We all know how inspirational U2 are both at

national and international level. The band

sent a powerful message and gave great

hope to the people of Dublin and Ireland that

great things could be achieved. This rock

band put Ireland on the world map and

reinforced our identity as a nation of

scholars, story tellers and artists.

Stories for Boys was the name of their first

song which they performed on the Late Late

Show in 1979. It is part of the album Boy and

was an introduction to U2. Although all songs

tell a story this one clearly states what the

story is and reveals all in its‟ title. In a nut

shell, boys are always looking for heroes and

role models. Little did they know at that time

that they would become heroes and role

models themselves……

Sean-nós singing is one of the finest of the

traditional Irish arts. It is often characterized

by unaccompanied performance in Irish, free

rhythm, relative lack of vibrato or dynamic

change, and especially by the use of rapid,

melismatic ornamentation. Sean-nós was

originally practised as part of daily routine at

home, work and play. “Songs were made to

accompany the work inside and outside the

home, to express the many emotions-love

and sadness of daily existence, to record

local and other historical events and to often

mark the loss of family and friends whether

by death or by emigration”. Many of the

songs typically sung sean-nós could be

viewed as forms of love poetry, laments, or

references to historical events such as

rebellions.

A report published today shows how social

mobility in Ireland is well below the OECD

average and largely dependent on the

educational attainment of one's parents.

Research confirms that Ireland, along with

southern European countries such as Greece

and Italy, offers less educational mobility than

the average OECD country. Nordic countries,

on the other hand, were the most mobile of

those surveyed. This, in turn, has a serious

effect on overall social mobility. A separate

OECD report released in 2009 supports

these findings. If you live in Scandanavia,

you have a 100% better chance of becoming

wealthy than if you live in US.

GT Energy has applied for permission for a

deep geothermal power plant in South

Dublin. The legal framework for exploiting

these resources has yet to be designed.

Subsidies for geothermal power are zero at

present. The cost of geothermal energy

depends, to a large extent, on the depth of

the hole that needs to be drilled to get to the

heat below our feet. GT Energy plans to drill

4 kilometers deep in South Dublin.

Fair City is an award-winning Irish television

soap opera on RTÉ 1. Produced by Radio

Telefís Éireann, it was first broadcast on

Monday, September 18, 1989. Plots centre

on the domestic and professional lives of the

residents of Carrigstown, a fictional suburb

on the north side of Dublin. Fair City has

established itself as a permanent part of the

Irish cultural landscape. Viewing figures of

between 500,000 and 600,000 make it, by a

considerable margin, the most watched

drama in the country.

In Ireland, class distinctions are thought of as

quintessentially English: the popular

impression is that rigid social class

demarcation was left behind with the ending

of landlordism and the demise of the Anglo-

Irish ascendancy. However, the term 'class'

does not imply snobbish or deference:

instead it refers to the manner in which one's

position in the labour market determines

one's life chances. In Ireland, educational

opportunities, income, health, and even

mortality are strongly related to class

position. Such inequalities show no signs of

declining. Such advantages are also

transmitted between generations.

UNICEF Ireland and Dublin City Council

Integration Unit are collaborating on a project

called „Suitcase Stories‟ for refugee children

living in Ireland to tell their stories. The one-

day workshop will be hosted in the Lantern

Centre, 17 Synge Street, Dublin 8 on

Saturday 11th September 2010. The

workshop will run between 10am and 4pm

and lunch and refreshments will be provided.

The artistic concept is „Suitcase stories‟,

whereby the inside of the suitcase will

represent where they have come from and

the outside will illustrate where they have

come to. The process/images will reflect not

only the past experiences and current reality

of the young people, but also their future

aspirations. The workshop will be facilitated

by the exhibition curator and each young

person will have an art teacher working with

them.

Daft.ie presents Playhouse as

Playhouse as part of the

Ulster Bank Dublin Theatre

Festival

From the 24th of September until the 11th of

October 2009, the iconic Liberty Hall building in

Dublin’s city centre will be transformed into a

giant 50 metre, low resolution, TV screen.

Members of the public are invited to create

animations with sound and music, via our

website, and broadcast them across the city’s

skyline.

Powering the display are 100,000 low-energy

LED lights, installed into 330 windows on the

south and west faces of the building. These

lights can illuminate each window as a solid

colour turning it into a tiny pixel that’s part of a

giant display.

Daft.ie were approached with the Playhouse

idea late last year. They loved the idea and

jumped on board as main sponsor and agreed

to fund the project. The team was then pulled

together through connections made at the

Trinity Science Gallery.

Liberty Hall (Irish: Halla na Saoirse), in

Dublin, Ireland is the headquarters of the

Services, Industrial, Professional, and

Technical Union (SIPTU). It was formerly the

tallest storeyed building in Ireland at 59.4 m

(195 feet) high[1](until superseded by the

County Hall outside Cork city), and is

currently the second tallest in Dublin after the

Millennium Tower in Grand Canal Dock. It is

more historically significant in its earlier form,

as the headquarters of the Irish Transport

and General Workers Union early in the 20th

century, and as that of the Irish Citizen Army

(ICA). Standing on Beresford Place and

Eden Quay, near the Custom House, the

original Liberty Hall used to be a hotel before

becoming James Connolly's personal fortress

in Dublin. Following the outbreak of World

War I a banner reading "We serve neither

King nor Kaiser but Ireland" was hung on its

front wall, and within was printed the

newspaper The Irish Worker.

The Nelson Pillar (Irish: Colún Nelson), known

generally in Dublin as Nelson's Pillar or simply The

Pillar, was a large granite pillar topped by a statue

of Horatio, Lord Nelson, located in the centre of

O'Connell Street in Dublin. It was built in 1808 and

destroyed by a bomb in 1966.[1] The pillar was a

Doric column that rose 121 feet (36.9 m) from the

ground and was topped by a 13 feet (4.0 m) tall

statue in Portland stone by Cork sculptor Thomas

Kirk, RHA (1781–1845), giving it a total height of

134 feet (40.8 m) – some 35 feet (10.7 m) shorter

than Nelson's Column in London. The diameter of

the column was 13 feet (4.0 m) at the bottom and

10 feet (3.0 m) at the top.[2]

All the outer and visible parts of the Pillar were of

granite, from the quarry of Golden Hill, Kilbride,

County Wicklow. The interior was of black

limestone. The original entrance to the pillar was

underground but, G. P. Baxter designed a porch in

1894 which was added to allow direct access from

the street. The adult public paid sixpence (children

under 12 were half-price) to climb the 168 spiral

steps to a platform which gave a bird's-eye view of

the city. Ken Dolan and six other students[8] from

the National College of Art and Design stole the

statue's head on St. Patrick's Day from a storage

shed in Clanbrassil Street as a fund-raising prank to

pay off a Student Union's debt 11/28/2010 26Designing Dublin 2.0 - Love the City

The Spire of Dublin, officially titled the Monument

of Light[1] (Irish: An Túr Solais) is a large, stainless

steel, pin-like monument 121.2 metres (398 ft) in

height, located on the site of the former Nelson's

Pillar on O'Connell Street in Dublin. The spire was

designed by Ian Ritchie Architects,[2] who sought

an "Elegant and dynamic simplicity bridging art and

technology". The contract was awarded to SIAC-

Radley JV and it was manufactured by Radley

Engineering of Dungarvan, Co. Waterford, and

erected by SIAC Construction Ltd. The first section

was installed on 18 December 2002.[3] Five

additional 20m sections were added with the last

one installed on 21 January 2003. The spire is an

elongated cone of diameter 3 m (9.8 ft) at the base,

narrowing to 15 cm (5.9 in) at the top. Construction

of the world's tallest sculpture[4] was delayed

because of difficulty in obtaining planning

permission and environmental regulations. It is

constructed from eight hollow tubes of stainless

steel and features a tuned mass damper, designed

by engineers Arup, to counteract sway. The steel

underwent shot peening in order to subtly reflect the

light falling on it. The metal changes colours due to

its reflective properties.

The Book of Kells (Irish: Leabhar Cheanannais)

(Dublin, Trinity College Library, MS A. I. (58),

sometimes known as the Book of Columba) is an

illuminated manuscript Gospel book in Latin,

containing the four Gospels of the New Testament

together with various prefatory texts and tables. It

was created by Celtic monks ca. 800 or slightly

earlier. The text of the Gospels is largely drawn from

the Vulgate, although it also includes several

passages drawn from the earlier versions of the

Bible known as the Vetus Latina. It is a masterwork

of Western calligraphy and represents the pinnacle

of Insular illumination. It is also widely regarded as

Ireland's finest national treasure.

The illustrations and ornamentation of the Book of

Kells surpass that of other Insular Gospel books in

extravagance and complexity. The decoration

combines traditional Christian iconography with the

ornate swirling motifs typical of Insular art. Figures

of humans, animals and mythical beasts, together

with Celtic knots and interlacing patterns in vibrant

colours, enliven the manuscript's pages. Many of

these minor decorative elements are imbued with

Christian symbolism and so further emphasise the

themes of the major illustrations.

The General Post Office (GPO) (Irish: Ard-

Oifig an Phoist) in Dublin is the headquarters

of the Irish postal service, An Post, and

Dublin's principal post office. Sited in the

centre of O'Connell Street, the city's main

thoroughfare, it is one of Ireland's most

famous buildings, and was the last of the

great Georgian public buildings erected in the

capital.

Besides its architectural significance and its

role as the chief office of the Irish Post office,

Dublin‟s G.P.O. holds a place of particular

symbolic importance for Irish people for it

was the headquarters of the men and women

who took part in the Easter Rising of April

1916. While that rebellion ended in failure

with most Irish people lamenting the death

and destruction which had been caused, it

was the catalyst for events that were to lead

to Irish independence and the creation of a

new State.

Geldof was born in Dún Laoghaire, County

Dublin, in the Republic of Ireland, to Catholic

parents. His father, Robert, is also known as

Bob. At the age of 41 Geldof's mother

complained of a headache and died shortly

thereafter, having suffered a haemorrhage.

Geldof attended Blackrock College, near

Dublin, a school whose staunch Catholic

nationalist ethos he disliked. After work as a

slaughter man, road navvy and pea canner,

he started as a music journalist in Vancouver,

British Columbia, Canada, for the weekly

publication Georgia Straight. Upon returning

to Ireland in 1975, he became the lead singer

of the band The Boomtown Rats, a rock

group closely linked with the punk

movement.

(1847-1912)

Number 15, Marino Crescent was the

birthplace in 1847 of Abraham (Bram) Stoker,

the author of one of the world's most chilling

novels, "Dracula".

Although, loosely based on the macabre and

cruel character of Vlad Tepes or Vlad the

Impaler, a 15th century prince of Wallachia in

Transylvania, a region also renowned for

stories of vampires and werewolves, Stoker

had plenty of material to draw on from early

and contemporary Irish history.

The Great Famine (1845-47) and subsequent

cholera outbreaks fuelled many stories of

horror and of people being buried alive. In

Celtic times storytellers were passed on of

dreadful tales of the "undead", those who

were destined to wander the earth forever

seeking the blood of others. These ghouls

were known to have had bad blood or droch

fhola (pronounced as druc ula!) 11/28/2010 41Designing Dublin 2.0 - Love the City

Reeling in the Years is a historical documentary

series broadcast in Ireland by RTÉ. Each episode,

approximately 25 minutes long, looks back at the

news and events of a particular year, from 1962 to

1999. The programme uses news archive footage,

along with subtitles as the means of narration, to

recount notable Irish and international events of the

time. Music from the particular year is also played

over the footage, with occasional scenes of live

performances or music videos, generally (but not

(1854-1900)

A year after Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills

Wilde was born at 21 Westland Row the

family moved to no.1 Merrion Square . The

statue to Oscar Wilde in Merrion Square Park

stands opposite to his childhood home.

He attended Trinity College, Dublin and won

a scholarship to Magdalen College, Oxford.

He became a renowned dramatist, poet and

wit and was a very popular guest at the

parties of the social elite. His only novel was

The Picture of Dorian Gray. He wrote several

plays including his masterpiece The

Importance of Being Earnest.

His tragic imprisonment for homosexual

crimes from 1895-97 produced another great

work The Ballad of Reading Gaol but also

broke his health and his finances. He died in

circumstances of poverty, thankfully with a

couple of faithful friends in attendance, in a

lonely Paris hotel room.

Pádraig Harrington

Pádraig Harrington (born 31 August 1971) is

an Irish professional golfer and currently the

highest ranked European in the world

rankings, at No. 7. He has won tournaments

on the European Tour and the PGA Tour. He

won the 2007 Open Championship, in which

he defeated Sergio García in a four-hole

playoff by one stroke. In doing so, he

became the first European to win a major

since Paul Lawrie won the same tournament

in 1999, at the same venue (Carnoustie in

Angus, Scotland).

Harrington was born in Dublin, Ireland. His

father was Paddy Harrington, a Garda (Irish

police officer) who played Gaelic football for

Cork. After a successful amateur career,

including winning the Walker Cup with the

Great Britain & Ireland team in 1995,

Harrington turned professional later that year,

joining the European Tour in 1996.

BIORHYTHM:

MUSIC AND THE BODY

What makes us dance? Why do we sing the blues?

Could there be a formula for the perfect hit?

Music is a central part of the human experience, but

what is the natural force that drives us to sing,

strum, drum and dance? What is the scientific basis

of whistling, humming and toe-tapping?

Cognitive scientist Steven Pinker recently claimed

that music is "auditory cheesecake", designed to

tickle parts of our brain designed for more serious

purposes like speech and abstract reasoning.

Darwin, on the other hand, preferred to think that

music and dance evolved as an integral part of

human courtship rituals. George Bernard Shaw

more racily described dancing as "the vertical

expression of a horizontal desire". Our brains, ears

and vocal chords are exquisitely designed for

enjoying and creating music.

Social Policy In Ireland

Edited by Sean Healy, Brigid Reynolds and Micheál Collins

In Social Policy in Ireland, 28 of the leading social policy

commentators in Ireland contribute to 22 chapters ranging across

the social policy spectrum. Some chapters look at issues of

principle, others analyse practice while others focus on specific

policy problems. Together the contributors provide a detailed

analysis of a wide range of issues, articulate viable alternatives and

identify pathways to move towards such alternatives. They also

address the frameworks, models and paradigms which underpin

policy analysis and policy-making in Ireland.

This unique publication, which draws on the expertise of people in

economics, sociology, political science, social administration and

policy-making, will be of widespread interest. It will be required

reading for students of social policy and public administration,

policymakers, activists and others who wish to analyse social

issues and to generate change.

This second revised and updated edition of Social Policy in

Ireland marks the 25th anniversary of the estsablishment of the

Justice Commission of the Conference of Religious of Ireland

(CORI Justice). It builds on and develops many of the major

themes addressed over the past two decades in the annual social

policy conferences organised by CORI Justice.
