Mapping city, town and country since 1824: the Ordnance Survey in Ireland - RIA Library/IHTA Lunchtime Lectures
Lecture delivered by Paul Walsh on behalf of Prof. Ó Muraíle.
This paper addresses the difficulties of naming places in Ireland, the work done by the OS Topographical Dept. and especially John O'Donovan to ensure that names used on the 6" maps were as accurate as possible. The difficulties presented by the Irish language, the methodologies used by Placenames staff and the tensions between accommodating the Irish language origins or versions of names and later Anglicised forms are discussed, as are the compromises which were made. The accuracy of O'Donovan's method is assessedPaul Walsh, 'George Petrie's "Topographical Department" 1835-42'. 15-10-2014
The document summarizes the work of George Petrie and the "Topographical Department" from 1835-1842 in compiling detailed maps and historical records for Ireland. It outlines how Lieutenant Thomas Larcom conceived of collecting additional local information beyond just maps. George Petrie was put in charge of the "orthography and etymology" work of gathering over 144,000 place names and other details about the landscape, settlements, and history of Ireland to accompany the maps. The project aimed to provide a comprehensive geographical information system of maps integrated with historical and cultural memoirs of each area of Ireland.
Prof. Michael Herity, MRIA, 'John O'Donovan's work for the OS'. 29-10-2014
Mapping City, town and country since 1824: the Ordnance Survey in Ireland - RIA Library/IHTA Lunchtime Lectures
Herity focusses on the period 1830-61 and O'Donovan's involvement with the OS 6" mapping project and the centrality of his role. His expertise in the Irish language and grasp of etymology, as well as his intimate knowledge of the history and antiquities of Ireland, resulted in the connection of 'placenames with history... raising them above mere words'. The importance of O'Donovan's fieldwork, keen ear, in-depth knowledge and forensic research are described, as are the treks he engaged in on a daily basis throughout the country. His connection with Petrie's work on Tara is adverted to. Betham's vituperative criticisms and the consequent scrutiny of the Memoir scheme and the OS work is discussed. Examples are provided of O'Donovan's linguistic prowess and his acerbic wit.
Ancient Celts Interactive Map
The document discusses the locations where ancient Celtic people lived, including Greece, Northern Italy, England, and Scotland. It provides details on the Celtic arrival and settlement in each location. In Scotland, the Celts arrived in 700 BC and settled in northern Ireland and western Scotland, eventually dominating the native Picts. In Northern Italy, the Celts sacked Rome in 390 BC and battled the Romans for years before being defeated. The Celts also settled in parts of England during the Iron Age and impressed the Greeks with their appearance, being introduced to writing and chariots.
Pastoral art
The document discusses the history and development of pastoral art from early Roman wall paintings through the Renaissance and into the 19th century Industrial era. It provides examples of pastoral paintings from various time periods including works by Giorgione, Poussin, Claude Lorrain, Constable, Cole, and Eakins. It also briefly outlines some key events and developments in English history from the 17th through 19th centuries including the English Civil War, Great Fire of London, Glorious Revolution, and Industrial Revolution.
Irlande Alexis et Gjuvan
Ireland is divided into two parts: the independent Republic of Ireland, composed of 26 counties with its capital in Dublin, and Northern Ireland, which is part of the United Kingdom and composed of 6 counties with its capital in Belfast. The first inhabitants of Ireland arrived around 9,000 BC and developed agriculture and tools. Celtic civilization emerged in the 6th century BC, introducing Gaelic language and traditions like dolmens. Ireland was later invaded by Vikings and Anglo-Normans starting in the 10th century AD.
Picts
The document discusses various topics related to Pictish culture in Scotland between the 5th and 9th centuries CE, including Pictish art, stone sculptures, illuminated manuscripts, Ogham scripts, and migration period art. Specific objects mentioned include the Nigg stone from 790-799 CE depicting Pictish symbols and warriors. Pictish culture is primarily known through stone monuments and symbols found in Scotland north of the Clyde and Forth rivers.
Jewellery
James Cox was an 18th century English goldsmith and entrepreneur who produced lavishly ornamented articles for trade with India and China. While initially successful, Cox spent most of his life as an entrepreneur rather than just a goldsmith. Silver-topped gold, an innovation by Cox allowing silver to be backed by gold, was an important development as it allowed gems to be set in white metal without tarnishing skin. Fortunato Pio Castellani was a 19th century Italian jeweler who founded Castellani, an Italian jewelry company known for its Etruscan style revival designs.

The origin
The early history of Britain was shaped by successive invasions over centuries. The Celts first arrived in Britain around 700-600 BC and built structures like Stonehenge. The Romans then invaded in the 1st century AD and controlled southern Britain until 410 AD, leaving behind constructions like Hadrian's Wall. Following the Romans' departure, the Anglo-Saxons invaded and established kingdoms across Britain in the 5th-6th centuries AD. The last invasion was by the Normans in 1066 AD under William the Conqueror.
Iron Age Ireland
The Celts arrived in Ireland during the Iron Age. They lived in large groups called tuaths, each led by a king known as a Rí. They built homes for protection, including raths on land and crannógs on water. The Celts had many gods in their religion and druids served as priests.

The celts
The Celts lived in Britain before the Romans arrived during the Iron Age. Archaeologists have found evidence of Celtic settlements and daily life through accidental discoveries of remains as well as artifacts made of stone and metal that have survived underground. While the Celts did not write, the Romans documented how they lived in roundhouses with thatched roofs, sometimes made of stone or wattle and daub depending on available materials. Celtic families lived together in protected settlements of multiple roundhouses.

Celtic culture in_britain
Before the Romans, Celtic tribes lived in small agricultural villages in Britain. They lived in round houses made of mud, wattle, and daub. For defense, villages were sometimes part of hill forts, remnants of which can still be seen today. Celtic men trained as warriors to defend their tribes from attacks, using shields, swords, cavalry, and chariots. Powerful Druids administered law, conducted rituals in oak groves, and sometimes performed human sacrifices to ensure good harvests or ward off danger. The Celts had various nature gods and decorated their clothing with complicated designs of jewelry like brooches and torcs.

However, within a year many new shops and businesses opened to serve the thousands of miners passing through the city on their way to the gold fields. The streets were crowded with lucky miners spending money. Additionally, about 250 immigrants were arriving each day seeking gold from all over the world.
The first sight that greeted arriving immigrants after their long sea voyage was the hundreds of deserted ships crowding Hobson's Bay. Many ships' crews and captains had abandoned their vessels to try prospecting for gold themselves, leaving no one left to sail the ships away. It was

Ning blog 1: Captain James Cook
Captain James Cook was a British explorer, navigator, cartographer, and captain in the Royal Navy. He made detailed maps of Newfoundland prior to making three voyages of scientific discovery in the Pacific Ocean. During his first voyage from 1768 to 1771, Cook mapped New Zealand and the east coast of Australia and returned to England with many botanical specimens. His second voyage from 1772 to 1775 took him back to the Pacific where he became the first European to visit the Hawaiian Islands. Cook's third and final voyage from 1776 to 1779 saw him attempt to discover the fabled Northwest Passage but he was killed in Hawaii in 1779.

Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin in 1928 accidentally while investigating bacteria. He found that a mold called penicillin had grown on some old petri dishes and killed the bacteria. Fleming could not afford further research, but during World War II some scientists received funding and developed penicillin into an important antibiotic that has saved millions of lives. The Scottish potato famine in the 1800s similarly affected the Scottish Highlands as the potato blight that caused Ireland's famine spread across Europe. The crop failure left many Highlanders destitute and forced thousands to leave their homes to escape the famine's effects, with many emigrating worldwide. Winnie Ewing was a prominent Scottish National Party politician who became the first SNP MP in 1967 and later served as

The 1916 uprising in Dublin lasted 6 days, from Easter Monday to Saturday. It was led by the Irish Volunteers and Irish Citizen Army who took over several buildings in Dublin, with their headquarters at the General Post Office. Over 1,200 rebels participated in the uprising against British rule. There was heavy fighting and many casualties, including over 400 rebels killed and 2,000 injured. In the aftermath, 15 rebel leaders were executed by British authorities. The uprising failed militarily but succeeded in galvanizing Irish public opinion and was a key event on the path towards Irish independence.

Day describes the work of the OS and in particular, of the Hill Drawing and Topographical Departments. She refers to the intellectual breadth of Colby and Larcom, the two key drivers of the Survey in Ireland and their connections with the main intellectual societies in Britain and Europe. The role played by the Irish Survey vis-à-vis the Trigonometrical Survey of India, led by George Everest, is discussed. The military training included drawing skills and some of the major exponents of artistic endeavour in the military wing of the OS are presented. Finally, the 1,600 drawings contained in the OS Memoirs are discussed in terms of their content, level of skill and their role in the Survey.Colin Bray, CE, OSi, 'Ordnance Survey Ireland: mapping our future'. 19-11-2014.

Royal Irish Academy Conference: Spatial Justice and the Irish Crisis
23 April, 2013, Academy House
The on-going crisis and associated responses to it (political, governance, popular etc.) provides an entry point for a wide-ranging exploration of spatial justice as a theoretical construct and a departure point for empirical analysis. Discourses of justice, equality and fairness remain central to a range of interconnected debates as Ireland seeks to recover from the interrelated collapses of the banking system and property markets and the knock on effects through the rest of society and the economy. Scale is an important dimension in framing and constructing popular discourses concerning issues of justice, e.g. the role of EU institutions in shaping Ireland’s treatment of banking debt or the impact of national budgetary measures on particular places. The focus of this conference is on understanding these spatially connected processes, how they are functioning at different scales, their impact on particular or specific places and spaces, as they give rise to new or evolving social and economic geographies.Spatial Justice and the Irish Crisis: Emigration - Piaras Mac Éinrí
This document discusses spatial justice and emigration from Ireland. It notes that while many saw high emigration in the 1950s as normal, others felt it was driven by economic constraints. More recently, emigration is more voluntary as the emigrants are highly educated youth seeking opportunities abroad. The concept of "spatial justice" and how spaces are produced socially is discussed as a framework for understanding emigration patterns. While useful, spatial factors alone do not determine who emigrates - class, gender, ethnicity and other social factors are also important predictors. A multifaceted approach is needed to understand the cultural, geographic, economic and policy drivers of emigration and its impacts.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
