outlines in detail its analysis of the allegation of below cost selling of advertising space in the Extra during early 2003 in this decision note. The Authority considers that the relevant market in which the DIC competes is the market for advertising in local newspapers in the greater Drogheda area. -

In writing this thesis, I hope that I have, in some way, managed to explain the reasons for this cultural diversity. This thesis would not have been written without the assistance of my two supervisors, Professor Mike Cronin and Professor Matthew Taylor. Professor Cronin’s assistance and knowledge has transformed the way I think about history, society and sport while Professor Taylor’s expertise has also made me look at the writing of sports history and the development of society in a different way. -
