(This study uses data contained in an 1824 British Parliam...)
This study uses data contained in an 1824 British Parliamentary Inquiry to carry out a comprehensive analysis of the extent of the Irish schools system in the early 19th century. This inquiry was undertaken some years before the introduction of the national school system in Ireland. In an international context, the comprehensive nature of this information is most unusual for an early 19th-century state. The book examines this data to analyze: the geographical pattern of male/female and Catholic/Protestant school attendance at that time * the scale of payments by parents (few children, and then mainly those of Anglican parents, received free education) * the extent to which this pattern may have been influenced by various factors, such as geography, religion, and urbanization * the degree to which children of differing religions in different parts of the country shared the same schools. The analysis shows that there was a fair amount of mixed denominational education at the time. It also shows that, at that stage, 'hedge schools' were almost all taking place in some kind of structure - the idea of a literal hedge school is misinformed. Data is presented on the number of children at school, what gender they were, what they paid for school, their religious affiliation, etc.

(Garret FitzGerald is an economist, statistician, journali...)
Garret FitzGerald is an economist, statistician, journalist, barrister, historian and politician who was twice Taoiseach of Ireland in the 1980s. This autobiography of an Irish Prime Minister includes political recollection and the story of the author's private life, including his marriage. The son of a Catholic father and a Protestant mother, his background bred in him a deep commitment to reconciliation in Ireland. He first entered politics while still a university lecturer in economics, having already established himself as a formidable advocate of social reform and modern economic thinking in Ireland. While he was an important figure in the growth and consolidation of the European Community it was Northern Ireland, however, which most engaged Garrett FitzGerlad's political and personal concern. This book includes his full account of the New Ireland Forum and of the complex negotiations for the Anglo-Irish Agreement of 1985 and he writes of the most significant diplomatic achievements of his career. He describes, in detail, his relations with numerous British political figures during the time and notes their personal characteristics and style.

(Here is Garret FitzGerald the person from the young new...)
Here is Garret FitzGerald the person from the young newlywed in his first job, to the Taoiseach grappling with economic crises and dealing with world leaders like Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan. Just Garret is the personal account of the public and private lives of a man who led his country through a hugely turbulent period of history always with intelligence and finesse. FitzGerald reflects candidly on his hugely varied career: his central role in the Anglo-Irish Agreement, Irelands place in the EU on the global stage, and the threat posed to the state by IRA atrocities. He writes of the lighter moments of his professional life including the discovery of spies in the Stillorgan Shopping Centre. Even after such a full political life, FitzGerald remained fully engaged with Irish society and politics, bringing his characteristic steady hand and razor-sharp insight to the issues of the day in his weekly Irish Times column and elsewhere. In these troubled times, where cynicism and disillusionment are sometimes in the ascendant, here are valuable words of wisdom and experience from someone who had seen it all before and who always remained determinedly optimistic about Irelands future. This new, revised edition of the best-selling autobiography features numerous previously unpublished family photographs, Father Enda McDonaghs eulogy given at Dr FitzGeralds funeral, and a reflection by Garret FitzGerald on his beloved wife, Joan.
