Abstract
Upward mobility in later medieval Meath
A S K Abraham
15 - 20
Looks at the proprietorial expansion and increasing political influence of baronial, knightly, and new `upwardly mobile' families in Co Meath during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, concentrating on the fortunes of three families (the Barnewalls, Plunketts and Prestons) that came to prominence as a result of their involvement in the legal profession during this period. Points out that the landed aristocracy of the county, especially the newcomers, articulated their status by building tower houses as residences for display rather than defence, while their construction of parish churches was both an expression of lordship in their society as well as a means to commemorating their achievements.
Reputations: Nineteenth-century monuments in Limerick
Judith Hill
44 - 48
Records the history of four statues commemorating Thomas Spring Rice (independent MP for Limerick from 1820), Daniel O'Connell, Lord Viscount Fitzgibbon (killed at the Battle of Balaclava in the Crimean War) and Patrick Sarsfield (Irish Jacobite general who defended Limerick in 1691). While O'Connell's statue was erected in 1857 as an expression of Irish nationalism, the contemporary Fitzgibbon monument was installed to express Irish unionism, but the latter was to be thrown down in the twentieth century and replaced by one commemorating the Easter Rising of 1916. Together with the Treaty Stone (on which the 1691 Treaty of Limerick is said to have been signed), these monuments are placed in a national context of monument erection in nineteenth-century Ireland.
The National Museum of Ireland opens Collins Barracks (sort of)
Criticises the underfunding and understaffing of the National Museum of Ireland which was officially re-opened amidst an industrial dispute by Síle de Valera (Minister for Arts, Heritage, Gaeltacht and the Islands) in new premises at Europe's oldest military barracks in September 1997. The National Archives and the National Library of Ireland also suffer from staff shortages despite the country's booming economy and the Irish government is called upon to act on the matter.
