Prospects for Ireland in an Enlarged EU

Barry, Frank


abstract

The CEEC share of Irish exports has grown fivefold since transition began,
with export sales expanding in all sectors. Even at current income levels
there remains scope for a further doubling of exports, and trade will grow
even more substantially if accession facilitates the CEEC in converging more
rapidly on EU living standards.
Most analyses predict that the EU15 sectors that face the greatest threats
of enlargement-induced disruption are Food and Textiles, Clothing and
Footwear. In the case of Irish Food Processing, however, the prognosis of
the present paper is positive since Irish agricultural output differs quite
strongly from that of the CEE economies. The adjustment costs associated
with industrial dispution, furthermore, are highest in economies with rigid
labour markets, whereas the flexibility of the Irish labour market seems to
have improved substantially over the last decade or so.
Outward FDI from Ireland has grown strongly over the Celtic Tiger era, and
Irish multinational firms have been reasonably active in acquiring companies
in their sectors in Cental and Eastern Europe. The main worry for Ireland is
that the more successful accession states may divert FDI inflows away from
Ireland. Micro-level analysis of the conditions pertaining in some of
Ireland's most important foreign-dominated sectors - information technology,
pharma-chem and instrument engineering - suggests that these threats may be
overstated. The leading CEE economies, rather than drawing FDI away from
Ireland, may instead contribute to the further development of EU-wide
production networks, making the networks themselves more competitive as
global players.
The net cost to Ireland of agreements already reached on the financing of
enlargement is quite manageable. The cost to Ireland would escalate
dramatically, however, if costs and benefits were to be redistributed within
the EU in line with current income levels, entailing a substantial
transformation of the CAP transfer mechanism.

Abstract:

This article is one of a series commissioned by Government and =
Opposition
exploring identity politics in several national and international =
contexts.
Though ostensibly a civic republic, Ireland has been shaped by a certain
conception of Irish culture. Cultural claims are typically political but
have the potential to allow community interests to override concern for
individual well-being. The construction of the Irish state focused on =
the
maintenance of an idea of being Irish rather than on the welfare of =
people
throughout Ireland, both North and South. As a result, a conservative
formulation of Irish identity was locked into the state's structures.

We made the jump to IR-D at Jiscmail with only 180 members.

The total on the books is 182 - but 2 of these email addresses are my
management devices. One is the email address of the database, and the other
checks that movement to the database has taken place.

Not very long ago we had some 200 members. There is always a bit of
churning, especially at the end of the academic year when the postgraduates
move on.

But we are still loosing members to spam prevention systems.

This continues... If anyone is in touch with

Mary Hickman
m.j.hickman[at]UNL.AC.UK
Frank Neal
fneal33544[at]aol.com

tell them that it looks to me as if IR-D messages to them from Jiscmail are
being rejected by spam prevention.

Of course, AOL's spam prevention has gone crazy - since an AOL engineer sold
92 million email addresses to spammers...

Every member of IR-D should now make sure that emails from
IR-D[at]JISCMAIL.AC.UK are accepted by your email systems.

Below I have pasted in the distribution of our membership by Country. These
Listserv statistics always overestimate the number of members in the USA,
because simple .com and .edu addresses are counted as USA, which is not
always the case. But this is a fairly accurate picture of our distribution.
We used to have one member in Japan, but he moved.

I now propose to make the IR-D list more visible within the Jiscmail
systems. And see what happens.

I am not happy with the way that our IR-D FROM line is presented by the
Listserv software at Jiscmail.

When our IR-D messages are distributed the full FROM line takes this
structure... Examples...

The Irish Diaspora Studies List [IR-D[at]JISCMAIL.AC.UK]; on behalf of; William
Mulligan Jr. [billmulligan[at]MURRAY-KY.NET] The Irish Diaspora Studies List
[IR-D[at]JISCMAIL.AC.UK]; on behalf of; Patrick O'Sullivan
[P.OSullivan[at]Bradford.ac.uk]

1.
I am not happy that we are distributing IR-D members email addresses in this
way.

2.
And, it turns out, SOME email packages cannot 'see' the first part of the
line - when you hit REPLY the message goes to the email address in the
second part of the line, the email address of the IR-D member. I have
experimented with a number of email systems, and I have seen this happen.

All this may have to do with my ignorance, known Listserv problems, and the
way in which Jiscmail has Listserv set up. We are having discussions with
the Jiscmail engineers.

For the moment...

There is a simple work-around whereby all IR-D messages will appear to come
from me, with the original sender's email at the start of the email text.

If you want to reply to an IR-D message do make sure that the email address
in your TO line is
IR-D[at]JISCMAIL.AC.UK

Subject: Re: [IR-D] Article, Being Irish

Dear all

I don't know if the item below is appropriate, but when it comes to a
descriptive account of Irish identity in the diaspora, then it's as true as
anything I've ever come across!

WHAT BEING IRISH MEANS:
You will never play professional basketball.
You swear very well.
At least one of your cousins holds political office.
You think you sing very well.
You have no idea how to make a long story short.
You are very good at playing a lot of very bad golf.
There isn't a huge difference between losing your temper and killing
someone.
Much of your food was boiled.
You spent a good portion of your childhood kneeling.
You're strangely poetic after a few beers.
You're, therefore, poetic a lot.
You will be punched for no good reason...a lot.
Some punches directed at you are legacies from past generations.
Your sister will punch you because your brother punched her.
Many of your sisters are Catherine, Elizabeth or Mary....and one is Mary
Catherine Elizabeth.
Someone in your family is incredibly cheap.it is more than likely you.
You don't know the words, but that doesn't stop you from singing.
You can't wait for the other guy to stop talking so you can start talking.
Irish Stew" is the euphemism for "boiled leftovers from the fridge".
You're not nearly as funny as you think you are, but what you lack in
talent, you make up for in frequency.
There wasn't a huge difference between your last wake and your last keg
party.
You are, or know someone, named "Murph".
If you don't know Murph, then you know Mac, if you don't know Murph or Mac,
then you know Sully, and you'll probably also know Sully McMurphy.
You are genetically incapable of keeping a secret.
Your parents were on a first name basis with everyone at the local emergency
room.
And last but not least... Being Irish means... your attention span is so
short that---oh, forget it!


On a more serious note. I'm afraid these days there are two concepts I'm
sick to the back teeth of hearing 'globalisation' being one and 'identity'
the other. Put 'Irish' somewhere in the mix and you have my personal idea of
Hell.
Actually no, a conference entitled 'Globalisation and the
politics/culture/concept of Irish identity' would be closer to the truth. Me
and Dante.

The serious point is that I made the mistake of venturing into this stuff a
decade ago and nothing has moved on. It's still the same old navel gazing
Erinocentric stuff. We've just had a referendum result here which confirms
to me the basic problematic of Irish identity is still pretty much the same
old misconceived, essentialist 26 county (excluding parts of Northside
Dublin, particularly the bits where black people now live) rubbish it always
was only now it's got even narrower. Being born in the stable doesn't make
you Irish now, let alone a horse. Not only that, but it's confirmed my worst
fears about the inherently xenophobic, rather than racist, aspect of
Irishness which I've encountered most of my life

There is a discussion here that it might be good for this list to engage in,
but I'm somewhat loath to bring it up. If anyone wants to see or engage with
what I wrote 10 years ago, they're welcome to contact me off-list and I'll
send it to them.

Have a productive summer (provided it doesn't include anything on
globalisation or Irish identity stuff. In which case, well enough said).

From Patrick O'Sullivan

I think most people accepted, in the spirit in which it was sent, Liam
Greenslade's post about the Abstract of Ciar=E1n O'Kelly's Article, =
Being
Irish - see earlier IR-D message...

Carmel McCaffrey (cmcc[at]qis.net) objected to this '"tea-towel" version of
what it is to be Irish' - this epithet is so good that it deserves to be
acknowledged. There was objection to the sentence: "There isn't a huge
difference between losing your temper and killing someone".

But Liam Greenslade has laboured early and long in the vineyards, and I, =
for
one, will treat anything he has to say with respect. Once we had got =
past
the 'tea-towel' waving bit, Liam had relevant, if depressed and acerbic,
points to make about studies of 'Irishness', and especially about Irish
Diaspora Studies recurring tendency to seem to have to start from Square
One.

I myself do have some problems with Ciar=E1n O'Kelly's Article - its =
approach
is insular, but it is trying to explain an island. It ventures out to =
the
Diaspora only once, to quote Sile de Valera's (odd) speech to Boston
College, 18 September 2000. The article talks about 'cultural identity' =
and
the demands for self-determination - and contains practically nothing =
about
economics.

But I think that Liam would find much in Ciar=E1n O'Kelly's Article that =
he
agrees with...

These are Ciar=E1n O'Kelly's last 2 paragraphs... =20

'In recent years, Ireland has shifted from being a net exporter of =
people to
being a country of net immigration. Whether and how Irish identity =
adjusts
to the fact of increased pluralism remains to be seen. There has been =
some
hostility towards immigrants, and reports of racist incidents are
widespread. However, this may be temporary. It may be, as Declan =
Kiberd
suggests, a temporary response to sudden and traumatic social changes. =
(32)
Alternatively, hostility towards immigrants may simply be a reflection =
of
narrowness and intolerance in Irish society. Either way the days of
cultural homogeneity are over.

In the wake of independence, the Irish state was founded on an idea of
cultural homogeneity that competed with the needs of citizens. It may =
be,
as I said, that there was a justice-based case to be made for Irish
independence. However, taking the route of culture was a mistake. A =
state
that seeks to represent and protect an identity, rather than to =
represent
and protect individuals, will end up trading individual liberties and =
needs
in exchange for an ideal.'

Indeed, watching Irish politics and culture over the past decades, we =
have
seen the Irish state (reluctantly?) conclude that it has a duty to all =
its
people - not just the ones whose views agreed with those of founding
fathers.

I should have made more effort to put Ciar=E1n O'Kelly's Article into =
its
context.

It appeared in the journal, Government and Opposition - a very good =
journal
for anyone interested in government or, indeed, opposition. This =
journal
moved to Blackwell publishing only in 2003 - and has thus only just =
started
appearing in our electronic journal trawls.

Typically when a journal moves to one of the electronic publishers we =
get
the present day Table of Contents and Abstracts appearing - then the
electronic coverage moves forward, as new issues appear, and backwards, =
as
earlier issues are absorbed.

Ciar=E1n O'Kelly's Article was number 5 of a sequence about national
identities... I have been able to identify 2 previous articles in the
sequence, and I have the Abstract of one. Details pasted in below...

In this context I think Ciar=E1n O'Kelly's Article worked very well - in
explaining Ireland to this readership. We would certainly have objected =
if
there had been no article about Ireland...

I think that, for us, this series of Articles raises an issue that is =
around
in Diaspora Studies - to put it perhaps cynically, how very useful a
homeland in trouble and crisis is to the formation of a diasporic =
identity.=20

Being Israeli
de-Shalit, Avner

abstract

ABSTRACT
The case of Israeli identity is a good example of the paradox of =
national
identity and national self-determination. On the one hand Israelis put
forwards 'centripetal' claims about why they are part of the family of
nations. These claims are based on universal arguments and would go
hand-in-hand with universal (often liberal) values. On the other hand =
they
maintain 'centrifugal' claims, about 'breaking away', and about why =
their
nation feels different from other nations. Centrifugal claims emphasize =
a
people's uniqueness and tend to refer to particularistic morality. In =
the
case of Israeli identity, emphasizing the particularistic goes together =
with
chauvinistic attitudes towards other nations.
It is argued that the more vulnerable Israelis feel, the more they =
define
themselves in a centrifugal way, that is, by distinguishing themselves =
from
the rest of humankind. This tendency, I argue, proves a self-fulfilling
prophecy: the more a nation defines itself in centrifugal terms, the =
more
paranoid it becomes; this, in turn, serves to fan the flames of =
suspicion
even more, and sustains the nation's self-image as different, unique and
detached. The nation enters a vicious circle, which prevents it from
becoming a normal member of the family of nations.

"... a fascinating insight into the experience of Irish service users in
Britain, both past and present. It is a text that many British social
workers will - or should - be recommended to read." Caroline Skehill, =
School
of Social Work, Queen's University of Belfast

Dominant social work and social care discourses on 'race' and ethnicity
often fail to incorporate an Irish dimension. This book challenges this
omission and provides new insights into how social work has engaged with
Irish children and their families, historically and to the present day.=20

The book:

provides the first detailed exploration of social work with Irish =
children
and families in Britain;
examines archival materials to illuminate historical patterns of =
engagement;
provides an account of how social services departments in England and =
Wales
are currently responding to the needs of Irish children and families;
incorporates the views of Irish social workers;
acts as a timely intervention in the debate on social work's =
'modernisation'
agenda.

The book will be valuable to social workers, social work educators and
students. Its key themes will also fascinate those interested in 'race' =
and
ethnicity in Britain in the early 21st century.=20

Contents: Introduction; Fleeing Ireland: social exclusion and the flight =

Congratulations to Victoria University, Wellington, New Zealand - for VU has
managed to secure the services of Don MacRaild as the new Chair of History.

Our good wishes go with Don and his family, as they prepare for the long
journey. NZ's gain is certainly UK's loss.

Don takes with him a nearly completed book on the Orange Order, which we
look forward to seeing soon.

I wonder, what will Don write about in New Zealand? - whatever it is it will
be well-researched, thoughtful and a delight to read...

From Patrick O'Sullivan

I have pasted in, below, a message from Austin Lysaght of the Irish Film and
Television Network (IFTN).
Web: www.iftn.ie

The IFTN is a very useful organisation, especially necessary in an industry
whose practioners must live a roving existence - latterday Wild Geese, you
might say...

The notion of the IFTN awards has been well received, as long overdue - they
make the Irish industries more visible, and Irish achievement more visible.
Note that this year Austin Lysaght is saying...

'A vital part of what we are trying to achieve with the Awards this year,
and for future years, is to celebrate Irish talent working outside of
Ireland, to highlight that talent to people working in the industry at home,
and to aid in the development of a worldwide network of Irish talent.'

I have asked for clarification of the meaning of the word 'Irish' in this
context... I am told...

'Our eligibility rule states that "Irish" is:
a. Born in the 32 counties or
b. An Irish citizen or
c. Resident in Ireland for more than five consecutive years.'

The Awards Categories 2004, and details of the Call for Entries will be
published on 5 July 2004.

The Deadline for Entries is 11th August 2004.

Call for Entries information will include:

- Categories
- Definitions
- Criteria
- Submissions
- Eligibility
- Adjudication
- Entry Form (checklist and entry fees).

P.O'S.



From: IFTN
Subject: Irish Film & Television Awards 2004

The Irish Film and Television Awards were established to celebrate Irish
talent working both at home and abroad in the film and television industries
and to raise the profile of Irish talent in the international arena.

A vital part of what we are trying to achieve with the Awards this year, and
for future years, is to celebrate Irish talent working outside of Ireland,
to highlight that talent to people working in the industry at home, and to
aid in the development of a worldwide network of Irish talent.

All sectors of the industry in Ireland are fully supportive of the Awards -
the Awards Committee represents all aspects of the industry, including
an Oscar nominated writer and director (Jim Sheridan), an international film
star (Colin Farrell), one of Ireland's top producers (Morgan O'Sullivan), a
distributor (Trish Long), a writer/director (Conor McPherson), cultural and
policy advisors in Ireland and Europe (Grainne Humphreys/Siobhan O'Donoghue)
plus the producers' representative agency director (Malcolm Byrne).

Many major names from both the Irish and Worldwide film industries attended
the awards ceremony last year including Charlize Theron, Aidan Quinn, Ralph
Fiennes, Bono, Jim Sheridan, Stephen Rea and Neil Jordan.

Jury members in 2003 included Ed Pressman, Thaddeus O'Sullivan, Oscar winner
Michelle Burke, Oscar winner Tom Johnston, Declan Quinn, Oscar winner Chris
Menges and Ros Hubbard.

Neil Jordan (Recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award 2003): "Its a new
departure for the Irish Film & Television industry as a whole and long
overdue. These awards are quite a phenomenon; a lot of people are coming
from abroad. There's quite a few successful movies. Its a recognition of
what has been happening over the last 10 years & a celebration of it"

The awards are organised by Irish Film and Television Network (IFTN).
Established in 1995, IFTN is the gateway to the Irish film and television
industry. IFTN is Ireland's only independent agency providing information
about the Irish film and television industry to the world at large.

Full details about the Awards are available on our website,

Some IR-D housekeeping items...

1.
SPAM
I have had to do something about the amount of Spam email I am getting.

One of my email addresses I have now abandoned. Anyone who has ever used
patrickos[at]lineone.net should never use it again.

Sadly, osullivan[at]irishdiaspora.net is being deluged with spam. I will
continue to monitor that email address, but will use it less and less.

I have created an alternative. IR-D members who need to contact me outside
the University of Bradford system should use
Patrick O'Sullivan

2.
Our Web Sites
The last time I checked, keying the words 'Irish Diaspora' into Google gave
my web sites as numbers 1 and 2... Which is a bit alarming...

The University of Bradford web site will disappear soon, leaving behind
something more simple that points to www.irishdiaspora.net.

On irishdiaspora.net, prompted by our colleagues at Sobolstones (who want to
see what happens), I have created some 'associate' links to Amazon.co.uk.

I am not really sure what I think about this... But, in the end, I guess
that we must be in the business of telling people about books, and as
writers we must be interested in selling books. I was reassured when the
first items that the Amazon.co.uk software picked up and displayed on
irishdiaspora.net were books by Kevin Kenny and by Breda Gray.

I took this as a sign...

Though Amazon.co.uk keeps trying to turn Breda Gray into Brenda... I
remember talking to Breda about this pattern when she was in England... Oh,
how we laughed...

I have emailed Amazon with a correction to their catalogue...

I suppose I should create an 'associate' link to Amazon.com too - it is a
separate organisation.

3.
No to MIME and HTML.
Do not send messages in MIME or HTML to IR-D[at]JISCMAIL.AC.UK.

Out of consideration to all those IR-D members sitting at the end of rusty
modems I have set up IR-D to distribute only messages in Plain Format email.

Jiscmail uses software called MIMEDefang to strip out the MIME codes. This
works only to a certain extent.


4.
Modesty
This has become something of a standard answer to an FAQ...

Modesty is not an Irish Diaspora virtue.

Modesty works as a virtue only within closed elites, or other closed
communities - where everybody who matters already knows how good you are.

The IR-D list should know about its members' work and their contributions to
our work. And we should know about Irish Diaspora Studies developments
elsewhere. Send information directly to IR-D[at]JISCMAIL.AC.UK. Or, if you
are at all doubtful, email me at patrickos[at]irishdiaspora.net.

Email Patrick O'Sullivan

In January, 2004, a company which already owned a variety of web resources
and search facilities re-launched itself as
HighBeamT Research, LLC,
www.highbeam.com.

Highbeam is a commercial organisation - full membership costs $99.95 a year.

I find the Highbeam web site a bit of a pain - this is clearly deliberate.
As you try to make the thing work, you get sucked in to trial membership,
but only after passing on lots of information.

I came across the Highbeam web site in my own never-ending search for Tables
of Contents...

Suddenly, issues of Irish University Review have started to appear on the
Highbeam web site...

As I say, an annoying web site. But a basic starting point is...

http://static.highbeam.com/i/irishuniversityreviewajournalofirishstudies/

However, there is actually more on the Highbeam site than is listed there -
including the very latest issue, Anne Fogarty's special on Augusta
Gregory... (Of which more later...)

One feature of the Highbeam web site that is not immediately clear to new
users is that some of the material it discovers is in fact already
available, for free, elsewhere on the web.

What is the background to the appearance of Irish University Review on this
web site? Has there been discussion within Irish University Review and
within IASIL about the decision to go down this particular route to web
publication?

Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Email Patrick O'Sullivan

Irish University Review, Spring/Summer 2004, Vol 34, No 1, is now being
distributed - it goes automatically to all members of IASIL.

This is a Special Issue - and it is a very important Special Issue, a Lady
Gregory Special Issue, which I think every Irish literature specialist in
the world will want.

Irish University Review is one of the journals which gives me trouble - I
can never get hold of a Table of Contents...

I had especially wanted to distribute a TOC for this issue - if/when one
reaches me, I will distribute it.

For the TOC shows why this is such a significant special issue - with
articles on Gregory and... Raftery, Italy, Nationalism (a lot), Wilfrid
Blunt and London, the Abbey tour, History, Yeats (a lot), women, Martin
McDonagh and Beckett. Cumulatively this is a new vision of Gregory and her
influence - or, perhaps to put it better, it is an attempt to show Augusta
Gregory's central, coherent place.

The eye is immediately caught by Roy Foster's essay on 'Yeats and the Death
of Lady Gregory' - which is an excellent, and moving, use of much background
knowledge. But there are many excellent articles here - so far I have
carefully read Lucy McDiarmid, because of my interest in Blunt, and Anthony
Roche, because of my interest in theatre. But all will be read and notes
taken.

Editor Anne Fogarty is be to congratulated on a fine piece of work. It
takes nothing away from her hard work if I say that this re-estimation of
Augusta Gregory is timely, and about time. In her brief Introduction Anne
Fogarty looks at possible reasons for past neglect (and indeed belittling)
of Gregory...

On a train of thought, in this issue of IUR Douglas Archibald cautiously
offers some criticism - albeit in the form of rhetorical questions - of
Foster's life of Yeats. These are, perhaps, really criticisms of strategic
decisions. My main problem with Foster's book is that, late at night, my
tired brain starts seeing the hero's name as Webby...

Back to Lady Gregory... What other writers do we refer to in this formal
way? Mrs. Gaskell? Lord Byron?
