Fewer travelling to UK for abortion

Fewer travelling to UK for abortion
Monday, 20 July 2009 23:13
Figures released by the Crisis Pregnancy Agency show that the number of
women travelling from Ireland to the UK for abortions continues to decline.

Last year, 4,600 women attending abortion clinics in Britain gave an Irish
address - this is 86 fewer than in 2007, and 2,000 fewer than when the
Crisis Pregnancy Agency was established in 2001.

The number of Irish women attending abortion clinics in the Netherlands is
also declining - 331 last year, compared to 451 in 2007.

The Agency's Annual Report for 2008, released today, also shows a 20%
decrease in the number and rate of births to teenagers from 2001 to 2008.

Also, while there is a 31% decrease in the number of women travelling from
Ireland to the UK for an abortion in the last seven years, there has been a
46% decrease in the number of teenagers travelling from Ireland to Britain
for abortion.

At the launch of its report, the Agency said it wanted to highlight the
existence of agencies that seek to manipulate women by providing a
'disingenuous' crisis pregnancy counselling information service...

....A newly redeveloped website, Positiveoptions.ie, has been launched by
the CPA. On it, a dedicated section highlights the tactics used by agencies
with a hidden agenda.

The website advises women to be wary of agencies that require them to wait a
long time before giving them appointments, agencies that insist on meeting
them in a public place such as a hotel or a car park, agencies that delay in
giving women pregnancy test results, or agencies that show inappropriate
images or videos as part of a counselling session, which are designed to
influence a woman's decision.

These agencies claim to be unbiased but are instead designed to stop women
from getting abortions. Some of them expose women to upsetting and graphic
images of late-term abortions or give false information about health issues.


The campaign was announced at the launch of the CPA's annual report for 2008
yesterday. "The agency has, since its inception, made significant progress
in addressing an issue which we now know affects one in every five women
aged 18 to 34," said Health Minister Mary Harney.

The Minister noted a 31% decrease in the number of women travelling from
Ireland to the UK for abortion since the establishment of the agency, a 20%
decrease in the number and rate of births to teenagers, and a 46% decrease
in the number of teenagers travelling from Ireland to the UK for abortions.

We have come across the following item, an Editorial in last year's Irish
Journal of Psychological Medicine. It is an interesting use of the word
'diaspora'...

Anyone who has worked at street level and in prisons will be aware that we
meet many people who are clearly brain damaged. But I was not aware that
the Republic of Ireland was sending brain damaged people abroad for
treatment and/or containment.

This, of course, adds a further footnote to the long, long discussion about
schizophrenia.

Editorial

Persons with acquired brain injury: a disabled diaspora
Conor O'Neill, Mark Delargy, Clare McInerney

Ir J Psych Med 2008; 25(2): 38-3

The Vision for Change Document states that "Neuropsychiatry service needs
are largely unmet in Ireland and where they are met, it is by existing
liaison psychiatry mental health services. Additional expertise and
treatment is purchased from abroad but should and can be provided here". 1

Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) prevalence rates of up to 2%have been described
in the US. 2 In Ireland, Vision for Change estimated a neuropsychiatry need
in ABI of approximately 80cases per 100,000 population annually. 1 The risk
of ABI is greatest between the mid-teen years and mid-twenties, and again in
the elderly, with males at particular risk. The commonest causes are
transport-related injuries, followed by falls which are more frequent in
older age groups. 3 Residual deficits in cases of mild, moderate and severe
ABI have been estimated at 10%, 67% and 100% respectively. 4

Psychiatric sequelae are common and may develop several years after the
initial injury. A 30 year follow-up study of 60ABI patients found a lifetime
prevalence of 26.7% for DSM-IV major depression. 5 Kreutzer et al found a
prevalence rate for DSM-IV major depression of 42% at 2.5 years post-injury.
6 Anatomical regions implicated in the aetiology of psychosis, such as the
temporal lobes, prefrontal cortex and hippocampus, are particularly
vulnerable to acquired injury, and ABI has been estimated to account for
1-17% of all cases of schizophrenia. 7 Certain subgroups of people with
major mental illness are known to be overrepresented in prison
populations...

...The number of this "disabled diaspora",while unknown, is such that there
is a clear economic argu-ent for the development in Ireland of
specialisedchallenging behaviour units skilled in the behavioural
manage-ment and rehabilitation of persons with ABI.

Obituary
Frank McCourt
Author whose first and best-known book was his extraordinary memoir =
Angela's

Carlo G=E9bler
guardian.co.uk

Frank McCourt, who has died in his adopted city of New York aged 78 =
after
suffering from cancer and meningitis, lived a life that many Irish =
emigres
to the US have dreamed of, but few have managed to achieve. Three =
decades
after arriving in America from Limerick as an under-educated and
undernourished 19-year-old, he turned himself into an author, his first =
and
best-known book being his extraordinary memoir Angela's Ashes.

The book enjoyed considerable critical claim =96 though some critics
questioned the veracity of McCourt's bleak depiction of his childhood, =
as
well as diagnosing in him a severe case of self-pity. It was a =
bestseller,
and was later was made into a decent film: the book also made McCourt a =
rich
celebrity.

His journey from poverty-stricken emigrant to literary star was epic and
wholly American: many Americans took him to their hearts, though the =
Irish
were much less accommodating. However, fame and wealth did not go to
McCourt's head: he remained to the end a genial, humorous, ironical,
sceptical Irishman; witty, wry, charming and helpful to others, =
especially
the young. He had an unswerving, almost utopian, belief in the value of
education and its centrality in the culture, which he advocated all his
life.

There is some virtue in his detractors' argument that he founded the
misery-memoir genre and thereby spawned hundreds of books, most of them =
by
men, about their unhappy childhoods. But McCourt's memoir is much better
than those of his many imitators, and the same goes for his later books.

McCourt was born in Brooklyn, New York...

...Now, retired from teaching and happily married, he found that what he
needed to tell the story of his life from birth to the age of 19 was not =
a
fictional voice, but his own, and so he produced not a novel, but a =
memoir.

It took him 13 months to write Angela's Ashes: the book was published in
1996, won the National Book Critics Circle award in the same year, the
Pulitzer prize in 1997, and was on various bestseller lists for months. =
It
was subsequently published in 27 countries and translated into 17 =
languages.
'Tis (1999) took up the story where Angela's Ashes left off and =
described
his life in America from the age of 19 in to the conclusion of his =
teaching
career in 1985. The second book was also a bestseller, though not of the
runaway variety like the first: it was also a considerable literary work =
and
has merit as a description of Irish emigre life in the US...

It is certainly an interesting discourse...

A good starting point with this sort of query is BCIN

BCIN, the Bibliographic Database of the Conservation Information Network, is
the Web's most complete bibliographic resource for the conservation,
preservation and restoration of cultural property.

Subject Monument: Dublin (Ireland)
Abstract: The An Taisce association has drawn attention to the disappearance
of an important element of the architectural heritage in the heart of 18th
and 19th century Dublin due to demolition, construction of office buildings,
more or less approximate reproduction of facades, and inappropriate urban
renewal. The association aims at strengthening conservation policy and along
those lines has made a number of recommendations concerning those houses
that should be included on protection lists, restoration of interior
architecture and gardens, state subsidies and problems of deterioration of
material. -- AATA

Could the list suggest good sources for learning about the controversies

more important, about the rise of a architectural-preservation

First Cuban War of Independence in the 1870s will be reprinted by the SIPTU
trade union, with a lengthy introduction by Manus O'Riordan (son of the late
Communist Party of Ireland leader Michael O'Riordan). It is possible to
order photocopied reprints of O'Kelly's book over the Net from reprint

I was alerted to this by reading the current issue of IRISH POLITICAL

This review by James Gregory of Ranald Michie's GUILTY MONEY: THE CITY OF
LONDON IN VISTORIAN AND EDWARDIAN CULTURE (Pickering & Chatto, 2009) on the
REVIEWS IN HISTORY website has a hidden Irish diaspora element. The
novelist Charlotte Riddell, mentioned both in the review and in Michie's
response, was from Ulster (Belfast/rural North Down) and wrote several
novels set there, such as BERNA BOYLE (which has an interesting old v. new
money theme, perhaps not so far distant from the City novels discussed
here).
http://www.history.ac.uk/reviews/paper/gregoryj.html (Gregory's review)
Charlotte Riddell, we learn, attracted a loyal following for her novels of
the City in the 1860s, and, in an interesting quotation Michie makes from
her novel *Austin Friars* (1870) she point out that =91the majority of writ=

A
novelist who depended on her literary earnings to support a bankrupt
husband, she seems to be the closest we get to an apologist for the City an=

the 1900s.
http://www.history.ac.uk/reviews/paper/gregoryjresp.html (Michie's response=

If any novelist does deserve a revival, which is a question that Dr Gregory
poses, then I would single out Charlotte Riddell, especially her novel
Austin Friars. I really enjoyed reading it but possibly its description of
the mechanics of bill finance does not appeal to everyone. Though Dr Gregor=
y
is unaware of it I am well aware of her background and output and the only
reason I can find for her neglect over the years is that she is favourable
to the City, but then only in certain respects. But, then, I am no judge of

Re: [IR-D] 'Forgotten Irish' query


I’m very rushed right now (going out of town early tomorrow), and, a=
nyway, I’m no expert on sources for the Irish in the UK.  

Two suggestions:

Don Macraild, prof. of history at the University of =
Ulster, Coleraine.    

2.  Circulate your questions through the Irish Diaspora list-serve, ma=
ny of whose members (Ultan Cowley, Frank Neal, Mary Hickman, etc.) are exper=
ts on the subject.  The list’s e-mail address is:  The Irish Diaspora Studies List <IR-D[at]JISCMAIL.AC.UK>.  But, for =
permission (which I’m sure will be granted, e-mail to:  Patrick O'Sullivan <P.OSullivan[at]BRADFORD.AC.UK> and, since I think Paddy’s on vacation now,  =
to:  "William Mulligan Jr." <billmulligan[at]MURRAY-KY.NET> .

Good luck,

Kerby

Here is a link to a slightly fuller account of Derek Leinster's experiences
(in the IRISH NEWS) which makes it clear that he is complaining of neglect
and mistreatment in the Bethany Home itself as well as by the foster-parents
with whom he was placed.

The Faith of Frank McCourt

By PETER DUFFY

Frank McCourt, who died on Sunday at age 78, was the most Catholic of
authors.
. . .

Somewhere Mr. McCourt, who loved to spar with critics, is smiling.
"Anti-clericalism, they said about me," he told a newspaper reporter in
2002, who noted that Mr. McCourt's eyebrows arched with skepticism. "I =
just
told the story that millions of other Catholics would tell about their =
own
lives." Referring to the clergy sexual-abuse, he said: "Maybe now people =
are
beginning to realize that I was just a bit too early with the truth."
