The Research reported on in this article was commissioned by the Commission
to Inquire into Child Abuse (CICA).

For background see
Commission to Inquire into Child Abuse 2009, Report (The Ryan Report), The
Stationery Office, Dublin.

Of the sample of 247, 246 had given evidence to the Commission - the extra
person was a sibling of a person who had given evidence and who asked to be
included in this research.

The article concludes

'The abuse suffered by participants in this study could have
been prevented if adequate legislation for the protection of children's
rights in the Republic of Ireland had been in place, and
if this were supported by appropriate child protection policies and
practices. Such measures would have included criteria
about the quality of child care essential for registration of reformatories
and industrial schools, the rigorous inspection of
such institutions on a regular basis, the use of sanctions where
institutions failed to meet adequate standards, child-centred
procedures for responding constructively to allegations of abuse, and the
prosecution of perpetrators of institutional abuse.
The implementation of such measures is a critical implication of the present
study.'

Abstract

Objective
To document the adult adjustment of survivors of childhood institutional
abuse.

Method
Two hundred and forty-seven adult survivors of institutional abuse with a
mean age of 60 were interviewed with a protocol that included the Childhood
Trauma Questionnaire, modules from the Structured Clinical Interview for
Axis I Disorders of DSM IV and the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM IV
Personality Disorders, the Trauma Symptom Inventory, and the Experiences in
Close Relationships Inventory.

Results
The prevalence of psychological disorders among adult survivors of
institutional abuse was over 80% and far higher than in the normal
population, with anxiety, mood and substance use disorders being the most
prevalent diagnoses. Survivors also had high rates of trauma symptoms and
insecure adult attachment styles, and these were higher for those who had
experienced both institutional and intrafamilial abuse.

Conclusions
There was an association between the experience of institutional abuse in
childhood and the prevalence of adult mental health problems, particularly
anxiety, mood and substance use disorders.

Practice implications
Policies, practices and procedures should be regularly reviewed and revised
to maximize protection of young people in institutional care. Evidence-based
psychological treatment should be made available to adult survivors of
institutional abuse.

A History of Irish Economic Thought
Edited by Thomas Boylan, Renee Prendergast, John Turner

ISBN: 978-0-415-42340-3
Publish Date: 30th July 2010
Imprint: Routledge

For a country that can boast a distinguished tradition of political economy
from Sir William Petty through Swift, Berkeley, Hutcheson, Burke and
Cantillon through to that of Longfield, Cairnes, Bastable, Edgeworth, Geary
and Gorman, it is surprising that no systematic study of Irish political
economy has been undertaken.

In this book the contributors redress this glaring omission in the history
of political economy, for the first time providing an overview of
developments in Irish political economy from the seventeenth to the
twentieth century. Logistically this is achieved through the provision of
individual contributions from a group of recognized experts, both Irish and
international, who address the contribution of major historical figures in
Irish political economy along the analysis of major thematic issues, schools
of thought and major policy debates within the Irish context over this
extended period.

(I was lucky, but I know a fair number of Irish in this evolutionary =

My father certainly had a distinctive walk as do his two brothers.
They live in Donegal and, yes, are hill farmers. None of my father's
children has such a walk nor do any of my cousins via my father's
sisters (some with Donegal families on both sides) however these
cousins are all from major Cities (Leeds for example). My father also
walked very fast, so fast that I couldn't keep up with him even when I
was in my teens and fit and he was in his late forties and early
fifties. Having been out on the moors and mountains with my father and
my uncles I can attest that their gait was very suited to the terrain
and the speed of walking, to my mind, reflected learning to walk long
distances quickly as a child in pre-motorised rural Ireland where
going out for a dance might entail walking five miles there and five
miles back (and having walked in to Donegal Town a few times I can
attest that being able to walk quickly would have been an advantage).

Recovering Hibernia

This collection, emanating from the Centre for Neo-Latin Studies at
University College Cork, is most welcome in bringing more of this =
group's
findings to a wider audience. Taking their title with reference to =
Nicholas
Canny's study, _Making Ireland British 1580-1640 _(2001), the editors =
have
here gathered essays that demonstrate recourse to a competing source of
authority and identity in Ireland's early modern period: _Romanitas. _As
Jason Harris and Keith Sidwell note in their introduction, _Romanitas
_"carried a rich sense of endowment for both Protestant writers
participating in the notion of British imperial _Romanitas _and Catholic
writers engaging with the historical and spiritual universalism of the =
Roman
Church" (p. 11). The sources explored by the collection's contributors,
however, reveal "ambivalence in the concept of _Romanitas_," and therein
resides the depth and wealth of the collection (p. 11). Spanning the =
period
of intensified English domination over the sixteenth and seventeenth
centuries, the subjects of these essays trace the evolving and sometimes
conflicting definition and employment of _Romanitas_, in both its =
Catholic
and classical guises,_ _by Gaelic and Old English writers alike as a =
counter
to Rome as model for British colonialism.

In addition to the use of Latin and classical rhetoric, a number of =
other
themes, such as collection practices, are carried through the essays,
supplying a cohesiveness not always evident in essay collections. =
Several
essays consider the same authors, notably Richard Stanihurst and Philip
O'Sullivan Beare, providing even greater contextualization for the
individuals, texts, and issues under consideration. While the collection
should certainly be essential reading for historians and literary =
scholars
of early modern Ireland, it will also be of considerable importance to
scholars of early modern Europe more broadly. It offers novel studies =
and
perspectives that affirm not only that Ireland was influenced =
substantially
by such European developments as Renaissance humanism, but also that =
Ireland
in turn has much to offer studies of this period. This is demonstrated
admirably in the first two essays considered below.

Elizabethanne Boran considers Archbishop James Ussher's collection
activities as he participated in a "network of scholarship in the =
Republic
of letters," grounding him within European-wide practices and contacts =
that
straddled confessional networks (p. 183). Boran works closely with =
Ussher's
correspondence to emphasize that attention to the relationships that
developed between collectors is important in delineating the role that
"religious fault lines" could also play as works were shared (p. 183).
Diarmaid =D3 Cath=E1in's essay provides an excellent complement to =
Boran's,
similarly considering collection activities and continental contacts and
experience essential to the exchange of manuscripts, but here from the
perspective of the Gaelic community. Muiris =D3 Ficheallaigh is but one =
of the
individuals =D3 Cath=E1in considers whose careers reflect extensive =
travel and
increasingly influential positions. =D3 Ficheallaigh, for instance, =
began as
student at Oxford before attaining respect as a scholar in Padua and =
Venice,
after which he returned to Ireland as archbishop of Tuam in 1506 (pp.
19-20). =D3 Cath=E1in's essay is also welcome for its detailed =
consideration of
the heretofore little studied but often-remarked upon library list for =
the
8th and 9th Earls of Kildare, rare as one of the very few extant library
lists from this period in Ireland. The Kildare library rivaled many in =
its
reflection of Renaissance texts, including Juvenal, Vergil, and =
Boccaccio,
among others. =D3 Cath=E1in adroitly employs this information to =
emphasize that
Renaissance tastes, as well as Florentine ancestry and contacts, were as
important to Kildare identity as their powerful connections in the =
English
and Gaelic worlds.

Another powerful Old English noble, Thomas Butler, 10th Earl of Ormond,
serves as the focus of Sidwell and David Edwards' essay on Dermot =
O'Meara's
1615 poem _Ormonius_. Ormond's age and failing health compounded the
subsequent threat to his family's traditional position as new policies =
came
into play following Elizabeth's death and the end of the Nine Years' =
War. To
"arrest the Butlers' declining reputation and to help restore the family =
to
its rightful glory as Ireland's premier noble dynasty," Ormond =
commissioned
O'Meara's composition of the _Ormonius _(p. 66). Writing in Latin, and
applying classical references and models to Gaelic literary forms, =
O'Meara
utilized the medium of published poetry to secure Ormond's legacy.

The threatened status of the Old English community runs throughout =
several
essays, encapsulated in the person of Stanihurst. Stanihurst exemplifies =
the
declining position that confronted many of the Old English as well as =
the
competing purposes to which classical learning could be put. Following =
his
self-imposed exile from Ireland in 1581, Stanihurst spent time in the =
Low
Countries before making his way to Spain in late 1591. His time at the
University of Leiden brought him into contact with the Dutchman Justus
Lipsius, one of Europe's leading humanists. Colm Lennon's essay explores
their exchange of letters written in 1592 at a "critical juncture" in =
both
men's careers (p. 57). As Lennon demonstrates, the friendship that =
developed
between them was fundamental to the professional and spiritual =
development
of each. Stanihurst is also addressed in John Barry's essay which offers =
a
comparative reading of passages in two of Stanihurst's works--his
"Description of Ireland" (1577), incorporated into Raphael Holinshed's
_Chronicles_, and his later _De Rebus in Hibernia Gestis (1584)--_with =
both
the text and images in John Derricke's _Image of Irelande_ (1581). =
Arguing
that Stanihurst's "Description" influenced Derricke's _Image _and that
Derricke's _Image _in turn influenced Stanihurst's _De Rebus_,_ _Barry
demonstrates an engagement between the authors that accounts =
specifically
for the nature of episodes they chose to consider. Among many other
examples, Barry notes that Stanihurst's description of horseboys in _De
Rebus _"reads almost like an explication of" the image of horseboys in =
the
first plate that accompanied Derricke's work, and suggests further that
Stanihurst had _The Image of Irelande _in front of him as he wrote (p. =
41).
Stanihurst figures prominently yet again in an accomplished essay by =
Harris.
Here Stanihurst represents the deployment of classical learning in the
service of colonialism as countered by Stephen White, a =
seventeenth-century
Old English Jesuit representative of an element within the Old English =
now
labeled _nua Gaedhil_,_ _or New Irish. Harris considers White's =
_Apologiae
_(the first composed ca. 1611-13, the second likely in the 1630s) in =
which
White attacks both Stanihurst and Giraldus Cambrensis, staple sources =
for
English denigrations of the Irish, with an eloquent and an exceptionally
advanced display of classical learning and rhetoric.

White was not alone in deploying classical training to challenge the
legitimacy of English colonial claims and behavior, as the essays by =
Gr=E1inne
McLaughlin, David Caulfield, and Hiram Morgan demonstrate. As McLaughlin
notes in her essay, the _Commentarius Rinuccinianus _(composed 1661-66,
published 1932-49) turned the table on the colonial rhetoric of cultural
superiority. It was in fact the "civilized" who "speak Latin and Irish,"
demonstrated by a close reading of invective verse from the =
_Commentarius
_that drew on Vergil and Ovid among others (p. 155). O'Sullivan Beare
similarly utilized classical learning to challenge English domination,
notably in the _Zoilomastix _(composed ca. 1626) where, like White =
above, he
refuted both Giraldus and Stanihurst.

Two of O'Sullivan's other works, _Tenebriomastix _(composed ca. 1636)_ =
_and
the _Compendium of the Catholic History_ (1621),are explored in essays =
by
Caulfield and Morgan. The _Tenebriomastix_ represents O'Sullivan's
contribution to the Scotic debate, in which Scottish writers asserted =
that
_Scotia _referred to Scotland, not Ireland, thus "robbing" Ireland of =
its
history (p. 111). As Caulfield shows, classical learning was fundamental =
to
O'Sullivan's restoration of Ireland's "ownership of the past," key to =
its
identity and his defense of Gaelic Ireland's cultural and religious
traditions (p. 125). In a carefully constructed essay, Morgan builds on =
his
extensive work on Hugh O'Neill and the Nine Years' War as well as =
earlier
work on the _Compendium_, to consider O'Sullivan's presentation of the =
Tudor
conquest of Ireland. Morgan stresses the importance of O'Sullivan's =
decision
to include the decision of the dons and divines of Salamanca and =
Valladolid
on the legitimacy of O'Neill's war against England. Their decision drew
fundamentally on Spanish natural law theory, and its use by O'Sullivan, =
as
Morgan details, underscored O'Sullivan's principal concerns: "English
Protestant tyranny, Irish divisions and Irish reliance on Spain" (p. =
88).

This collection will prove most useful to scholars and graduate =
students,
though advanced undergraduate students will find it a beneficial =
complement
to survey studies. Historical background on early modern Ireland is
presented in the introduction, and translations are provided for all =
primary
source excerpts in Latin and Irish.

Learning from the past or laundering history? Consociational narratives and
state intervention in Northern Ireland

Abstract
Consociational accounts of the Northern Ireland conflict claim that
successive British governments gradually learned how to manage the ethnic
divisions, and encourage power sharing. This article examines recently
released archival material from the Labour governments of Wilson and
Callaghan (1974-1979) that reveal that the reality was much more subtle. It
argues that owing to an essentially teleological approach, the
consociational policy learning narrative distorts the complicated dynamics
of British state intervention in Northern Ireland. In fact, rather than an
overarching vision of conflict management, government policymaking was based
on a multiplicity of voices and options. Not only did Labour inherit policy
legacies from the previous Conservative government, but also the continued
ambiguity in state intervention was itself self-reinforcing and effectively
contributed to the entrenchment of inter-communal division. The article
concludes by highlighting a fundamental implication of the consociational
approach - namely, that it serves to recycle dominant understandings of the
Northern Ireland conflict regardless of the historical record.

ABSTRACT
SWEENEY J. Nursing Inquiry 2010; 17: 95-110

Attitudes of Catholic religious orders towards children and adults with an
intellectual disability in postcolonial Ireland

The purpose of this paper is to examine the intersecting roles of Catholic
religious orders and psychiatrists in the development of residential care
for people with an intellectual disability in Ireland during the fifty-year
period after political autonomy from the UK in 1922. The context is the
postcolonial development of the country and the crucial role played by the
Catholic Church through several of its religious orders in developing and
staffing intellectual disability services. The paper will consider the
divergent positions of church and psychiatry in the foundation and
contemporary position of what was originally known as the care of people
with a mental handicap nursing in the 1960s.

The development of this form of nursing during the mid-twentieth century can
be seen as part of a wider postcolonial response to health and social care
by the newly independent Irish state. The author argues that intellectual
disability nursing in Ireland has been nuanced by association with the
nation's struggle for self-determination from colonial oppression through
adoption of a religious identity. This conflation of education and social
care combined with a specific form of Catholic nursing has left an enduring
legacy on the service provision to people with an intellectual disability in
contemporary Ireland.

ABSTRACT
Research on helping behaviour has emphasized the importance of the group and
particularly the nation in establishing the norms and boundaries of
emergency helping. Less attention has been paid to the role of the national
group in longer-term routine helping such as charitable giving. This is
particularly important given recent research on intergroup helping which
points to the impact of power relations on willingness of national groups to
give and receive aid. The present research examines people's accounts of
charitable giving in their day-to-day lives in Ireland, a country which has
recently undergone a transformation in economic development and
international relations. Discursive analysis of five focus groups with 14
Irish university students illustrates how participants proactively invoke
national identity to account for giving or withholding charity. Our findings
demonstrate how Irish national identity can be strategically and flexibly
used to manage participants' local moral identity in the light of Ireland's
changing international relations and in particular how participants display
concerns to be seen to intend autonomous rather than dependency-oriented
helping. The findings suggest that both national identity and international
relations provide resources for individuals negotiating the complex demands
and concerns surrounding charitable giving. Copyright C 2009 John Wiley &

ABSTRACT

In 1749, the house of commons appointed a committee of enquiry into the
lands and trade of Hudson's Bay. This was the climax to nearly 20 years'
work by the Ulsterman, Arthur Dobbs, which focused first on renewed search
for a northwest passage and later widened to attempt to expand trade and
settlement by challenging the monopoly of the Hudson's Bay Company. Dobbs's
Irish patriotism, linked by support for union with Britain with his
remarkably expansive vision of British empire, became concentrated on this
campaign with a zeal and tenacity which overrode contrary evidence based on
experience. Propaganda pamphlets, mobilisation of compatriots, merchant and
political contacts, briefs for MPs, marshalling of evidence and witnesses
for parliamentary committees, 30 petitions from a variety of places,
organised by Liverpool and Bristol merchants who took the lead in the final
campaign: all were used to attempt to influence parliament. This was an
impressive mid-century effort to promote British commerce and manufactures,
actively supported by the parliamentary opposition which was reviving under
Leicester House leadership. Yet, while this campaign could shape the report
of the committee of enquiry, the House itself was not so easily moved,
especially when public expenditure was likely to be involved. A motion
arising from the report was decisively defeated. The impressive campaign
came to nought. While it indeed reveals powerful visions of commercial and
imperial expansion in the mid 18th century, the outcome suggests that
realism and scepticism prevailed at the heart of the state.

Joseph Strick obituary
Maverick director best known for his film of Ulysses - widely seen as a
noble failure

Ronald Bergan
guardian.co.uk

There must be something quixotic about a director who sets out to make a
film of James Joyce's Ulysses. A passionate Joycean, Joseph Strick, who has
died aged 86, was undeterred by the challenge and the obstacles: "Even
before I made it, people were saying it was unfilmable. I think the truth
is, some people just find the book unreadable."

The iconoclastic Strick first envisaged an 18-hour version, faithful to
every word, but unsurprisingly he could not get anyone to finance it. When
the final two-hour version, shot in Dublin, was completed in 1967, it fell
foul of censorship - just like the novel. The British Board of Film Censors
requested 29 cuts to remove sexual references from Molly Bloom's final,
expletive-laden soliloquy. Strick obliged by replacing all of the offending
footage with a blank screen and a high-pitched shrieking sound.
Astonishingly, the board relented on the cuts and passed the film with an X
certificate. It was one of the first films released in the UK and the US to
feature the word "fuck".

"I knew what kind of material I was choosing," Strick declared, "but I was
still surprised at the intensity of the reactions to the film. In Ireland
the book had never been banned, but the film wasn't passed there until
2000."

In 1967, when Ulysses was shown at the Cannes film festival - an event
described by the outspoken Strick as "corrupt and fake, and just a mechanism
for keeping the hotels open" - some of the French subtitles were cut. During
the screening, Strick stood up and yelled out that the film had been
censored. He then went upstairs to the projection booth and turned off the
switches. A scuffle ensued, and Strick was thrown down the stairs by
security guards and broke his ankle. He withdrew the film immediately from
the festival...

of Judge David Davis of Bloomington, particularly the letters of Sarah
Davis, to explore the internal management of this genteel household -
particularly Sarah's relationships with her Irish servants. Well placed in

'In June of 1871 the Bloomington Pantagraph announced that the house under
construction on Clover Lawn would be ready to be occupied by the Davis
family in September of that year. The article goes on to detail the
particular attributes of the house and remark that the "internal
arrangement is convenient and appropriate."1 What is interesting about the
reporter's description is his inclusion of both the public rooms and the
utilitarian rooms in the house. This suggests that it was recognized that
each area of the house had a certain function. The China Closet, for
example, was just as necessary as the Carrara marble fireplace in the
parlor...'

Summary

The first full-length biography of Timothy D. "Big Tim" Sullivan, who
dominated New York City politics in the three decades prior to World War I.

King of the Bowery is the first full-length biography of Timothy D. "Big
Tim" Sullivan, the archetypal Tammany Hall leader who dominated New York
City politics-and much of its social life-from 1890 to 1913. A poor Irish
kid from the Five Points who rose through ambition, shrewdness, and charisma
to become the most powerful single politician in New York, Sullivan was
quick to perceive and embrace the shifting demographics of downtown New
York, recruiting Jewish and Italian newcomers to his largely Irish machine
to create one of the nation's first multiethnic political organizations.
Though a master of the personal, paternalistic, and corrupt politics of the
late nineteenth century, Sullivan paradoxically embraced a variety of
progressive causes, especially labor and women's rights, anticipating many
of the policies later pursued by his early acquaintances and sometimes
antagonists Al Smith and Franklin D. Roosevelt. Drawing extensively on
contemporary sources, King of the Bowery offers a rich, readable, and
authoritative portrayal of Gotham on the cusp of the modern age, as
refracted through the life of a man who exemplified much of it.

"...a necessary book for anyone unsatisfied by the usual histories of
Irish-American urban political machines ... The Irish American boss has
rarely been awarded the careful appraisal of the kind that Welch ... gives
Sullivan ... But caveat lector: you don't have to be Irish American or a New
Yorker or a Democrat to enjoy this book. All you have to be is interested in
a well-told story that is also a first-rate work of history." - Peter Quinn,
Commonweal

Diaspora Dilemmas and Shifting Allegiances: The Irish in London between
Nationalism, Catholicism and Labourism (1900-22)

John Hutchinson 1

1 Department of Government, London School of Economics
Dr John Hutchinson is Reader in Nationalism at the London School of
Economics, after having taught for many years in Australia. He is the author
or editor of eight books on nationalism and ethnicity, including: The
Dynamics of Cultural Nationalism (Allen & Unwih, 1987); Modern Nationalism
(Fontana, 1994); and Nations as Zones of Conflict (Sage, 2004). He is Deputy
Editor of the journal Nations and Nationalism and he is Vice-President of
the Association for the study of Ethnicity and Nationalism. His current
research examines the relationship between warfare and national identity.

ABSTRACT
Focused on the London Irish, this article discusses the diasporic dilemmas
of Irish Catholics in England who oscillated between four claims to loyalty
in the early twentieth century. Liberals and later the labour movement
sought to mobilise them for radical political and socialist goals; the
Catholic Church to support religious education against secularist threats; a
homeland nationalism to advance the prospects of Irish parliamentary
autonomy; and a diasporic nationalism to defend their ethnic interests in
England. These pressures peaked during the First World War and the Irish War
of Independence. The overall effect of this nationalist mobilisation may
have been to advance their integration into English social and political
institutions.
