Abstract:
Abstract This article explores the first academic study on the housing crisis on Ireland’s offshore islands through a case study of the experiences and views of islanders on the West Cork islands. The paper covers the risk which the current housing crisis in Ireland represents for the ability of the West Cork islands, already susceptible to depopulation, to retain the next generation of existing inhabitants and attract newcomers. Through a participatory research project conducted between October 2021 and November 2022, the article reveals the challenges facing the West Cork islands in terms of housing affordability, availability and quality, and how these impact on the sustainability of island living. It also documents innovative policies and initiatives that islanders would like policymakers to implement to ensure the housing crisis is addressed and full-time populations on the islands are secured and sustained. The article concludes by reflecting on the recent National Islands Policy 2023–2033 in light of the current study.

Abstract The paper considers Belfast as an ‘island city’ with reference to issues of identity and economy and especially in connection with a series of statements from the ‘Futures of Islands’ briefing document prepared for the IGU’s Commission on Islands meeting in Kraków in August 2014. Belfast as a contested space, a hybrid British/Irish city on the island of Ireland, exemplifies well how ‘understandings of the past condition the future’, whilst the Belfast Agreement which brought the Northern Ireland peace process to its culmination after decades of violence known as the ‘Troubles’ speaks to ‘island ways of knowing, of comprehending problems - and their solutions’. Finally, Belfast certainly demonstrates that ‘island peoples shape their contested futures’

Abstract:
The Irish offshore islands have been losing population for many decades. Their remaining inhabitants face difficulties in competing in most economic sectors against larger scale mainland producers with smaller transport and other costs. Thus islanders have often turned to the service sector to aid their economy. One asset is the islands' heritage, often relicts of an Ireland no longer extant in more accessible areas. Some islands have heritages that are cherished but they relate to landmasses now no longer occupied. Should the heritage of the still-populated islands be exploited as a valuable economic resource or should it instead be protected, celebrated but not exposed to the dangers and falseness of overexposure to the tourist gaze? However, the latter strategy might have a damaging economic cost. The article explores this issue in relation to a number of the islands off Ireland's west coast.

This contribution to the theme of ‘Scotland and the Two Irelands’ looks to the relationships within these islands, east and west as well as north and south, with particular reference to Scotland and Northern Ireland. It looks to the more pluralistic circumstances and ideas of the 1990s – not least as personified in the landmark work of Bernard Crick - and considers whether revisiting these would offer new possibilities in managing relationships across these islands.

Full text
Abstract:
The northern pademelon (Thylogale browni) is a small to medium-sized macropodid that is native to northern and central New Guinea, but is also found on some of the islands of the Bismarck Archipelago, such as New Britain, New Ireland and Lavongai, where it appears to have been introduced. In New Ireland, archaeological evidence indicates that it may have been introduced by prehistoric human agency c. 7,000 years ago. In the chain of islands that constitutes New Ireland Province, historical evidence indicates that the species also recently occurred in the Tabar, Lihir, Tanga and Feni island groups prior to undergoing a series of local extinctions and range contractions during the first half of the 20th century. Furthermore T. browni also appears to have declined on New Ireland and Lavongai, where it is now restricted to the remote mountainous interior. Much of the sudden range contraction coincided with the Pacific War (1942-1945), during which time blockaded Japanese troops confiscated local food produce. It is postulated that the privations of war led to an extended period of over-hunting which drove the species into local extinction in much of its former range. Furthermore, since the war, ongoing human pressures and a breakdown in the traditional ethnozoological translocation / re-stocking regimes which would normally have re-introduced this species to satellite islands, appears to have prevented T. browni from regaining its former widespread distribution in the New Ireland Province Archipelago.

AbstractThis article describes the results of a research project carried out over a period of 25 years on the spoken Irish Gaelic of the Aran Islands, Co. Galway, Ireland. It combines microdialectology with sociolinguistics and investigates a wide range of phonological, grammatical, and lexical variables. In addition to revealing complex patterns of geolinguistic variation involving small local areas on the main island and on neighboring islands, it also shows the clear influence of age, gender, and individual creativity on the patterns of variation.

Full text
Abstract:
The study of islands in archaeology was originally biased toward the view that island societies were isolated, a stereotype that continues to be perpetuated in books and television. However, recent research has acknowledged that island societies are generally part of a network and exposed to outside influences. This paper applies island theory to the Northern and Western Isles of Scotland, specifically during the Norse settlement from the 9th century AD onward. Although today these areas are considered on the periphery of Britain, these islands were once at the heart of the Norse settlement of the North Atlantic. The settlement remains of the period in the Northern and Western Isles indicate the inhabitants kept their focus towards the sea, and their success as a central stop-over point within the North Atlantic zone is due partly to the fact that they are islands. This paper will examine to what extent the Northern and Western Isles fit into modern island theory and whether the Norse considered them islands. The paper finishes with a discussion of whether the British Isles and Ireland are, from a theoretical point of view, islands.

Full text
Abstract:
The distribution and taxonomy of varanid lizards occurring in the Bismarck Archipelago is revised on the basis of field surveys, examination of museum vouchers and molecular phylogenetic analyses. A total of four species is recorded: Varanus indicus and Varanus finschi on New Britain and some of its offshore islands, Varanus douarrha on New Ireland, Lavongai and Djaul, and Varanus semotus on Mussau Island. V. douarrha, previously mistaken for both V. indicus and V. finschi, is shown to be the only species represented on New Ireland and is here resurrected as a valid taxon based on an integrated approach combining morphological and molecular evidence. Phylogenetic analyses of two mitochondrial genes suggest that V. indicus is a relatively recent immigrant to the Bismarck Islands, whereas V. douarrha, V. finschi and V. semotus have significantly longer histories in the island group. Together with the recently described V. semotus the revalidation of V. douarrha doubles the number of species known to occur in the Bismarck region and highlights an important component of both local and regional endemism.

Full text
Abstract:
The focus of the paper is an engagement with the significance of the exploitation of stone sources to make objects, particularly stone axe heads on islands in northwest Europe during the Neolithic period (4000 – 2500 BC). Case studies of Lambay Island in the Irish Sea, Rathlin Island off the northeast coast of Ireland, and the Shetland Islands explore the use of these three stone sources through the archaeological record, examining the biographies of objects (from quarries, through use, to discard or deposition) and applying a range of approaches to understanding material culture. What emerges is an understanding of the central role these three lithic sources played in how people engaged with and created their island places and landscapes. Through their daily engagement with different stone sources (including the ones focused on here) at a range of scales, people created and sustained social relationships and conventions. Hence it is argued that stone artefacts from local sources played a special role in shaping identities on the three islands.

Full text
Abstract:
This publication takes the form of a written version of my inaugural lecture, which was presented at Queen’s University Belfast on 10 March 2010. It is more personal and considerably more self-indulgent than would normally be acceptable in an article, with more of my own experiences and also my own references than would usually be considered proper. However, the bestowal of such a title as Professor of Island Geography is something of a marker of the maturity not just of me but maybe also for island studies. After a section describing my path into island geography, the lecture deals with the negativities of islands and the seeming futility of studying them, only then to identify a new or at least enhanced regard for islands as places with which to interact and to examine. Reference is made to islands throughout the world, but with some focus on the small islands off Ireland. The development of island studies as a discipline is then briefly described before the lecture concludes with reference to its title quotation on St Helena by considering that place’s islandness and how this affected/affects it in both the 17th and 21st centuries.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis presents an archaeological survey of 12 islands off the north coast of Ireland in the· post~medieval period (1700-1847). The islands included are located from Rathlin off County Antrim, west to Tory and south to Inishfree Upper off County Donegal.·It seeks to achieve an understanding of the process of social and landscape change in the ei~hteenth and early nineteenth centuries as well as the motivating factors behind these transformations. During the course of fieldwork 338 archaeological sites were recorded (volume II). In addition, a limited programme of geophysical survey and diver inspection was undertaken. The sites represent a wide range of activities reflective of island life in the Age of Improvement. There is a pronounced maritime focus in the survey, including kelp processing sites, boat landing places and shelters, and fishing practises. Wider landscape issues include changes to field systems, evolving settlement patterns and the architectural features of vernacular and estate houses.

Kirby, Ann M. "Dietary patterns on the island of Ireland." Thesis, University of Ulster, 2011. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.558833.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis: 1. develops an operational definition of the concept of a dietary pattern 2. employs this to explain the relationship between household characteristics and the nutritional status of its food consumption 3. identifies potential policy levers to improve national diet. The study is an attempted synthesis of economic and nutritional analysis. The nutritionist approach is to statistically group patterns of consumption using some form of cluster analysis. The household characteristics of the members of the resulting groups are then established by regression analysis. Such a two step approach fails to acknowledge the constraints faced by households, particularly in relation to income. A poor diet is thus established purely by an assessment of nutritional content, irrespective of whether this is due to low income, a lack of information or cultural factors. The economic analysis of diet is based upon the Engel curve. The advantage of this approach is that it highlights how income can constrain the dietary outcomes. The limitations are that social and cultural factors are ignored. Augmenting the Engel curve by household characteristics is explored but the results are difficult to interpret and have little policy content. Therefore this thesis uses Latent Class Cluster Analysis (LCA) to attempt a synthesis of the economic and nutritional approaches. The Engel curve is central but is allowed to vary between groups of consumers where group membership is estimated by household characteristics; household income is not employed in the cluster analysis. Group membership is estimated simultaneously with the parameters of the Engel curve of the group.

Abstract:
Objectivity and neutrality of current makers of online maps is hampered by the fact that the most important of them who form the public opinion are largely commercial giants. Sensitivity of approaches is desirable especially in specific situations involving territorial disputes. The textual part of the thesis brings theoretical insights to the problematics of map makers policies and their preservation or violation. At the same time is describes critical cartography as a current opposition against governmental and cooperative mapping, of which counter-mapping processes are regularly used in art, too. Practical outcome attempts to reflect specific approaches of map makers depending on particular territorial disputes. It takes place mostly in online environment, using the functions of Google Street View or Google Earth and forms of counter-mapping on the OSM platform. The goal is to bring alternative realities complicating map makers policies and governing apparatus to map projects with the international coverage.

Drummond, Anthony. "Irish travellers and the criminal justice systems across the island of Ireland." Thesis, University of Ulster, 2007. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.491168.

Full text
Abstract:
This study is influenced by Foucault's (1980) philosophy of the technologies of power, aiming to discipline, punish and subjugate certain groups within society via dividing practices. As Irish Travellers' perceptions of, and experiences with, criminal justice and its agencies across the island of Ireland are examined, this work emphasises the ways in which in many cases they remain divided from fully participating in 21 st Century sedentary society, unlike the majority of their settled counterparts. Until completion of this work, little was known about the situation of Travellers with criminal justice across the island of Ireland. Consequently, the major contribution that this research makes tonomadology is its investigation of the ways in which Travellers are divided by policies which are discordant between states across the island of Ireland. The ways in which certain sections of the media and many members of the public can also be implicated in the division ofTravellers within sedentary society are also underscored. Largely, the method of investigation was qualitative in nature, involving semi-structured interviews. The conceptual framework of this thesis was underpinned by investigating the concept of sedentarism, being 'that system ofideas and practices which serves to normalise and reproduce sedentary modes of existence' (McVeigh, 1997: 9). The research was also influenced by the concept that crime can be socially constructed, begging a need to explore 'the active and intentional incitement of fear and hatred of nomads' (McVeigh, 1997: 9) alleged to be intrinsic to sedentarism. Principally, the argument outlined throughout this study is that like any other ethnic/racial groups, Irish Travellers should be able to integrate whilst maintaining specific ethnic boundaries if they so choose. However, this research makes clear that with regards to any notion of integrating in the manner just intimated, Irish Travellers face an invidious dichotomy with regards to their socia-legal positions which, due to adherence to human rights principles in Northern Ireland, appear to be stronger there than is the case in the Republic of Ireland.

Full text
Abstract:
Out-of-home (OH) eating has been identified as one of the many contributing factors to obesity because of its increasing association with higher energy intakes. In Irish children in 2003,77% ate OH with their families at least once per week. Therefore, the aim of this thesis was to assess the role and impact of OH eating on children's diets to inform future measures that could support healthier OH food choices. National nutrition and health related policies (/155) were reviewed for guidelines on providing healthier OH food for children in the private sector. Few policies considered the private sector and those that did predominantly highlighted the impliance of providing nutrition information for consumers. Analysis of children' s menus (/1106) in the private sector revealed a paucity of healthier items for children, however this may reflect consumer demand. Subsequent discussions with parents (24 focus groups) and children (48 friendship pairs) showed that eating in the private sector was mainly viewed as a treat for families and nutritional quality was not a priority in food choice decisions. Parents also provided insight into facilitators that may improve the nutritional quality of food targeted specifically at children. Primary schools (/120) were more likely than post-primary schools (n10; P

Full text
Abstract:
Waste to Energy (WTE) is a viable and vital resource to Ireland. Due to its geographic location, strategically located between the U.S. and Europe, Ireland has inherent advantages when it comes to gaining technical knowledge. As an island country with its size it has exaggerated waste elimination problems. Power generation in Ireland is distorted by the size of the island and Irelands recent high-tech business boom has had an affect too. These two items, power and waste, overlap and can be addressed (in part) with one solution. Products not produced in Ireland are imported. The residue of these products is garbage. Therefore the garbage is constantly being imported to the island and never expelled. Landfill space in Ireland is diminishing — rapidly. “Not in my backyard!” is a principal attitude of the public and with good reason. Refuse is a health threat. Landfill tax legislation is changing and the price is rising to €19/tonne and heading for €32/tonne. Converting waste to energy as part of a recycling process garnishes public support because the resource of rubbish is managed in a manner that appeals to common sense. It is a solution that takes into account the public health and providence of the island. If waste is sorted and classified as economically recyclable (i.e. marketable) it is reclaimed and reused. If waste is sorted and classified as economically un-recyclable by conventional methods it is then evaluated for its energy value in power generation and thermal conversion to basic elemental products. The classification process determines the value of waste products, therefore the economic implications of their use either by recycling the waste and thermally eliminating it while generating electricity and/or by producing recycled products. This paper presents a waste recycling/generation project concept that includes waste stream separation, refuse-derived fuels, waste gasification/generation and renewable power resource integration.

Abstract:
After many decades of study, two wave energy conversion systems have been shown to be the most effective in producing either electricity or potable water at remote location, such as the over 100,000 inhabited islands of the world. Those systems are the McCabe Wave Pump (MWP) and the Backward Bent Duct Barge (BBDB). Both of these are floating systems with well defined missions for remote locations. The BBDB is primarily designed to provide electricity, while the MWP's primary mission is to provide potable water. Both systems are resonant systems, in that they are designed to operate most efficiently in the neighborhoods of specific wave periods. In random seas, the operational ranges of each are within the half-power bandwidth of the center band resonant periods. The BBDB is an oscillating water column system in which a horizontal column of water, with its mouth facing aft and its internal free,-surface facing upward through a 90° bend at the bow of the floating structure, excites a pneumatic turbogenerator above the internal free-surface by the wave-induced motions of the water column. In other words, the water column acts as a flexible piston. The MWP is a mechanical-hydraulic system which provides high-pressure, pre-treated water to reverse osmosis desalination systems by the motions of hinged barges. The BBDB is now operational in Japan and China, while a prototype of the MWP is now deployed in the Shannon Estuary in Ireland. The operations of these two systems, as related to the hull dynamics, are discussed.

Abstract:
Ireland has been called the Silicon Valley of Europe. Like the Silicon Valley in the U.S. it has a large amount of waste created by the Microchip Industry. Ireland is also an agricultural country. A large amount of bio-waste has been stockpiled in Ireland. This is the result of recent outbreaks/epidemics of animal diseases in the EU. The current growth industry of Ireland is the chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturing industry. Nine of the top ten pharmaceutical companies are manufacturing in Ireland. Wastes from these industries are often toxic and hazardous. They can contain large amounts of combustible organic compounds depending on their source. Since Ireland is an island it has special problems disposing of waste. Waste comes in as products as packaging and it doesn’t go out. The emerging solution is Incineration. Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) can contain many forms of metal and chemistry under normal conditions. When a large amount of the primary industry of a region is chemistry based and agricultural based there is the probability of more than usual amount of toxic residue in the refuse. The ash from incineration contains items such as dioxins & heavy metals that are environmental toxins. Using a Plasma Pyrolysis Vitrification (PPV) process the volume of the resultant ash from incineration can be further reduced by as much as 30 to 1. A PPV process has an added advantage of giving an incineration facility the capability of rendering ash safe for reuse as construction material and as a side benefit reclaiming many valuable elemental components of the ash. The PPV plant can be used to destroy waste directly and economically as long as the gate fees are high. One byproduct of incinerator ash smelting/destruction using a PPV process is CO gas, a combustible fuel resource for power generation. Precious metals may also be reclaimed as an alloy material by-product.

Abstract:
This report “Real-time data to central server with display to stakeholders” describes the deployment of two monitoring stations at the aquaculture facilities at Deenish Island (Ireland) and El Campello (Spain), and how the real-time data is distributed to the different stakeholders in the aquaculture industry and the scientific community. The document is structured as follows. First, the background information is presented in the ‘Introduction’. Then, the equipment deployed at Deenish Island and El Campello is described in the ‘Ocean Demonstrator Deployments’ section. Finally, the different ways in which the real-time data is delivered to the stakeholders are presented in the last section ‘Data Delivery to Server’. (EuroSea Deliverable, D6.7)

Abstract:
This report presents steps for the design and implementation of a marine observatory providing current and forecasted oceanic conditions relevant to the aquaculture sector, with particular focus on “Extreme Marine Events”. Examples of successful implementation of these guidelines in the framework of the EuroSea project are presented for two aquaculture sites: Deenish Island in Ireland and El Campello in Spain. The process starts with stakeholder interaction to understand their main needs and concerns and is followed by the design of the software architecture that carries out the data acquisition, post-processing and visualisation in an open-access web platform. User feedback is of paramount importance during the whole process to ensure the services offered match the needs of the aquaculture sector. (EuroSea Deliverable, D6.3)
