Abstract:
BackgroundStudies outside of Ireland have demonstrated that GPs believe point-of-care tests (POCTs) are useful and would like to have more of these tests available in daily practice. This study establishes the views of Irish GPs on this topic for the first time and also explores GPs’ perceptions of barriers to having POCT devices in primary care.AimTo establish Irish GPs' perception of the benefits and barriers to POCT use. Design & settingA quantitative cross-sectional observational survey of Irish GPs attending continuing medical educational meetings (CME) in November 2015. MethodData was collected using an anonymous and confidential questionnaire. ResultsOut of a total of 250, 70% of GPs (n = 143) completed the questionnaire. Of these, 92% (n = 132) indicated they would like to have access to POCTs. Guidance in decision making 43% (n = 61), reduced referral rates 29% (n = 42), and diagnosis assistance 13% (n = 18) were the main benefits expressed. Cost 45% (n = 64) and time 34% (n = 48) were the main barriers identified.ConclusionThis study proved that Irish GPs would also like increased access to POCTs. They feel that these tests would benefit patient care. Unsurprisingly, cost and time were two barriers identified to using POCT devices, which supports outcomes from studies. Radical changes would be required in primary care to facilitate implementation of POCTs and attention must be paid to how the costs of POCTs will be funded. This study may act as a prompt for future international research to further explore this area.

Abstract:
AbstractA Vision for Change, the report of the Expert Group on Mental Health Policy asserts as one of its key recommendations the enhancement and formalisation of links between specialist mental health services and primary care. As part of a higher training post in psychiatry a consultation-liaison service was provided by a senior registrar in three rural general practices. This paper describes the experience of this initiative from an educational perspective and discusses the broader implications for Irish psychiatric training. With an emerging emphasis on collaborative mental health care there needs to be an appreciation of the specific set of skills that psychiatry trainees must learn in order to be effective in primary care settings. The tandem development of the appropriate services and training in an Irish context will require dedicated funding and resources.

Abstract:
Although Irish theatre is often considered to be primarily a writer’s theatre, with its roots in a realist tradition, Irish theatre since 1960 has consistently challenged this definition through the work of its directors and designer. Whether in the case of Tomás Mac Anna’s work at the Abbey in the mid-1960s, Joe Dowling’s production ofJuno and the Paycock, or the collaborative work of Patrick Mason with writer Tom MacIntyre and actor Tom Hickey in the 1980s, contemporary Irish theatre has equally been shaped by its directors. Likewise, although less heralded, designers such as Bronwen Casson, Frank Conway, Wendy Shea, Joe Vanek, and Robert Ballagh played a crucial role in the development of a contemporary Irish theatre. This chapter considers their work, focusing on key examples from influential productions.

Abstract:
While in almost all competitive political systems parties are omnipotent at elections, in Ireland independents (non-party MPs) remain significant players. At the Irish general election in 2016, independents won 23 of the 157 contested seats, proportionally the highest level of elected independent representation in the national parliament of any established democracy since 1950, and more than the combined total in all other industrial democracies. Not only have independents in Ireland persisted, but they have also had a significant political impact. Regularly holding the balance of power as kingmakers in hung parliaments where no party or coalition has an overall majority, independents have been able to use this position to extract policy influence. The purpose of the book is to examine and explain this persistence of the independent phenomenon in a stable party democracy. With Ireland as the primary case, but also using comparative data, it assesses how and why independents can endure in a democracy that is one of the oldest surviving in Europe and has historically had one of the most stable party systems. The central premise is that it is due to the permissiveness of the Irish political system, in terms of a conducive political culture and institutions, electoral record and key relevance, which all combine to facilitate independents’ emergence.

Abstract:
Prisons in Ireland and the United Kingdom went into lockdown as the risk of mass transmission of COVID-19 became apparent in early 2020. A health catastrophe was averted, but at considerable human cost: prisoners were confined to their cells for most of the day and communal activity and visits ceased. It is tempting to think that the pandemic has impacted indiscriminately but community outcomes have revealed significant variance. This book tests the hypothesis that this was also the case in prisons by reviewing how male adult prisoners from Black, Asian and minority ethnic communities, Irish Travelling and Roma communities and foreign national prisoners experienced lockdown in Irish and United Kingdom prisons. Drawing primarily on inspection reports and a series of interviews with those working with these prisoners, the book details how particular aspects of lockdown were especially harsh for prisoners from these groups. Innovative measures were introduced to mitigate the worst effects of

Abstract:
New media and the new communication spaces they bring are often heralded as revolutionary contexts of language use. This chapter aims to look beyond this hype to consider the effects of this recent context of use on existing language policy theory. An initial case study is Facebook and its Translations application, which I examine using virtual ethnographic methods. In this context, the commercial entity Facebook and the individuals of the Irish language Translations application are the primary language policy actors, developing the de facto language policy of this domain and affecting the multilingual World Wide Web. It is concluded that commercial entities, technological developments, and individuals are not merely agents or actors in language policy processes. Instead, the author adopts the concepts of media convergence, participatory culture, and collective intelligence to understand how media producers and consumers act in new and unpredictable ways in language policy processes online.

Abstract:
Irish women provided significant support to the Allied forces during the First World War. 4,500 Irish nurses offered medical care and support to British and Allied troops, serving in war hospitals on foreign battlefields and across Britain and Ireland. This chapter investigates the role of Belfast’s three major hospitals in caring for war casualties. It focuses on the nurses engaged in providing care and the broader impact of nursing shortages on hospital work, significantly advancing understandings of twentieth-century Irish nursing. Drawing upon a diverse range of primary sources, the chapter traces the nurses’ social origins, religious backgrounds, motivations for enlisting, experiences of providing care and post-conflict careers. Uniquely, the chapter also offers a detailed account of the defining characteristics of the hospitals that provided care for war causalities, how their new wartime functions impacted on their administrative and practical running and also how war work shaped the future careers of the staff employed there.

Abstract:
Primary care involves collaboration by diverse, geographically dispersed health professionals, and presents unique challenges for IT. In Ireland, cross-disciplinary primary care teams are being established and extensive IT support is planned, including shared electronic patient records. To uncover factors that affect the implementation and use of IT in primary care, in-depth interviews were conducted with Irish primary care practitioners and IT specialists. The results suggest a widespread belief in the potential of IT to transform service delivery. However, substantial business change will also be needed to address longstanding process problems, barriers to information sharing, and a lack of integration. At present, health practitioners lack the time, knowledge, and resources to make best use of new IT. While progress at the national level has been slow, a regional or local approach to IT provision, with appropriate standards to facilitate information sharing, may offer better chances of success.

Abstract:
This chapter examines the role of Ireland’s British Army doctors in treating the wounded in the three primary conflicts in Ireland from 1916 to 1923: the Easter Rising (April 1916), Irish War of Independence (January 1919 to July 1921) and Irish Civil War (June 1922 to May 1923). As part of their wartime duties within the British Army, a contingent of Irish doctors tended to those wounded in the Easter Rising, including separatist Irish nationalists. Ex-Royal Army Medical Corps officers from Ireland also became professionally immersed in the War of Independence and the Civil War. As these wars transpired, many of the Irish doctors enlisted in the RAMC on temporary commissions for the duration of the First World War demobilised and returned to Ireland. Subsequently, some of these men provided health care to wounded IRA members and, later, to the Irish National Army.

Abstract:
As well as the economic collapse affecting health spending, two related developments are shaping Irish nursing. First, health-system restructuring with a policy goal to shift resources and services into primary care. Second, the development of specialist and advanced nursing roles. A recent report commended Ireland’s all-graduate entry to nursing model. The meta-theoretical perspectives and underlying tenets of integrative nursing are familiar to Irish nursing scholars, as exemplified in the “Careful Nursing” philosophy and practice model. Recent critical scholarship highlights a growing awareness of the long-term consequences for the profession of being unable to articulate a distinct nursing disciplinary perspective.

Abstract:
This chapter provides an extended look at health politics and the largely tax-financed health system in Ireland. It traces the historical development of the Irish healthcare system, characterized by the institutionalization of a health service that obliged and incentivized the middle classes to pay for their healthcare, out-of-pocket or through voluntary private health insurance. Since the late 1980s, the hospital sector has become more privatized, while universal coverage has been partially introduced to the primary sector. While center-right government legislation which institutionalized the treatment of private patients in public hospitals elicited strong parliamentary opposition from across the political spectrum, the fiscal incentivization of private hospital development, introduced by a center-right coalition, was subject to little debate. The most significant turning point in healthcare policy since 1989 has been the removal of means-testing and provision of free general practitioner care to the under-6s and the over-70s. Cross-party consensus on a plan to move towards a universal tax-based healthcare system was reached in 2017.

Abstract:
Thomas Murray’s chapter draws on a critical social theory of law and a range of qualitatively rich primary sources to incorporate heretofore neglected social movement voices into a more complex account of constitutional development in Ireland. The chapter concentrates on the political practices and discourses at stake in a single moment of conflict when property rights were contested from below, specifically the squatting campaigns of the Dublin Housing Action Committee (D.H.A.C.) in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Murray aims to open up a broader terrain of debate about constitutional development and judicial power in Ireland than conventional studies of case-law, legislation or parliamentary politics would suggest.

Abstract:
The introduction sets out the central aims of the book: to offer a fresh analysis of the factors that sustained violent conflict and prevented a peace settlement in Northern Ireland for so long and to elaborate the distinctive features of negotiations conducted in secret. It describes the approach taken in the book and argues that violence and negotiation must be analysed together as part of a single process of conflict transformation. It sets out the value of existing work on civil wars, contentious politics, and wartime political orders in analysing negotiation in the case of Northern Ireland. The Northern Ireland conflict provides a revelatory case of back-channel negotiation. It is one of the few conflicts for which there is extensive, reliable primary documentation of clandestine engagement through an intermediary, and this chapter introduces the unique sources on which the book draws. These include private papers, government archives, and interviews with Irish republicans, British and Irish civil servants, the key intermediary, and others.

Abstract:
Chapter 4 provides an overview of the role played by migration in creating the Church of Ireland and its body of adherents. It discusses the manner in which secular Protestants derived great benefit from their religion and the manner in which they came to emphasize religious ‘reliability’ as a touchstone of loyalty, and the central role of the rebellion of 1641 in developing Irish Protestants’ understanding of their situation and role in Ireland. The chapter demonstrates the profoundly migratory character of Early Modern Irish Protestantism and the manner in which its leadership was dominated primarily by British-born bishops and then secondarily by New English migrants, to the almost complete exclusion of figures of native provenance. As a result, both the church and its community acquired a migrant stamp which contributed to its evangelical inefficacy in Ireland.
