Kilcock Garda Stations Walking around Maynooth, what is your general impression of the town? Well, on July 19th this year the Tidy Towns adjudicators visited Maynooth and in assessing their general impression of the town we scored just 4 out of 10 and once again our overall mark at 162 out of 300 is low-by national standards. But first of all we have to compliment the Tidy Towns Committee and their Community Employment Scheme workers who have made valiant efforts over the pastfew years to improve the town's appearance. The committee are a group of volunteers who give freely of their time to a cause which, at time, must look like an uphill struggle. Every Sunday morning they are to be found cleaning up the litter on the Main Street. This is not a job for which there is a queue of volunteers. Each year Maynooth's score in the Tidy Towns Competition has edged up byafew marks and most of the credit must go to the local committee. The fact re- mains, how- ever, that Maynooth is a less tidy and more little prone town than most who enter the com- petition. So, who IS to blame? Per hap s Maynooth's greatest prob- lem in this area is that we suf- fer from civic neglect. Towns of an equiva- lent size across the country seem to benefit much more from their 10- cal authorities. A Little Closer for Printing Kildare Co. Council's aspi- rations for Maynooth are high. Various Development Plans see us a,s a 'flagship town' in the fu- ture but these aspirations have not been matched by a presence on the ground. Ihe people of Maynooth, businesses and residents, must also take responsibility for our environment. It is, perhaps, fair to suggest that at a time when THE CARDINAL PRESS commerce in Maynooth is booming some of our local businesses have been less than inspiring in presenting their '" premises or in controlling litter in their immediate vicinity. The Cattle Mart and Maynooth Shopping Centre certainly form a very poor impression as one approaches the town on the Dublin Road. As residents we must also Tel: 01 - 628 6695 Fax: 01 - 628 6440 take responsibility for the untidy state of our streets and roads.

  • Shots Were Fired | Norient.Com 1 Oct 2021 02:06:01 Shots Were Fired MIXTAPE by Bernard Clarke
    Shots Were Fired | norient.com 1 Oct 2021 02:06:01 Shots Were Fired MIXTAPE by Bernard Clarke War is the biggest and most horrible drama of human kind. Yet the noises of war – everything from swords clanging to modern machine guns and bombs – have fascinated musicians and composers for centuries. For his mix «shots were fired» for the section «war» from the Norient exhibition Seismographic Sounds the Irish radio journalist Bernard Clarke combined radio news samples with musically deconstructed war sounds. «shots were fired» is a deeply personal response to a tragedy and farce played out in a Paris dripping with blood and a media whipping up a frenzy; to and of the forgotten victims in France and around the world; and of and to the so-called world leaders who seized on this outrage for a media opportunity, a «selfie». Western societies are not the havens of rationalism that they often proclaim themselves to be. The West is a polychromatic space, in which both freedom of thought and tightly regulated speech exist, and in which disavowals of deadly violence happen at the same time as clandestine torture. And yet, at moments when Western societies consider themselves under attack, the discourse is quickly dominated by an ahistorical fantasy of long- suffering fortitude in the face of provocation. Yet European and American history are so strongly marked by efforts to control speech that the persecution of rebellious thought stands as a bedrock of these societies. Witch burnings, heresy trials, and the untiring work of the Inquisition shaped Europe, and these ideas extended into American history as well and took on American modes, from the breaking of slaves to the genocide of American Indians to censuring of critics of «Operation Iraqi Freedom».

  • Irish Cultural Revival | Sample Answer ‘How Did Cultural and Religious Identities Develop In
    Irish Cultural Revival | Sample answer ‘How did cultural and religious identities develop in Ireland 1870-1914’ (2019) Gaelic culture was beginning to decline and become more Anglicised. There was a growing spread of Irish people embracing English culture, language and customs, and forgetting their own. There was a cultural revival in the last decades of the 19th century. This saw the growth of cultural nationalism. Organisations such as the GAA and the Gaelic League tried to revive Irish identity and culture through sport and language. The Anglo-Irish literacy revival also tried to accomplish this through literature and plays. The GAA De Valera’s English sports such as soccer, cricket, rugby and athletics were organised with rules and competitions. They were mainly confined to gentlemen, who were Protestant, Unionist and upper-class men as games were played on Saturdays when poor Catholics worked. This led to a decline in traditional Irish games and so Michael Cusack, who was a former member of the IRB, saw the spread of English games as a threat to Irish culture. Thus he wrote an article in an Irish newspaper stating his desire to preserve Irish games, open sports to all social classes and achieve greater control over the running of Irish sports. Maurice Davin who was one of Irelands greatest athletes, supported Cusack and so he, along with Cusack and 11 other men founded the Gaelic Athletic Association or the GAA in the Hayes Hotel in Thurles on the 1st of November 1884. Davin became the first President while Cusack was elected the secretary.
