Abstract:There has been much public discussion about church-controlled schools north and south and the potential issues involved if constitutional change was to occur. However, there has been far less debate about Northern Ireland's use of academic selection and its impacts. To fill the research gap in this area and based on a review of the literature on academic selection, coupled with interview data gathered from principals in both the primary and post-primary sectors, from both selective grammar schools and nonselective secondary schools in Northern Ireland, this research reports on the advantages, disadvantages and perceptions of academic selection in Northern Ireland. Evidence derived from this research suggests that participants, in line with the literature, acknowledge that there are benefits to academic selection for some students and schools. However, the vast majority were also of the view that this advantage comes at a significant disadvantage for the majority of the student population before and after the selection process has occurred. This paper calls for the cessation of academic selection in all of its unregulated shapes and forms in Northern Ireland as has occurred in other jurisdictions.This is an open access article licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives 4.0 International License.

Justice, according to John Rawls, is ‘the first virtue of social institutions’ (1971, 3). I hope that Brian Ó Conchubhair will forgive me if I take just one detail from a paper rich in details, namely his use of the term ‘injustice’, as a springboard for a few brief points on how the idea of linguistic justice may be said to pertain to the politics of language in Ireland. That Ireland is the particular context here is significant. Linguistic justice, as with justice more generally, is context-specific: it takes on different meanings according to the particularities of the given real-world situation. What I have to say here is drawn from ongoing interdisciplinary work supported by a grant from the Irish government. 2 That work is as yet unpublished. Briefly, our analysis asked the following.

Abstract:This paper explores drivers and barriers of cross-border economic integration in the Ireland-Northern Ireland context. We show, via a case-study of the Irish pharmaceutical sector, that potential economic benefits of an all-island sectoral ecosystem have been recognised by businesses and policymakers in both jurisdictions. However, those economic benefits within the pharmaceutical sector have not materialised. We explore this situation by employing the concept of proximity. Proximity refers not only to geographic or spatial proximity, but also encompasses cognitive, organisational, institutional and social proximities. Our findings indicate that a mix of proximities is necessary to overcome impediments to cross-border economic integration. While industry actors may enjoy geographical proximity due to their business locations and cognitive proximity in terms of overlapping industry and scientific knowledge, without the requisite institutional and social proximities cross-border economic integration may struggle to achieve its potential.
