In this month’s ARINScast Paul Gosling author of 'A New Ireland' and 'Lessons from the Troubles and the Unsettled Peace', shares his insights regarding the quality of life, the standard and cost of living, and disparities in disposable income, (income inequality) in and across Northern Ireland, Ireland and Britain with Professor John Fitzgerald and our ARINS host Rory Montgomery. Drawing on Gosling’s regional comparisons, in educational attainment, technical skills, productivity, and housing they explore why the cost of living crisis impacts Northern Ireland more readily than the Republic and Great Britain. https://www.ria.ie/news/arins-analysis-and-research-ireland-north-and-south/who-better-those-northern-ireland-ireland This is episode 27 of a podcast series that provides evidence-based research and analysis on the most significant questions of policy and public debate facing the island of Ireland, north and south.

ARINS: What would reform of the Belfast/Good Friday Agreement look like? 1:00:32

1:00:32

This month’s ARINS podcast examines how the Belfast/Good Friday Agreement has functioned over the 25 years since it was signed, and how it is currently received. Host Rory Montgomery speaks with Professor Alan Renwick and Conor J. Kelly authors of the UCL constitution unit’s report on Perspectives on the Belfast/Good Friday Agreement: Examining Diverse Views, 1998-2003. https://www.ucl.ac.uk/constitution-unit/publications/unit-reports The report offers an array of perspectives shared in political party manifestos, in interviews and in focus groups for UCL’s constitution unit. The insights offered by politicians, academics, civil society representatives, from across the political spectrum in Northern Ireland, Britain and Ireland, show the impact and importance of the Agreement after twenty five years and identify the ways in which the different strands of the agreement have instituted a robust level of stability thus far weathering perceived vulnerabilities including wavering interest from London and Dublin and the ebb and flow of trust in and from political parties. The report’s findings demonstrate the success of the agreement as a peace treaty and the need for unwavering commitment from the parties to peace to listen to the needs, fears and anxieties of the constituencies and communities in Northern Ireland. Professor Alan Renwick, Deputy Director of the Constitution Unit in UCL. He also chaired the Working Group on Unification Referendums on the Island of Ireland. He is an expert in the mechanisms through which citizens can participate in formal politics. Conor J. Kelly is a PhD student at Birkbeck College, University of London.

In this ARINS Podcast hosted by Rory Montgomery, Professor Jennifer Todd from UCD and Professor John Doyle DCU discuss their recent article with co-author Dr Joanne McEvoy (University of Aberdeen) titled 'Time for Deliberation, not Decision, on the Shape of a New United Ireland: Evidence from the ARINS Survey focus groups.' Together they explore the power of focus group findings for Analysing and Researching Ireland North and South. We understand the views of people who said they were undecided in how they might vote in a referendum on the future of Northern Ireland. We learn how important issues are identified from perceptions of identity to the understanding of the workings of power-sharing, public policy processes, and governance and institution preferences for people North and South. Based on their findings Professors Doyle and Todd share their insights into how to create sustained and systemic processes of discussion and deliberation processes in tandem with survey findings to help us address the need for greater information and knowledge transfer, across the island.

Window on the Irish soul: A century of Irish stamps 59:00

Lecture title: Window on the Irish soul: A century of Irish stamps Speaker: Stephen Ferguson, An Post Archivist and Museum Curator Chair: Barbara McCormack, Academy Librarian This lecture was recorded on 17 May 2023 and due to popular demand was held again during Heritage Week on 15 August 2023. Shortly after independence in 1922, the new Irish government turned its attention to the design of stamps to replace the contemporary British stamps then is use. Over the years since then Irish identity, culture and aspirations have been expressed through the medium of these miniature masterpieces with postage stamps acting as our ambassadors throughout the world. Long before the advent of the postage stamp, however, the idea of a stamp as a form of tax was well-known and the Academy’s library holds a remarkable album of eighteenth century revenue stamps which can, in a sense, be seen as the world’s very first stamp album. Highlighting such connections between the Academy and Irish stamps, Stephen Ferguson traces the changing nature of Ireland’s image from the conservative and inward-looking era of the early Free State to the more confident, socially progressive, and tech-savvy nation of today.…

A Brief History of the Dublin Metropolitan Cattle Market 52:39

The Market was a significant element of the area in the hinterland of Grangegorman from 1863 when it opened first to 1973 when it was closed down. This talk by Dr Mary Muldowney and Dr Declan O'Brien includes extracts from oral history interviews, with a range of people who shared their memories of working in the Market as well as information about the local and national importance of this very rural enterprise in its busy urban setting. Representing different facets of the life of the Market, the contributors came from various parts of the city and country and shed a fascinating light on what was once such an important workplace. This talk was delivered on 3 June as part of Revealing Grangegorman, a celebratory event organised by GDA, along with TU Dublin, HSE and Workday. Grangegorman Histories is a public history programme of research and shared discovery of the Grangegorman site and surrounding communities.

In this month’s ARINS podcast Mapping the Tapestry: National and International Human Rights Frameworks in Northern Ireland and Ireland authors Profs. Kathryn McNeilly, and Aoife O’Donoghue from Queens University Belfast’s School of Law share their research examining legal equivalence in Human Rights law in Ireland and Northern Ireland with our host Rory Montgomery. By exploring the convergence and divergence in institutional Human Rights arrangements Professors McNeilly and O’Donoghue share the significance of the 1998 Belfast/Good Friday Agreement for Human Rights provision in Ireland and Northern Ireland. Particularly the importance of the Human Rights bodies north and south and the joint committee’s collaborative working methods in supporting co-operation across the two jurisdictions. The authors explain how collaborative legal provision attempts to weather discretionary or “Henry VIII” challenges from domestic governments, such as the Bill of Rights Bill that sought to replace the Human Rights Act of 1998. Drawing on the wider international provisions and European Union (ECHR) Human Rights frameworks we learn how human rights law provisions in Ireland and Northern Ireland evolve and intersect.

Edmund Spenser’s View of the Present State of Ireland (1596): Re-Appraised 46:01

32 weeks тому46:01

46:01

On Monday, 7 October, Nicholas Canny MRIA delivered this lecture as part of the Dublin Festival of History in the Royal Irish Academy. Spenser’s View has, for centuries, been treated variously as a trove of prejudiced antiquarian lore useful for disparaging Irish people at moments of crisis, and as a store house of evidence that the English government engaged upon an Irish genocide in Elizabethan times. This lecture by Nicolas Canny, MRIA, offers a radical re-appraisal of the manuscript copy that Spenser left to posterity in 1596, and asks what motivated Spenser to take time from poetic composition to write this prose dialogue, what circumstances influenced his composition of different passages, and what sources and methods he used to underpin the ideas advanced by his interlocutors?…

Elections and their Consequences - The EU Elections 37:16

33 weeks тому37:16

37:16

Panel discussion on the consequences of the European Parliament elections that took place on the 24th of September 2024. The members of the panel were Francis Jacobs (former head of the European Parliament Office, Dublin), Sarah Collins (Brussels correspondent, Business Post) and Professor Ben Tonra, MRIA (UCD). It was chaired by Iulia Siedschlag (ESRI). Francis Jacobs, in his analysis of the EP election results, confirmed that the EPP had been a clear winner, increasing its seat share. The S & D group had largely held its own. It had been a poor election for Renew and the Greens. The far left had increased its seat numbers slightly. While the far right had done well, especially in the largest member states, it had not had the sweeping victory some had predicted, and was fragmented into three rival parties. In principle the mainstream parties should have a majority, but there could also be times when ECR votes were needed. How PM Meloni played her hand would be critically important. There could well be different majorities on different issues. Sarah Collins spoke about the formation of the Commission. The definition and allocation of portfolios was complex and was generally felt to be likely to boost the authority of President Von der Leyen, as the arbiter of likely disputes, still further. She confirmed that Von der Leyen had been irritated by the Irish Government’s approach to the nomination process, and by the high-profile opposition of four FF MEPs to her re-election. The promotion of European competitiveness as a core objective meant that the Commission could be expected to tilt in a pro-business direction. The Draghi Report offered a range of policy priorities to further this overarching goal. State aid could become very controversial. Climate change and the green new deal would remain important, and other prominent topics would include defence, tech and biopharma regulation, energy and the rule of law. The Ukraine/Russia war would obviously loom large too, however it developed. Ben Tonra, recognising that the Parliament’s role in relation to the Common Foreign and Security Policy remained relatively weak, nonetheless said that its budgetary role, and its resolutions, even if non-binding, gave it influence. Trends to look out for, with an increase in far right representation and growing anxieties within mainstream parties, included an opposition to strengthening the EU’s foreign policy capacity; resistance to the pooling of defence resources; a transactional approach by some (HU, CZ) to Russia and China; scepticism about enlargement; hostility to migration, including legal migration; the securitisation of development policy; a reluctance to push hard on human rights; less ambition on climate change. Several varied issues were raised from the floor, including regarding the strength of the commitment to combating climate change; the next Multiannual Financial Framework; the contribution of Irish MEPs; the Apple tax decision; the EU and the Middle East; the speed of decision-making; planning for the effects of either outcome in the US election, including on the goal of strategic autonomy; Von der Leyen’s management style; the role of EP President Metsola; and the robustness of the euro. The rapporteur for this event was Rory Montgomery, MRIA…
