Of historical interest, Hugh O'Neill - the Third Earl of Tyrone - was married in the castle. Drumcondra House dates from 1725. It is now All Hallows College.

  • ALL HALLOWS COLLEGE, DUBLIN Records, 1842-1877 Reels M871-874
    AUSTRALIAN JOINT COPYING PROJECT ALL HALLOWS COLLEGE, DUBLIN Records, 1842-1877 Reels M871-874 All Hallows College Gracepark Road Dublin 9 IRELAND National Library of Australia State Library of New South Wales Filmed: 1974 HISTORICAL NOTE All Hallows College was the first modern foundation in Ireland set up to train priests for work in foreign missions. John Hand (1807-1846) attended St Patrick’s College, Maynooth, and was ordained a priest in 1835. He had a strong interest in the Association for the Propaganda of the Faith, which was founded in 1838, and he conceived the idea of a college in which priests would be trained to serve the Irish peoples in English-speaking countries other than Ireland. In February 1842 the Holy See gave its blessing to the project and All Hallows College was formally opened in November 1842. It was housed in a mansion in Drumcoda in Dublin. The early presidents of the College were: Rev. John Hand 1842-1846 Dr David Moriarty 1846-1854 Dr Bartholomew Woodlock 1854-1861 Rev. Thomas Bennett 1861-1866 Dr William Fortune 1866-1892 The College grew rapidly. The number of students rose from one in 1842 to 120 in 1846. By 1860 there were over 200 students. In its first 40 years, the College sent over 1000 missionaries to English-speaking countries. The main destinations were the United States of America (420), Australia and New Zealand (250), Britain (190), Canada (60), the West Indies and Argentine (49), India (30) and South Africa (28). Since 1892 All Hallows College has been under the direction of the Vincentians.

This is related to the size of the university, its wide range of subjects, the attractive location and the active pursuit of the internationalisation strategy. Roughly one quarter of students are non-Austrians, almost 1,000 Erasmus students are welcomed and supported at the university each year. Conversely, the university assists the mobility of around 1,000 outgoing students. The University of Vienna accounts for roughly 25% of all outgoing Austrian Erasmus students. In addition, the mobility of over 150 outgoing and over 150 incoming students is admi nis tered within the university’s Non-EU Student Exchange Programme, in which the university also invests considerable funds itself in order to cultivate and develop links with the university world outside the EU. The internationalisation of universities is to be under stood as a multi- level process covering ever broader areas of univer sity activities. One third of scientific staff comes from abroad (two thirds of them from the EU), the percentage of newly appointed professors from abroad is 75%.

  • 1895-1970 – Non League 1970-1978 – Loi B Years
    History Friday, 01 January 2010 00:00 1895-1970 – Non league In 1895, the Catholic University Medical School Cecilia Street Football Club was founded, entering a team in the inaugural Leinster Junior League. The team's first match was against Bohemians B in October of 1895 and ended in a 2-0 defeat. November 1895 also saw the first match against Trinity with a result of 2-0 to Cathlolic University. 1898 Catholic University qualified for the Leinster Senior Cup for the first time - and we reached the semi-final. In 1908, the Catholic University merged with University College Dublin, and the team changed name with the merger. Things weren't quite settled yet, though, as we went through a series of grounds - in Sandymount, Cowper Road, Croydon Park, Fairview and Terenure before moving to Belfield Park in 1935 and now the UCD Bowl in 2008. In the meantime, though, success had been regular. In 1914, we won the inaugural Collingwood Cup - the Irish collegiate championships. The next year, UCD won the IFA Intermediate Cup, beating Portadown 2-1 in a replay in Dalymount Park. The first match had seen UCD draw in Windsor Park on St Patrick's Day. The competition was the 'IFA' Cup because in those days before independence, the IFA governed football over the whole island, and the competition involved teams from the whole island. The Intermediate Cup was one step below the Senior Cup in importance, so it was certainly of some significance. UCD were also involved in the first ever FAI Senior Cup in 1921, when they took on a non-league side at the time, Shamrock Rovers, in Windy Arbour, losing 6-2.

  • What Is Social Enterprise?
    ADDING VALUE DELIVERING CHANGE The Role of Social Enterprise in National Recovery Report of the Social Enterprise Task Force An Initiative of Clann Credo and Dublin Employment Pact www.clanncredo.ie www.dublinpact.ie Foreword Social enterprise has a strong and growing presence in Ireland, building on deep roots of community organisation, self-help and a native enthusiasm for enterprise. This spirit has created formidable and unique organisations such as the GAA, the credit union movement, the Irish Countrywomen’s Association (ICA), Muintir na Tíre, the agricultural co-ops, local development and enterprise organisations, along with a wide range of voluntary and charitable groups, from Rehab to local community-owned initiatives. Despite this, the sector remains relatively under-developed in Ireland and has not grown to anything like the levels enjoyed by EU and global counterparts. We estimate that growth here has only kept pace with inflation over the last 14 years. Social Enterprise needs to grow and put down deeper roots. The social enterprise sector needs to act as one and state its case publicly, in order to create a more favourable public and policy environment that will ensure that it realises its true potential. For these reasons, Clann Credo – the Social Investment Fund and Dublin Employment Pact, took the initiative last year to bring people together to focus specifically on how to promote the concept and the common interests of the sector. The result was the Social Enterprise Task Force (SETF) which set itself the mission of developing a Manifesto that would identify the practical ways in which national and local policy could create a more supportive and receptive framework for social enterprise.

Glass, bishop of Salt Lake City, Utah, from 1915 until 1926, was the last Vincentian to be appointed a bishop in the continen- tal United States and the first since 1868. "How or why a relatively obscure pastor in Los Angeles was given that post is not clear."' If asked how the appointment came about, older Vincentians usually answer "through the influence of the Dohenys."2 It is a natural re- sponse, given Glass's close friendship with the oil baron and his wife. That very closeness, however, presents a difficulty. It is unlikely that Glass or his friends would deliberately seek a post that would remove him from the fleshpots of Chester Place (the Doheny residence in Los Angeles) and exile him to a remote diocese that was geographically the most extensive in the United States and that had a small Catholic population.
