  • Political Constructions of Transnational EU Migrants in Ireland
    FROM THE MOUTHS OF JANUS: Political constructions of transnational EU migrants in Ireland Martin J. Power, Amanda Haynes, Eoin Devereux Introduction INTERNATIONAL RESEARCH INDICATES that recessionary periods may be accom- panied by a decline in the quality of relations between the majority population and migrant groups as the latter are at risk of being scapegoated for the economic down- turn. In that context, political leadership on the matter of immigration is of crucial importance, with political parties having a key role to play in framing how the public understand immigration. This article is based on research which examined how politicians construct non-Irish EU immigrants to Ireland through an analysis of the content of statements attributed to this group in the print media. The article focuses on those statements relating to welfare and the economy, which were among a larger range of themes identified in the wider study. Our sample of articles demonstrates that representatives on both the left and right of the political spectrum were found to commonly address the issue of immigration as a social problem, whether by contributing to its framing as a problem, or by seek- ing to contradict its problematisation. In particular, our analysis demonstrated that some representatives of mainstream parties contribute to a discourse whereby migrants are constructed as fraudulent and as burdens on the economy. Drawing on theories (McLaren and Johnson, ;Blumer,;Quillian,;Espenshadeand Hempstead, ) that link anti-immigrant hostility to perceptions of resource com- petition, our paper argues that such political constructions of EU migrants reflect a neoliberal understanding of citizenship which prioritises the economic citizen.

  • A Chronicle of Limerick Life
    A Chronicle of Limerick life As far back as 1690, when William I11 was besieging the then walled city, a Paris reprint is the authority for stating that a book by an Irish Capuchin priest was ~rin- ted in Limerick at that time. The next Limerick book by W.W. Gleeson recorded is "The Libertine School'd" which was printed by Samuel Terry & Boxon in 1722. Whilst it would be futile to attempt provide a constant guide to a domain of the numerous commericial, or job, printing houses that flourished in Limerick, since Caxton introduced to Westminster in 1476 the "Art, Greatest of all Arts", it goes without saying that the Shannonside city was well served with news down the years, as the follow- ing list shows. 1716The Limerick Newsletter, 1739-The Limerick Journal, 1749-Munster Journal, 1766The Limerick Chronicle, 1779-The Limerick Journal, 1788-The Limerick Herald and Munster Advertiser, 1790-The Limerick Weekly Magazine, 1804--The General Adver- ttzer , 1804-The General Advertizer or Limerick Gazette, 1811-The Limerick Evening Post, 1819-The Munster Telegraph, 1822-The Limerick News, 182CThe Irish Observer, 1831-The Limerick Herald, 1832-The Munster Journal and Limerick Commericial Reporter, 1833-The Limerick Guardian, 1834-The Limerick Times, 1837-The Limerick Standard, 1845-The Limerick and Clare Examiner, 185bThe Limerick Reporter and Tipperary Vindicator, 1851-The Munster News, 1853-The Limerick Herald, 1856-The Limerick Observer, The Limerick/Tipperary/Waterford Examiner 1863-The Southern Chronicle, 1867-The Citizens Paper, 1887-The Daily Southern Advertizer 1889-The Limerick Leader. 1893-The Limerick Star, 1898-The Limerick Echo, 1917-The Limerick Herald, 1923-The Limerick Herald, 1937-3LThe Limerick Herald.

  • Behind the Headlines: Media Coverage of Social Exclusion in Limerick City – the Case of Moyross
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by University of Limerick Institutional Repository Behind The Headlines: Media Coverage of Social Exclusion in Limerick City – The Case of Moyross Eoin Devereux, Amanda Haynes and Martin J. Power Introduction 1 In a media setting, and within the public mind, Ireland’s ‘Third City’ has acquired an intensely negative reputation over time. While there are many historical precedents for the maligning of the place’s image, it is generally agreed that the 1980s reached a new low within media practice with the ascription, in some media quarters, of the label ‘Stab City’ to Limerick. The blanket representation of Limerick as a place of crime, social disorder, poverty and social exclusion has continued and it has been amplified in recent years, particularly in the context of the feuds between rival drugs gangs, most of which have been played out in the city’s marginalized local authority estates such as Moyross, St. Mary’s Park, Southill and Ballinacurra Weston. Understandably, a variety of interest groups have expressed concern over the ways in which Limerick generally and marginalized areas in particular have been misrepresented by the mass media 2. Our focus in this chapter is not on the veracity or not of individual stories about Limerick, but rather our task is to get behind the headlines and to examine, in detail, the making of media messages concerning one socially excluded area in Limerick City, namely Moyross. We focus on the role of print and broadcast media professionals in the (mis)representation of this area.

  • Michael Brennan's War of Independence
    Michael Brennan’s War of Independence by Sixth Class St. Conaire’s National School May 2020 1 INTRODUCTION Lieutenant General Michael Brennan died on October 24th, 1986 at the age of 90. He had a long life of service to Ireland. Michael Brennan’s story is very interesting. It is also very important because he was part of the War of Independence in Clare. Michael Brennan also contributed to the building of a free Ireland after independence from Britain. Our sixth class decided to study Michael’s life because of his connection to Shannon. EARLY YEARS Michael Brennan was born in Meelick, Co. Clare on February 2nd, 1896. His parents had a small farm and Michael attended school locally. He knew the area around Meelick and Figure 1 Michael Brennan, Courtesy Cratloe very well. When Michael was a boy Ireland was still governed by Britain. Ireland National Library of Ireland had been looking for Home Rule but did not yet manage to get it. Michael went into Limerick to attend secondary school at St. Munchin’s College. By 1912 the British government promised Home Rule for Ireland. However, the Unionists objected and Home Rule was stopped. A world war broke out in 1914 and lasted for four years until 1918.Millions of people were killed. Irish Nationalists were upset with the British government and started campaigning for independence. When he was 15 Michael joined Fianna Éireann which was a movement like the scouts. His brothers Patrick and Austin were in the Fianna before him. In 1913 Michael helped set up a branch of the Irish Volunteers in Limerick.

It is a high-level, high-ambition, all-of-government initiative to mainstream creativity in the life of the nation so that individually and collectively, in our personal lives and in our institutions, Irish people can realise our full creative potential. The Creative Ireland Programme is culture-based and designed to promote individual, community and national wellbeing. The core proposition is that participation in cultural activity drives personal and collective creativity, with significant implications for individual and societal wellbeing and development. The Creative Ireland Programme encourages, facilitates and supports collaboration across state agencies, organisations and local and national government, in order to cultivate a diverse, accessible and creative cultural ecosystem that sustains wellbeing for all. The Creative Ireland Programme is a legacy initiative, inspired by the extraordinary public response to the Ireland 2016 Centenary Programme. It is also the main implementation vehicle for the priorities identified in the draft policy document, Culture 2025/Éire Ildánach, which states that arts and culture are intrinsic to the Irish State, acknowledges the need to increase access to and participation in the arts, boost our creative industries and preserve our heritage.

  • The Fourth All-Ireland Conference for Undergraduate Research (AICUR), Hosted by the Centre for Teaching and Learning and All University of Limerick Faculties
    Welcome to the Fourth All-Ireland Conference for Undergraduate Research (AICUR), hosted by the Centre for Teaching and Learning and all University of Limerick faculties. What is AICUR? AICUR is just like any other academic conference but what makes it special is that the presentations will be delivered by undergraduate students showcasing research work they have done as part of their studies. The main aim of AICUR is to promote and applaud the fascinating and worthwhile research work that goes on at undergraduate level. In multi-faceted ways, it supports and recognises the development of UL’s Graduate Attributes: articulate, proactive, responsible, collaborative, knowledgeable, and creative. The conference is designed to give undergraduate students (from first to final year) from colleges and universities across Ireland the opportunity to present their research and discuss their creative accomplishments through posters, performances, demonstrations and oral presentations. The goal is to give undergraduate students from across the country the opportunity to present their research work at an academic conference. This year’s participants are paving the way for all future AICUR events and should feel themselves pioneers, exploring the parameters of what undergraduate research in higher education can achieve. We have structured the programme to create interdisciplinary and cross disciplinary themes so that papers from different fields of study can come together allowing for, and encouraging students, and attendees alike, to interact with and learn from their peers across the academy. Apart from creating academic opportunities, we want to provide opportunities for a dynamic exchange of ideas as this is really at the core of AICUR.
