Abstract:

This study discerns how, and the extent to which cnme III Ireland and Northern Ireland is related to social capital, homogeneity and tolerance measured in the European Values Survey. Higher levels of social capital are associated with lower crime and higher crime is associated with lower levels of social capital. Reported crime was 92% higher in Northern Ireland in 1999, as it had been for the previous five and ten years I. The level of unreported crime is higher in Northern Ireland. Social capital is higher in the Republic than in Northern Ireland in 100 of 128 European Values Survey 1999 measures (of social capital, homogeneity and tolerance). 21 were higher in NI. Higher levels of social capital, homogeneity and tolerance have a demonstrable and continuous downward impact on reported and unreported crime in the Republic of Ireland. The findings in this study do not support the GECD suggestion that trust can be a proxy for social capital, nor is voluntary activity alone a valid proxy. The level of involvement in sports and recreation, concern for the elderly, being prepared to help immigrants and spending time with work colleagues neighbourliness - is a more reliable indicator. Sporting membership is high in Ireland and Northern Ireland. The Ulster Tiger and Celtic Tiger help and hinder social capital. Satisfaction with the police and justice in Northern Ireland is increasing among Catholics and decreasing among Protestants but decreasing overall. Social bonding in credit unions, pubs, white collar crime and the black economy is considered as a form of social capital. The EVS 1999 results do not raise questions about the general applicability of the recommendations of the Patten Commission as a blueprint for police reform but the ESS 2003 suggests a need to evaluate the results of the Commission's recommendations. Twenty activities and policies are suggested to discourage crime through social capital, homogeneity and tolerance.

Abstract:

This thesis investigates how relations between the government of Britain, Ireland and Northern Ireland changed in the early years of the Northern Ireland Troubles until the collapse of the Sunningdale executive in May 1974. Specifically this research looks at the three relations studying many of the important aspects of intergovernmental relations within the three jurisdictions at the time and using a wide range of examples to demonstrate how the primary driver in relations between all three jurisdictions moved from economic to political, security and intelligence by 1972 and how these relationships grew and developed before their eventual collapse in the months following the Ulster Workers’ Council Strike. Primarily this study is based on archive research in London, Dublin and Belfast at the official national archives of the three states. However it has also made use of interviews with officials. It includes new insight into negotiations for membership of the EEC, Territorial Seas Delimitation, the Arms Crisis, British relations with Terence O’Neill (and the Northern Ireland government’s opinion of the British), the preparations for internment and Direct Rule, the origins of the Northern Ireland Office and the Irish government’s relations with Northern Ireland’s nationalists. This thesis, using recently released sources, challenges a number of conclusions from previously published research, particularly into North-South relations after 1966, and Britain’s preparations for sending British troops in support of the Northern Ireland government. Significantly, this PhD also demonstrates a long series of British attempts at the end of 1972 and throughout 1973 to tease the Irish government into increasing their border security operations. In doing so it explains the Sunningdale Agreement in the context of a relationship between the Cosgrave and Heath governments that went far beyond what was known at the time and was dependent to a far greater extent on security cooperation than has previously been accepted.

Abstract:

This doctoral project uses quantitative data from the AusStage database to provide an overview of the plays, playwrights and practitioners involved in staging Irish drama on the Australian stage over time. The data reveal a surge in Australian practitioner and audience interest in Irish drama and performance-making during the final decade of the twentieth century and the first decade of the twenty-first century. This period is scrutinised to reveal possible reasons for the popularity of this vein of performance in Australia at the time. The early twenty-first century is subsequently discussed as a time when the Australian academy began to recognise the vibrancy and uniqueness of Irish theatre and performance. This study then presents case studies drawn from a diverse range of performances presented by Irish and Australian mainstage and independent practitioners in Australia during and since this era. Bourdieu’s ‘Habitus’ is employed as a theoretical framework to elucidate the unique qualities of an Irish manner of being in the world that draws such practitioners and audiences to this strand of world theatre and performance in Australia. Arjun Appadurai’s theories on interculturality and his concept of a ‘community of sentiment’ are discussed in order to argue for these practitioners and their audiences as such a community drawn to an Irish habitus, as elucidated by the sociologist Tom Inglis. The study discusses mainstage Irish performances that resonated in Australia at a time of disillusionment with institutional religion. Collaborations between Irish and Australian practitioners highlighting subaltern concerns are also examined. Finally, independent theatre companies on the fringes of Australian cultural life that have benefited from the ‘cultural capital’ associated with Irishness are also identified as constituents of this community.

Abstract : The present thesis aimed at investigating modern Irish poetry and its relation to the historical and political context in which it is inserted. More specifically, the poetry of William Butler Yeats, who was one of the major organizers of the Irish Literary Revival. A movement that had the objective of revitalizing the national identity of Ireland after the process of colonization. The corpus was composed of seven poems from different books. They were: ?To Ireland in the Coming Times? (1892), ?September 1913? (1913), ?The Fisherman? (1916), ?Easter, 1916? (1916), ?Nineteen Hundred and Nineteen?, (1921), ?Come Gather Around me, Parnellites?(1937), ?Politics?(1939). The chronological order of publication of the poems was followed in order to investigate changes in relation to the political positioning of the poet. This study was grounded on the presupposition that the political poems written by Yeats were important to the process of decolonization of Ireland and that history and politics can present other possibilities when they are discussed by means of poetry.

Abstract:

I'm aware of the irony of writing a paper on the oral tradition. However, the state of Irish storytelling today is so complex that to attempt to "tell" it would result in a half-portrait of what's really happening.Review for this paper began with a trip to Ireland to consult with the tellers in person. I interviewed several members of the modern storytelling community, a group of artists whose performances commemorate the fireside storytelling tradition of the past. Back at home, critical texts on economics and anthropology added context to the idea that modern storytelling is an act of culture commemoration. But this paper is not a lament on the loss of tradition. It is a prospectus on how Irish storytelling will survive and even flourish in coming years. The audiences might not look the same, owing to tourism, and the tellers might appear more diverse, owing to globalization, but the general idea remains the same: In Ireland, storytelling will find a way, always.

Abstract:

Two proxies are best suited to an investigation of animal exploitation in medieval Ireland, the historical record and the zooarchaeological record. Extensive analyses of both have been brought together here to address this topic. In selecting period documents to include in the study, an attempt was made t.o cover the various historical traditions seen in medieval Ireland; this includes Irish annals, Anglo-Norman administratixe documents, and narrative histories and observations from medieval writers. One of the more important aspects of this thesis was the accumulation of as authoritative corpus of zooarchaeological data as possible. Towards these ends, a large number ofpublished and unpublished reports have been brought together to form a complete picture ofthe state of the medieval Irish faunal record. Three new faunal assemblages, from Carrickmines Castle, Co. Dublin, Dunboyne Castle, Co. Meath, and Ballybarrack souterrain, Co. Louth, have also been analysed and included in the thesis. On a broader scale, this thesis highlights three problems in both the archaeology of medieval Ireland. The first of these is the integration of historical and archaeological data, and to what extent it is appropriate to do so. The second is a general problem within archaeology and that is the treatment of specialist reports. Too often such reports are either not fully published or not published at all, limiting or eliminating the usefulness of the data they contain. Alternatively, they are not readily accessible to researchers whom they would benefit. Finally, the state of the medieval Irish archaeological record is heavily biased towards Anglo-Norman/urban sites. This is of special significance in that, due to a lake of economic records, zooarchaeology is one ofthe few strands of evidence available which may shed light on animal exploitation in Gaelic Ireland.

Abstract:

Background: With the return to relative peace in Northern Ireland, available demographic data suggest that its population is growing in the sense of becoming increasingly diverse in line with the UK. However, there has been very little research on the social psychological implications of this growing diversity. One aspect of the implication of the growing diversity is prejudice. But past research had focused on Catholics and Protestants with little on the multiethnic dimension. In view of this gap, this research was directed at multiethnic prejudice in Northern Ireland. Aims: To understand the extent of multiethnic prejudice in Northern Ireland in view of the growing diversity. Research Design: The research broadly comprised four studies. The first, focused on a qualitative perspective with seven ethnic groups. It employed the simultaneous use of focus groups with sample sizes of 4-6 persons and Interpretative Phenomenological Analytical (IPA) approaches. The quantitative part had a total sample size of 417. In a cross-sectional design using a convenience sample method, Study two was an evaluation of intergroup relations based on Social Identity to understand its dimensionality in a multiethnic context. The third and fourth studies were focused on Blatant/Subtle Prejudice and Social Distance as measures of the prevalence of ethnic prejudice respectively. These studies also sought to understand their factor structures. Findings: The qualitative study uncovered feelings of dislike and mutual suspicion between ethnic groups. The study also showed that it is possible to simultaneously use Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis and focus in analysing data. The quantitative analysis which employed the use of SPSS and AMOS found a three factor structure for Social Identity in a multiethnic context. In addition, Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was applied due some of the limitation of factor analysis. There were significant differences between Catholics and Protestant on Social Identity and all the prejudice measures. There was also evidence of significant negative views between majority and minority groups in the country. Conclusion: The main implication of this research is that there is evidence of a broad divide between the ethnic groups involved in the research indicating a lack of integration. Further implications and areas for future research are suggested.

Colquhoun, Ian. "The bronze swords of Ireland." Thesis, Durham University, 2015. http://etheses.dur.ac.uk/11267/.

Full text

Abstract:

The leaf shaped bronze sword is one of the most distinctive and evocative weapons of prehistory. The type appears throughout Western Europe in the final centuries of the second millennium BC only to disappear as an artefact type with the widespread introduction of iron weapons hundreds of years later. The widespread distribution of the bronze sword points to the increasingly martial nature of Late Bronze Age society, a feature echoed in Ireland by the appearance of defensive landscape features. The expansion and development of Irish archaeology in the last fifteen years has rather left metalwork and swords, in particular, behind, as the main focus has moved away from artefacts towards settlement. It is only in recent years that interest has revived in the Bronze Age and bronze metalwork. Over six hundred swords have been recovered from Ireland, the vast majority being nineteenth century finds. Most belong to the equivalent of the Ewart Park type in Britain – but there are significant numbers of early flange hilted weapons and of the late Gundlingen type. This thesis represents the first major study of the development and context of the Irish swords since George Eogan’s work (Eogan 1964). It examines, in addition to those weapons listed in Eogan’s catalogue, all of the more recent discoveries, and takes as the central theme the biography or life cycle of a sword, from manufacture through to use and deposition, with the emphasis on the latter. The thesis represents a companion to the comprehensive analysis and catalogue of Bronze Age swords in Britain, co- authored by myself and Colin Burgess (Colquhoun and Burgess 1988). Following the death of Ian Colquhoun on 7th June 2013, the thesis was compiled, formatted and submitted posthumously by his supervisors – Dr Benjamin Roberts and Dr Tom Moore.

Cette thèse suit l’évolution et la transmission du concept de GND à travers le temps et l’espace via l’analyse des documents produits par les groupes GND de Grande Bretagne, d’Irlande et d’Irlande du Nord dans une perspective comparative. La thèse intègre des méthodes quantitatives et qualitatives, dont des entretiens semistructurés, l’analyse lexicométrique et une forme adaptée de l’Analyse Critique du Discours afin de répondre à la question suivante : « Comment les discours et les idéologies des 'Green New Deals' de l'Irlande, la Grande-Bretagne et l'Irlande du Nord peuvent-ils être compris en relation les uns aux autres et dans leurs contextes respectifs ? » La thèse explore l'influence des contextes et des groupes sur les discours et le contenu idéologique des textes Green New Deal, et avance l’argument que bien que les Green New Deals aient, à des degrés divers, le potentiel pour constituer la première étape d'une transition sur le long terme vers une économie politique juste et verte, ils se doivent de développer certains thèmes pour permettre à leur potentiel transformateur d’opérer, au lieu de renforcer les idéologies actuellement dominantes
This thesis follows the evolution and transmission of the Green New Deal concept through time and space by examining the British, Irish and Northern Irish Green New Deal documents from a comparative perspective. It uses quantitative and qualitative methods including Corpus Linguistics, Critical Discourse Analysis and the collection of elite oral history interviews to respond to the guiding question, “How can the discourses and embedded ideologies of the Green New Deals of the Republic of Ireland, Great Britain and Northern Ireland be understood in relation to one another and their respective contexts?”. The thesis explores the influence of contexts and groups on the discourses and ideological contents of the Green New Deal texts, ultimately finding that though the Green New Deals have the potential to act as transitional documents in a move towards a just green political economy, further work must be done to develop key themes in the texts and ensure they realise their transformative potential rather than simply reinforcing currently dominant ideologies

Full text

Abstract:

Through an autoethnographical approach, and interviews and participant observations with forty women who migrated from Japan during the past two decades and are now living in Northern Ireland and the Republic, this thesis documents the dynamic subjectivities of individual migrants: the ways in which their emotions, perceptions and memories are formed by specific globalising forces and the peculiar dynamics of transnational families. The following questions have been considered: (1) what prompted these women to leave Japan and migrate to Ireland! Northern Ireland?; (2) how did they make adjustments to the cultural and physical distance between their own and their husbands' home country?; (3) in shifting social settings and cultural contexts, how did they recreate a sense of belonging?; and (4) how were their subjectivities shaped and reshaped in changing relationships and emotional involvements with families 'here' and 'there'? In examining these questions, this study reconsiders two themes that have been central to contemporary studies of migration, transnationalism and cosmopolitanism: the role of global imaginary in shaping people's perceptions of places as loci of possibility (or lack of possibility); and shifting and situated senses of belonging. Some theories of affect, emotion, acculturation, and perception are also applied in order to explore the links between individuals' subjectivities and social-cultural forms.

This project explores the history of gay and lesbian activism in the Republic of Ireland from 1973 to 1993. Using primary archival material and oral interviews it challenges the current historical narrative which presupposes that gay and lesbian activism in Ireland was confined to a legal battle to decriminalise sexual activity between males and confined to the activities of one man, David Norris. The project broadens the campaign for gay rights in Ireland to include other individuals, organisations, concerns, aims, strategies, and activities outside Dublin. In particular, the thesis demonstrates the extent to which there were numerous gay and lesbian organisations throughout Ireland which utilised the media, the trade union movement, student movement and support from international gay/lesbian organisations to mount an effective campaign to improve both the legal and social climate for Ireland’s gay and lesbian citizens. While politicians in recent years have claimed credit for the dramatic changes in attitudes to homosexuality in Ireland, this project demonstrates the extent to which these dramatic changes were pioneered, not my politicians, but rather by gay and lesbian activists throughout Ireland, in both urban and provincial regions, since the 1970s. The project considered the emergence of a visible gay community in Ireland and its impact on changing perceptions of homosexuals; the important role played by lesbian women; the role of provincial gay/lesbian activists; the extent to which HIV/AIDS impacted the gay rights campaign in Ireland; and how efforts to interact with the Roman Catholic Church, political parties, and other important stakeholders shaped the strategies of gay/lesbian organisations. Homosexuals are revolting: A history of gay and lesbian activism in the Republic of Ireland, 1973-1993, reveals the extent to which gay and lesbian activists were important agents of social and political change in Ireland, particularly in terms of Irish sexual mores and gender norms. This project helps to contextualise the dramatic changes in relation to homosexuality that have taken place in recent years in Ireland and encourages scholars to further explore the contribution of Ireland’s queer citizens to the transformation of Ireland in the twentieth- and twentieth-first century.

Abstract:

This thesis investigates the law of pledging as presented in the early Irish laws and draws connections to its relations within the overall system of security. At the centre of my research stands the question what pledges Irish law recognised and how their application was determined, so as to provide a paradigm for the law of pledging in its entirety. A pledge is usually a movable, material object of symbolic and economic worth that is given to another person as a security deposit for an outstanding obligation. The main findings of this thesis are a first paradigm of the law of pledging and a methodological and contextual categorisation of all types of pledges that opens doors for future research into property law. The combined discussion of pledges, hostages and sureties offers the reader insight into a triple method of security and its differences. Moreover, the close relationship between given pledges and distrained pledges is unravelled for the first time. Of further note is the comparative investigation into pledging. Therein, the reader is presented with how pledges are used in Welsh, Salic, Lombard, Visigothic, and Burgundian law. The objective is to offer the reader a view into the possibilities of pledging and to provide a framework against which the Irish evidence can be probed, which reveals how sophisticated and attentive to detail the Irish laws were. Finally, a translation of the primary source text 'Bretha im Fuillemu Gell' (Judgements concerning Pledge-interests) is made available to the reader in the Appendix.

Abstract: The aim of this study was to find out whether terms of endearment are used by native speakers of English while addressing strangers and if so, what are the reasons? Another aspect is if they use familiar body language while addressing a stranger. This study was carried out based on a number of observations in Northern Ireland and Ireland.

Since the aim of the study was to see why terms of endearments are used the researcher needed the help of a male observer to see if the reasons were gender related. Nine restaurants of different social class were visited, nine stores of different social class, the observers spoke to nine taxi drivers, they visited nine hotels of different social class; and asked nine people for directions in the street.

The results showed that no young people addressed either of the observers with terms of endearment. There was no difference in social class. There was a big difference in how the male and the female observer were addressed by people over the age of 40. While the male observer was addressed very polite, the female observer was addressed with a very informal speech were the participants used terms of endearments such as "love" and touched her on the shoulder.

Abstract:

This study addresses critical questions in relation to the factors affecting the economic lives, performance and assimilation of immigrants in Ireland. Data from the Census of Population of Ireland, 2006, is used. Three key themes are addressed: the labour market outcomes and performance of immigrants in Ireland; immigrant and gender equality in the Irish labour market; and the housing outcomes of immigrants in Ireland. Preliminary statistics show that immigrants in Ireland have favourable labour market characteristics. Utilising econometric estimation techniques, it is reported that, ceteris paribus, immigrants from NI, GB, EU 13 and USA are more likely, relative to the native population, of having occupational success (being employed in Professional, Managerial or Technical (PMT) jobs). Other immigrants report a very different labour market experience, where, positive labour market characteristics do not translate into occupational success. Others experience a structural disadvantage in the Irish labour market. All immigrants are less likely to be in self-employment, relative to natives. Education and subjects studied play a key role for immigrants' labour market integration and success. Employing equality adjusted proportions, it is reported that immigrants experience greater within group inequality than natives. This study paints the gender dimension of immigration in Ireland in a favourable light. Female immigrants do not appear to suffer from a double disadvantage in the Irish labour market.

Abstract:

Ethnonational movements have proliferated throughout the world since the American and French Revolutions first gave birth to the consciousness that every nation has a right to self-determination. Whether these ethnic-based nationalist movements are a new phenomenon which is rooted in the Industrial Era of Europe, or are just a recent stage in an ethnic struggle that began during the initial cultural contact between two ethnically different groups and has persisted ever since, determines the point at which an analyst will choose to begin his or her investigation. Ultimately, the selection of this starting point determines the conclusions drawn about the cause and nature of ethnonational movements. In this thesis, the exploration of Irish ethnonationalism begins in the twelfth century when the Anglo-Normans invaded Ireland. The formation and development of the Irish ethnic group is analyzed, and self-identification found to be the key criterion for determining group membership. As social cleavages between the "Irish" and "colonizer" hardened, institutions and structures emerged to maintain and reinforce the ethnic boundary between these two groups. The thesis concludes with a detailed analysis of the operation of one mechanism of self-segregation--separate education—using ethnographic data and autobiographical accounts of the childhood experiences of people who were born and raised in Northern Ireland. In this thesis, it is argued that Irish ethnic consciousness was brought into awareness when the invading Anglo-Normans threatened to dissolve into chaos the existing Gaelic social order. It is contended that the ethnic struggle in Ireland which began in the twelfth century and still persists today in Northern Ireland, has no single cause, but was and still is fundamentally a cultural conflict which continues to be fuelled by a long history of "remembered" grievances—cultural, political, and economic--most of which predate industrialization and the American and French Revolutions. This past is kept alive by the institutions, structures, and practices which maintain and reinforce the ethnic boundary between Catholics and Protestants in contemporary Northern Ireland, thus ensuring that the Irish nationalist movement will continue to have at its disposal a sharply defined ethnic group which it can mobilize when necessary, and from which it can recruit new members.

Full text

Abstract:

The period 1861-1914 was one of significant upheaval in Irish politics, culminating with the passage of the third Home Rule bill in 1912-14. This also coincided with a period of particular religious influence in British politics, known as the 'nonconformist conscience', whereby pressure was exerted on the government to act in manner consistent with evangelical Protestant principles. This study will explore Methodist responses to political developments in the between the first administration of William Gladstone in 1868 and the outbreak of th~ First Ã‚Â·World War in 1914. This will be achieved through the examination of a variety of primary sources: denominational newspapers; official documents; personal correspondence; and pamphlet literature. It will examine who were the Methodists of Ireland between 1868-1914, and how they reacted to outside pressure. This demographic analysis will reveal the strength of Methodism in Ireland, its geographical distribution and the electoral influence of its members. It will seek to explore the relationship between the Irish and British Methodist Connexions, both with regard to theological and ecclesiological developments and to their political outlook. It will challenge the view that there was a homogeneous Irish Protestant bloc with a unanimous political voice in the late nineteenth century. This will be done through particular reference to the Irish Church Act of 1868, the Education Act of 1870 and the three Home Rule crises of 1885, 1893, and 1912-14. The developing attitude of Irish Methodists to politics will be explored as they seek to resolve the tension between morality and politics and construct alliances to further their political vision.

Fay, Patrick Vincent. "Constitutionalising socio-economic rights in Ireland." Thesis, Queen's University Belfast, 2008. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.491882.

Full text

Abstract:

There is an antipathy to constitutionalising socio-economic rights in Ireland among' senior judges and politicians. The arguments advanced are based mainly on alleged differences between socio-economic rights and the traditionai civil and political rights. .An analysis shows that the distinction between social and economic rights and the traditional civil and political rights is not as simple as is often supposed. Further, the two sets ofrights are interdependent and indivisible. Most of the rights protected by the Constitution of Ireland are traditional civil and political rights. The socio-economic right to free primary education is enshrined in the Constitution ofIreland and has been the subject of much litigation in recent years. The Supreme Court regards itself as constrained in cases involving socio-economic rights by the doctrine of the separation of powers and the argument about the distortion of democracy (both based on the alleged character of socio-economic rights) and is prepared only in the most exceptional of cases to issue a mandatory order against the Government to enforce a socio-economic right. The views of the Constitution Review Group (1996) and of the Government are broadly similar to those of the Supreme Court. The arguments advanced against constitutionalisation are assessed and problems with the doctrine ofthe separation of powers evaluated. Accordingly, the arguments advanced by the judges, politicians and Constitution Review Group are rebutted, and the courts' role as guardians of constitutional rights emphasised. The influence of international instruments, principally that of the European Convention on Human Rights is analysed and some possible judicial remedies proposed. To demonstrate that such rights can be enforced judicially, the experience of the South African Constitutional Court in adjudicating entrenched socio-economic rights is examined. The conclusion is that in theory, as well as in practice, such rights can be enforced by the courts.

Abstract:

The aim of this research is to address the situation of transport disadvantage in Northern Ireland. The link. between transport disadvantage and social exclusion, namely the ability to access goods and services is a key public policy concern. Work in England and Scotland has identified the extent of the problem and some of the key patterns (DE~ 2000; Hine and Mitchell, 2001, 2003; Social Exclusion Unit, 2003). To date, limited research has been undertaken on this relationship in Northern Ireland. In 2000 the General Conswner Council (GCCNI) produced a short discussion document on transport disadvantage. This is problematic given the statements of concern in national transport strategy and planning docwnents (DRDNI, 1998, 2002). By and large, the relationship between transport and social exclusion is little understood by local authorities who are struggling to target resources at the problem (DETR, 1998). There is a clear need, therefore, to identify patterns of transport need. For the purposes of this thesis four case study areas at electoral ward level were selected. Focus group meetings and in-depth individual interviews within the rural community were carried out to explore the linkages between transport provision and lifestyle decisions. These were followed up by a target sample of 200 household surveys in each ward area, 200 secondary school surveys and 120 travel diary completions. The travel diaries have only been used in a supplementary capacity due to problems associated with incomplete returns. The key to detennining levels of transport disadvantage in the four case studies surrounded the link with gender, age group, level of household income and socioeconomic group. In this study, differences in travel experiences by gender were found to be minimal. Many females have access to a private car and are, thus accessing facilities, goods and services relatively easily. The issue of age group was found to be a more significant variable. While gender is not an issue, both males and females in the 25 to 59 age groups are the only groups who do not suffer in any way from transport disadvantage. lbis is due to the fact that the vast majority of respondents here are employed, own their own cars and are on relatively good household incomes. When younger and older respondents are considered, problems become more evident. The data presented shows that these groups are less likely to be able to drive or to have access to a private car, other than by relying on someone to give them lifts. These groups are also more liable to be on lower income levels resulting in less ability to buy and maintain their own transport, thus relying on public transport to meet their needs, something which proves problematic in the rural context.

Abstract:

During the last main phase of glaciations (26-13kaBP) an ice cap developed in south west Ireland and ice, from a dispersal centre in the vicinity of Kenmare, flowed north and diverged on the southern slopes of the Macgillycuddy’s Reeks. On these slopes, a weathering limit separates ice-moulded bedrock, on low ground, from frost-weathered terrain above. Assessment of bedrock dilation joint characteristics, Schmidt hammer R-value data, clay-sized mineral contents and magnetic properties of basal soil samples confirms significant contrasts in the degree of weathering above and below this limit. The weathering limit declines in altitude along former ice flow-lines and is confluent with morainic deposits on the eastern side of the Gap of Dunloe and on the western slopes of Skregbeg. This evidence supports the assertion that the high-level weathering limit is a periglacial trimline that marks the former maximum upper limit of the body of ice, which occupied this area of southwest Ireland during the LGM. This evidence, however, does not confute the notion that cold based, non-erosive plateau ice may have covered some or all of the upland surfaces that occur above the recorded weathering limits. Reconstruction of the former ice surface profile from periglacial trimline limits along three former flow lines yielded mean estimates for basal shear stress that ranged from 104.2 to 125.9 kPa. Although these values are high, they are within the range deemed normal for glaciers and ice sheets. The values suggest that the reconstructed areas of the ice cap were warm based and flowing on a bedrock substrate. This is supported by the geomorphological evidence of these areas, which shows that a landform – sediment association has developed consisting of zones of glacial scour and a thin, discontinuous drift cover. This contrasts with the glacial geomorphology of northern parts of the study area, where drift cover is largely continuous, and extensive in valley bottoms and on surrounding hillsides, and is associated with large lateral moraines.
