For farm households across Ireland, the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries were nothing short of a revolutionary period. While the increase in state control and supervision of aspects of Irish life had been expanding throughout the 1800s, it was only in the later part of the century that this attention began to shift from the wider land and landscape to focus on the previously sacred private space of the family home. The Victorian preoccupation with improvement, particularly in relation to standards of hygiene and sanitation, would result in a raft of biopolitical legislation that impacted all families but was felt most strongly by farming households across the country. Public health and sanitation legislation ordered the eviction of animals from inside cottages, the removal of manure heaps from outside doors and introduced regulations for the sale or even provision of dairy produce. This paper will examine these and other changes introduced by the state in the period leading up to the First World War, investigating the role of local government in their implementation and using local authority records to reveal the practical consequences of this incursion of agents of the state onto private property and into private lives.

Drawing on the Census of Agriculture, a small number of researchers have developed a substantial body of literature describing and evaluating the changing structure of farms and farm enterprises in Ireland. This paper contributes to that body of work through the development and application of a geo-demographic typology. The research highlights the ageing of the population of farmers between 2000 and 2010 and describes the resulting spatial patterns. The application of the geo-demographic typology enables the association between farmer age and the outcomes to processes resulting in the geographic specialisation of farm enterprises to be identified and assessed. The paper then considers the potential implications of intergenerational transfer of land and farms to a new generation of land-holders. In this context, the land use intentions of this group of land-holders will shape the future development of the sector, not only in terms of food production and the attainment of targets set out in agri-food development strategies, but also in terms of meeting societal demands for the production of renewable energy and mitigation of climate change through afforestation. The research highlights the on-going attachment to the land amongst most respondents even in those cases where the farm enterprise is not economically viable, and associated with this, the need for off-farm sources of income.

This is a paper about the ambivalent relationships we can have with the landscapes we grew up in, with senses of belonging and nationality, and with memory itself. To approach and specify these themes, the paper aims to practise a particular form of landscape writing, prioritising individualised voice and perception to advance its arguments. Autobiographical and narrative-based in approach, the paper offers a sequence of reflections on questions of religion, culture, migration and identity in an Irish context. A middle section separately identifies and discusses ideas of perspective and the vanishing point as a specific interpretative pivot for the paper. In the final section, the paper situates and more widely re-contextualises its concerns regarding questions of landscape and belonging.

Critical scholarship has revealed the darker side of the model of economic recovery, which Ireland has embraced from 2008 and has placed under scrutiny the claim that the country is witnessing a ‘Celtic comeback’ because of this model. But as crisis recedes and the contours of a new normal become manifest, perhaps it is surprising that less attention is being given to the politics of Ireland’s post-crash politico-institutional architecture and growth agenda. In this brief provocation, we mobilise Peck, Theodore and Brenner’s (2013) theorisation of ‘neoliberalism redux’ to explore the structuration of regulatory institutions and experiments in Ireland after the crash. We argue that whilst Ireland will continue to be cast as a small open, liberalised, entrepreneurial and glocalised economy, its post-crash development manifesto needs to be construed as less a straightforward reset or return to a pre-crash model after a shock or blip and more a historically novel and contested reimagining and reinvention. It could have been – and may yet be – different. We invoke the themes of ‘maître d’s’, ‘Trojan horses’ and ‘aftershocks’ to open a debate on the forces which will combine to determine the fate of neoliberalism redux in Ireland.

Irish Travellers were once an itinerant population on the island of Ireland, but are now predominantly sedentary and urbanised. Their longstanding horsekeeping practices have become subject to increased management and regulation in the Republic. Nominally introduced in the interest of safeguarding the well-being of horses, the policing of horsekeeping has also served as an instrument of surveillance and marginalisation, and has had a culturally and economically severe impact on the Traveller community. This paper argues that the policing of Travellers who keep horses has its roots in a larger transformation of rural landscapes, led by the Irish state as part of an economic plan of modernised dairy and beef production for an international market. The spatial transformation of rural areas was intensified further during the Celtic Tiger (1994-2008), when the central government’s transfer of responsibilities to under resourced local authorities combined with property speculation and new environmental regulation from the European Union to produce new land management discourse and practices at the local level. Land was understood to have new and lucrative potential for development and, although they often managed it badly, local authorities increased their oversight and policing of previously flexible or ‘disorderly’ land. These evolving frameworks and practices of land management and oversight served to marginalise communities whose ties to land were insecure, such as Travellers who kept horses.

Relationships between health inequalities and social disadvantage are well established, but less is known about spatial variations in health. Most geographical studies of health in Ireland have been conducted at a county level. Counties are too large to identify more localised pockets of poor health, whereas electoral districts (EDs) can be too small to permit stable estimates of the underlying rates, due to the small number of deaths each year. This paper reports the findings of an analysis of deaths in 2006 and 2011 using a new set of 407 areas intermediate in size between counties and EDs. The areas having the lowest and the highest age standardised death rates were mostly in Dublin and the other larger cities, but there is at least a 3-fold difference which demonstrates inequalities in health outcomes. Further modelling is required to establish whether this simply reflects the geography of social status.

Increasing use of artificial light at night has led to many areas across the globe being exposed to light conditions above the natural background level. Research is only now uncovering the impacts of ‘ecological light pollution’ on the environment. Artificial light at night can disrupt circadian rhythms, cause interference with orientation and migration, alter predator/prey interactions and affect other behaviour and physiological features. Intercalibration of Defense Meteorological Satellite Program’s Operational Linescan System images shows that night light emissions in Ireland have increased significantly from 1995 to 2010. In this period, artificial light has spread into previously dark rural areas, including County Mayo where 28% of land surface is designated for habitat and species conservation purposes. To investigate light pollution in rural areas, examination into the conservation area of Owenduff/Nephin Beg Complex was undertaken. Spatial analysis of light measurements taken from Sky Quality Meters surrounding the site were overlaid with species distribution records to determine the proximity of protected species to sources of artificial light at night. Light measurements from the area show pristine night skies according to International Dark Sky Association standards, with one site indicating the presence of localised light pollution. Further work is required to determine if any potential adverse ecological impacts on protected species in the locality are occurring from artificial light at night. The findings of this study provide a foundation for ecological light pollution effects assessment in Ireland. Further work is required to establish the temporal and spatial scales of artificial light in Irish rural areas and determine the specific effects on species present there.

Buoyant student numbers and recent examinations of the state of Geography in Ireland may well be cause for celebration. However, complacency is inappropriate. The future prospects of Geography in the Junior Cycle Student Award (JCSA) remain somewhat uncertain, and the threats to the discipline are pervasive both internationally and nationally. Geography is not well established in the University sector in Ireland. Geography degrees are taught through Mary Immaculate College at the University of Limerick and Dublin City University has only started to award such degrees since the incorporation of St Patrick’s College, Drumcondra. At the same time, Geography remains largely unknown in the IoT sector. Evidence from elsewhere has amply demonstrated that Geography is a vulnerable discipline and its academic ‘legitimacy’ cannot simply be taken for granted. This research explores the vulnerability of the discipline in detail, before continuing to explore how Geography is conceptualised by leading stakeholders in a purposive sample of Irish third-level institutions where Geography is/ was not taught. Findings indicate that what little exposure stakeholders had with Geography was overwhelmingly negative. Geography was also considered too broad, having a role as an enabler of other disciplines, rather than as a discipline in its own right. Geography was also perceived as being a rather basic, static, traditional, low status academic discipline. The implications for Geography as a discipline are discussed, and recommendations suggested.

This commentary explores the spatialities, and in particular the urban legacies, of the 1916 Rising from the perspectives of 1916 and 2016. The focus is Dublin’s north inner city and especially O’Connell (formerly Sackville) Street and the adjacent thoroughfares – the epicentre of the 1916 Rising. This commentary is presented as three short papers: the first addresses the immediate post-Rising legacy and explains how and why the O’Connell Street area was speedily reconstructed despite the stringencies of the First World War; the second examines the centennial legacy, recent efforts to preserve the memory of 1916 and their broader socio-spatial impacts; the third reflects on how the seminal historical event of the 1916 Rising has shaped and continues to shape livelihoods, politics and the built form of the city. The commentary concludes by highlighting the value of an inter-disciplinary approach to understanding the evolution of urban spaces and outlines some of the broader implications and lessons for planning, heritage and policymaking.

Ten years ago, in the 60th anniversary edition of Irish Geography, Rob Kitchin wrote a short commentary reflecting on the major transitions that geography in Ireland (hereafter, Irish geography) had gone through since 2000. His article, together with the range of responses written by a number of academics from across the island, published in Vol 37(2), makes interesting reading. Given the seismic shifts that have occurred in the intervening period, not only in the institutional and national context but also within the discipline itself, it is worth revisiting this commentary in the journal’s 70th anniversary volume.
