Traveller Health: A Research Project to develop an Action plan for the Mid-Western Health Board
(NIHS, 2003-06)Research has shown that Travellers do not share similar health status to the settled population. The 1996 Population Census showed that only 1.3% of Travellers were over 65 years compared to 11.4% of the general population ... -
Compairing means
(INTO [Irish National Teachers Organisation], 2012)A classroom mathematical exploration of the mean In this article, we outline a series of explorations with data, spanning between 3 and 5 lessons, to develop conceptual understanding of the mean. These explorations were ... -
Children as data detectives
(INTO [Irish National Teachers Organisation], 2012)Transforming the teaching of data Is your experience of teaching data less than exciting? Do you think there is more to teaching data than making bar charts of children’s favourite colours? And pictograms of modes of ... -
Sending gossoons to be made oul mollies of: Rule 127(b) and the feminisation of teaching in Ireland
(Taylor & Francis, 2006)This article examines a decision known as Rule 127(b), taken in 1905 by the National Commissioners for Education in Ireland. The rule raised concerns about the displacement of male teachers and their replacement with poorly ... -
The Portrayal of Madness in the Limerick Press 1772-1845
(Mary Immaculate College, University of Limerick, 2013-10-21)This thesis examines the treatment of madness and the mad in the Irish provincial newspaper press between 1772 and 1843. It concentrates largely on the Limerick press, contextualising its treatment of the subject by reference ... -
Public Health & Housing in Limerick City 1850 -1935 - A Geographical Analysis
(Mary Immaculate College, University of Limerick, 2013)While the industrial era was underway in Europe during the nineteenth century, Ireland was also faced with the issues of epidemic disease and slum housing. Most of the research undertaken to date has focused on the ... -
Homological algebra with locally compact abelian groups (Pre-published Version)
(Elsevier, 2007)In this article we study locally compact abelian (LCA) groups from the viewpoint of derived categories, using that their category is quasi-abelian in the sense of J.-P. Schneiders. We define a well-behaved derived Hom-complex ... -
Some moduli stacks of symplectic bundles on a curve are rational (Pre-published version)
(Elsevier, 2008)Let C be a smooth projective curve of genus g ≥ 2 over a field k. Given a line bundle L on C, let Sympl2n,L be the moduli stack of vector bundles E of rank 2n on C endowed with a nowhere degenerate symplectic form b : E ⊗ ... -
Einstein-Hermitian connection on twisted Higgs bundles (Pre-published Version)
(Elsevier Masson, 2010)Let X be a smooth projective variety over C. We prove that a twisted Higgs vector bundle (E , θ) on X admits an Einstein–Hermitian connection if and only if (E , θ) is polystable. A similar result for twisted vector bundles ... -
Torelli theorem for the Deligne-Hitchin moduli space (Pre-published version)
(Springer Verlag, 2009)Fix integers g ≥ 3 and r ≥ 2, with r ≥ 3 if g = 3. Given a compact connected Riemann surface X of genus g, let M DH (X) denote the corresponding SL(r,C) Deligne–Hitchin moduli space. We prove that the complex analytic ... -
A research and development strategy for Hillingdon Primary Care Trust (PCT) in North West London
(NIHS, 2002)Rationale: There were three notable milestones for health research in England during the 1990s. The NHS R&D programme was established and it prioritised research on themes such as the primary-secondary care interface and ... -
Moving closer to solving the 'mathematics problem' where it arises: The influence of the 'typical' Irish pre-tertiary mathematics experience on under-preparedness among numerate entrants
(St. Patricks College, Dublin, 2006)The contribution of mathematics proficiency to the numerate (e.g. science, engineering) disciplines is well-documented. Internationally concern exists that graduates of these disciplines are persistently demonstrating ... -
Mathematics subject matter knowledge (SMK) for teaching at primary level: How much is enough?
(NCE-MSTL [National Centre for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching and Learning], University of Limerick, 2010) -
Working towards addressing the mathematics subject matter knowledge needs of prospective teachers
(St. Patricks College, Dublin, 2009)This study is the result of a perceived need for action within one Irish College of Education. During professional interactions with prospective teachers in both mathematics pedagogy sessions and teaching practice, the ... -
The challenges facing pre-service education: Addressing the issue of mathematics subject matter knowledge among prospective primary teachers
(St. Patricks College, Dublin, 2007)Research has indicated that it is not necessary to study mathematics to degree level to teach mathematics effectively at primary level (Greaney et al, 1999; Cooney, 1999). Consensus exists however that graduating teachers ... -

A Forgotten Franco-Irish Literary Network: Hannah Lynch, Arvède Barine and Salon Culture of Fin-de-Siècle Paris
(Presses Universitaires de Rennes, 2011)This paper is an exploration of Irish émigré author Hannah Lynch ( 1859- 1904), her parti cipation in the salon culture of the Parisian belle époque, and the impact of these social and lite rary networks on her career. ...
