The lecture is entitled Poetics of the Stranger: Hospitality and Imagination.
Following the success on last Monday’s lecture, St. Patrick’s College is pleased to announce that Professor Richard Kearney will give the next lecture in the Seamus Heaney Lecture Series on Monday next 2 March @ 8.00pm in the College. The lecture is entitled Poetics of the Stranger: Hospitality and Imagination. There are further details on the lecture below and on www.spd.dcu.ie/shl. Those of you who were unable to attend Dr. Máirín Nic Eoin’s lecture on 2 February (Cultúr na Gaeilge nó Pobal na Gaeilge? Irish Language and Identity from Douglas Hyde to Des Bishop) due to the snow, may like to know that you can listen to the lecture on www.spd.dcu.ie/shl.

Seelig Chair of Philosophy at Boston College http://www2.bc.edu/~kearneyr Chair: Dr Andrew O’Shea, Senior Tutor and Acting Co Director of the MA in Human Development, St. Patrick’s College St Patrick’s College Drumcondra is pleased to announce the next lecture in the current Seamus Heaney Lecture Series. The lecture will be given by Professor Richard Kearney on Monday March 2nd at 8.00p.m. in St. Patrick’s College. Richard Kearney holds the Charles B. Seelig Chair of Philosophy at Boston College and has served as a Visiting Professor at University College Dublin, the University of Paris (Sorbonne) and the University of Nice. Among his accomplishments he is the author of over 20 books on European philosophy and literature (including two novels and a volume of poetry). He has presented several series on culture and philosophy for Irish and/or British television and has broadcast extensively on the European media. In this sixth lecture in the Heaney Lecture series, Professor Kearney focuses his attention on issues of identity and otherness, drawing on philosophical and religious traditions which have frequently articulated a concern for the other through reflection, psalms, poetry, parables etc. Recent debates around identity, inclusion and interculturalism have posed significant challenges to the viability of our cultural heritage in helping us to understand our deepest concerns regarding the alterity implicit in human co-existence. Drawing on his most recent work, Richard Kearney focuses on the possibility of interpreting our received languages of the other in the context of postmodern scepticism. His lecture analyses how many wisdom traditions are founded on a wager between the stranger as enemy or guest. Looking at a series of texts and verses where this wager between primary hospitality and hostility is staged, the lecture will examine some of the critical implications of this existential decision for our contemporary culture and society. The lecture will be chaired by Dr. Andrew O’Shea, Senior Tutor, St. Patrick’s College. The audience will have an opportunity to address questions to Richard after his input. Admission is free. Refreshments will be served after the lecture. See www.spd.dcu.ie/shl for further details. We would be grateful if you could spread the word among your friends and colleagues.

Integration and Identities in Europe
The City of Dublin Forum
Featuring the
European Works Photography Exhibition
“As Europeans, we have common interests – interests that we must learn to advance together. Beyond interests, we must be able to meet the challenges
of memory and to build a common vision. To know our origins can better enable us to found this common vision. It is through the dialectic between ideal and necessity, between memory and reasoned discernment, between recognition
of what was and the invention of what will be, that Europe is being built”
Jacques Delors, Founding President of Notre Europe
Nearly twenty years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, and five years after the enlargement of May 2004, the transformations across Europe have acquired unprecedented dimensions. Hundreds of thousands of Europeans have been able to uproot themselves from their familiar surroundings and to cross borders in order to go live, work, or study elsewhere. Within the new frames posed by the unification of Europe, they establish novel links; they re-negotiate their primary identities; they form and transform themselves. What are the implications in terms of our relationship to the other? How do these changes affect our senses
of belonging? To what extent do they alter our vision of the past and our views
for the future?
In conjunction with Notre Europe (a European think-tank founded by Jacques Delors), the Office for Integration of Dublin City Council will host a discussion forum entitled “Integration and Identities in Europe – The City of Dublin Forum”, on 11th March 2009. It will commence with an informed exchange of views on the making of contemporary European identity, followed by a session which
addresses the issue of integration in our city.
Contemporary forms and meanings of European belonging
The Forum will be introduced by Dr. Garret FitzGerald, Chancellor of the National University of Ireland and former Taoiseach. It will proceed with a series of lectures which discuss the shifting forms and contemporary meanings of European belonging, as seen from Ireland. This morning session will be held in the Chester Beatty Library, Dublin Castle from 9am –12.30 pm.
This discussion will be followed by the formal opening of the European Works photography exhibition by the Lord Mayor of Dublin, Eibhlin Byrne, at 1pm, at the City Hall, Dame Street. This exhibition presents images and stories collected in six emblematic European cities by the researchers of Notre Europe and the photographers of Agence VU’. Thus Dublin is one of the six milestones of a European journey which also takes us to Łódz, Malmö, Timişoara, Turin, and Belgrade.
Integration: A City Dialogue
The Office for Integration of Dublin City Council will then hold a round table aimed at fostering the dialogue on integration at the city level (2.30pm – 4.30pm, Chester Beatty Library, Dublin Castle). It will gather all the stakeholders who are facilitating the integration of the immigrant population in Dublin city.
This roundtable will outline the progress made to date on the development of integration policy at city level within the overall strategy “Towards Integration –
A City Framework”; it will also be an occasion to listen to and explore a range of
issues through which together we can further develop and strengthen this process.
The topic’s relevance is only heightened, with the economic and social vulnerability of our country now evident, and protectionist temptations potentially re-surfacing. It is appropriate to tackle these issues in the week of the St.Patrick’s Festival, which celebrates our national identity and gives expression to the new diversity of Dublin – a city which is today home to Poles, Chinese, Lithuanian, and
Nigerians amongst others.

The Five Lamps Arts Festival
Rationale
To have an annual arts festival which is area based but not exclusively so, as it is an arts festival and so some of the audience may stretch to geographical areas which are outside the immediate area.
The festival is to be based roughly in the Five Lamps area and the venues to be as follows, Connolly House, St Agatha’s hall and church, Ballybough community centre, Carleton Hall, East Wall theatre, Charleville Mall library and some other local venues. There are a number of commercial venues that have agreed to take visual art.
I work in the geographical area and in the arts area so I want this to work. My vision is to have an arts festival which is all encompassing in that it embraces all art forms and that it would over time bring the arts to a new audience. I want the local community to have a respect and an enthusiasm for the arts. I don’t want the festival or what it does to seem as if it is being imposed on the locale. I want it to grow. I believe that the arts can be an enabling factor in community development. There are a number of communities in the area,
The indigenous Dublin inner city community, this community is further divided into sub-groups attached to various parishes e.g. St Laurence O’Tooles, East Wall, St Agatha’s
Irish students/young people living and renting in the area who may move out to the suburbs or back to where they come from
Various transient non-national groups from Africa, India, China, Brazil, Russia, Poland etc
The population of workers who spend a lot of their working day in the area but at night go back to the suburbs.
Commuters on their way to work that pass through the area
Proposed Time-table for the festival
Monday 20th April
Play by Canadian writer directed by Laura Thornton. This is a one-man show about a gay man who is murdered and the story is told by various characters that live near the main character. 8pm in Connolly House at the five lamps
Tuesday 21st April The Five Lamps Theatre Company
A walk called Aristocrats and Dockers led by Pat Liddy which will include St Agatha’s church about 5pm
A new play by Niamh Gleeson in a rehearsed reading Eithne McGuiness, Cliona Cassidy and Sean McDonagh. This is Dear Frankie based on the life of Frankie Byrne
Wednesday 22nd April
Puca Puppets
Niamh Lawlor will do two shows in the Library for the festival. The shows are to be aimed at younger children. I think we should encourage the children in the schools to be the audience. She is going to do a show in Sherriff Street community centre for the festival so I will have to organise a time for this
Opening of the Visual Arts section of the festival. The venue has yet to be decided for this but it may be Ballybough Community centre
Thursday 23rd April
6pm Launch of a book of poetry by Gerry McDonnell about the Ballybough area. This is a possibility as I have to ask Donal O’Kelly if he would mind doing this before his own show
The Cambria by Donal O’Kelly in Liberty Hall at 8pm. This is wonderful show based on the writings of Douglas an escaped slave who became a friend of Daniel O’Connell
Friday 24th April
Traditional music concert in
Liberty Hall by Ceoltori Clontarf
Saturday 25th April and Sunday 26th April
Drawing Room Opera Company recital (Connolly House or church or Hall)

SAFEGAURD SOCIAL WELFARE, MAINTAIN MINIMUM WAGE المظاهرة تكون يوم السبت 21 فبراير الساعة الثانية من بهارنيل سكوير بدبلن
مظاهرات نقابات العمال ضد تخفيض الحد الادني للاجور
WHEN LESS = NOT ENOUGH
SAFEGAURD SOCIAL WELFARE, MAINTAIN MINIMUM WAGE
As the world marks UN World Day for Social Justice this Friday 20TH February, EAPN Ireland calls on the Irish government not to attempt to achieve public savings at the expense of the weakest sections of society. In particular, we call on the government to oppose any lowering of minimum wage and welfare levels.
Anna Visser, Director of EAPN Ireland stated that 'The principle guiding the solutions to our public finances and the current economic crisis must be the protection of the most vulnerable'. 'This is not the time,' she continued, 'for us to make the situation of the poorest in our society even worse, therefore, it is vital for government to maintain the current levels of social welfare'. Ms Visser pointed out that 'according to an EU Survey on Income and Living Conditions in Ireland 2007, those on social welfare payments and 6.7% of the working poor were already at risk of poverty.' 'It is totally unacceptable,' she insisted, 'for these people who least benefited from the boom to be made to pay the price for its excesses.'
EAPN is currently running a European campaign on minimum income and strongly believes that adequate minimum income schemes are a fundamental prerequisite for an EU based on social justice and equal opportunity for all. As Ireland prepares to celebrate UN World Day for Social Justice, EAPN Ireland strongly urges the Irish government, as a signatory to the UN Covenant on Economic Social and Cultural Rights which recognises 'the right of everyone to an adequate standard of living for himself and his family', not to entertain any attempts at cutting social welfare and minimum wage levels.
EAPN Ireland will be taking part in Saturday's demonstration organised by the ICTU, and supports the protest in its opposition to measures which hurt most those who can bear it least— people on low paid employment, the unemployed and people on welfare.

Notes to the Editor:
UN World Day for Social Justice
In November 2007 UN member states committed themselves to devoting the 20th February to the promotion of social justice at national, regional and international level. To achieve their commitment to creating "a society for all" national governments worldwide pledged to promote the equitable distribution of income and greater access to resources through equality and opportunity for all. It is hoped that observance of the day will contribute to the further consolidation of the efforts of the international community in poverty eradication, especially through promotion of full employment and decent work, gender equity and access to social well-being and justice for all.

The Irish Congress of Trade Unions (ICTU), the umbrella group of 55 unions representing about 600,000 members in the Republic of Ireland, has called for a National Demonstration for February 21, to protest government measures that threaten to lower living standards of the weakest sections of society. The march will set off from Dublin's Parnell Square at 2pm. See: http://www.ictu.ie/

"Pathways to Parental Leadership" research seminar
Govt must maintain its commitment to integration: Sr Stan Kennedy
ICI calls on TDs to end criticism of migrant workers
Immigration, Residence and Protection Bill update
Narratives of Diversity in Europe seminar
Trafficking research project nears completion
Launch of one-stop-shop project handbook
"Pathways to Parental Leadership" research seminar
The ICI outlined the preliminary findings of the first stage of its "Pathways to Parental Leadership" research project at a joint session of its transnational steering committee and advisory committee at UCD yesterday.
This phase of the research, which involved qualitative interviews with school principals, teachers and other staff, identified lack of English language proficiency as a significant barrier to maximising migrant parents' involvement in their children's school life. The interviews also revealed that schools are developing a range of innovative ways to encourage parental involvement.
The seminar was also a platform for sharing learning by participants from Ireland, Scotland, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Denmark and Germany. ICI Founder Sr Stan Kennedy opened the seminar, which also was addressed by Minister for Integration Conor Lenihan.
Govt must maintain its commitment to integration: Sr Stan Kennedy
The Government must resist any temptation to make further cuts to funding for integration if it is serious about wanting to "prevent the mistakes" of other countries, in terms of their experiences of immigration, from happening here, ICI Founder Sr Stan Kennedy said yesterday.
Sr Stan told the "Pathways to Parental Leadership" research project seminar at UCD yesterday that any dilution of the Government's commitment to developing and implementing effective integration policies in relation to education could have a lasting impact on the educational achievement of migrant children or the children of migrants and effectively promote segregation.
"It is crucial that the work that has begun in Ireland in terms of integration policy development is allowed to continue and that there are no further cut backs in resources to schools which will impact hardest on the most vulnerable students," Sr Stan said.
"As a country, we have only taken the first steps towards developing and implementing integration policies and strategies. Now is not the time to curtail this work as social harmony and cohesion in the future may well depend on it."
ICI calls on TDs to end criticism of migrant workers
Chief Executive Denise Charlton has called on TDs to think about the consequences of their actions if they try to lay the blame for Ireland's economic woes at the feed of migrants.
Denise said recent calls by two TDs for a "clampdown" on work permits for non-EU citizens illustrate a lack of understanding of Ireland's immigration system, would not help create jobs and may generate unnecessary resentment in the community.
"There are already tough criteria that must be met before a work permit can be issued, including a labour market test to see if a suitably qualified Irish or EU citizen is able to take the job," Denise said.
Despite the current high unemployment rate in Ireland, there would still be jobs that can't be filled locally. In addition, many migrants now call Ireland home and the TDs' comments could create resentment against people with a right to live here and whose contributions are valued and necessary.
The number of work permits issued and renewed has fallen significantly over the past year.
Immigration, Residence and Protection Bill update
The Immigrant Council of Ireland has begun lobbying Senators to seek the amendment of the Immigration, Residence and Protection Bill 2008.
The ICI remains concerned about aspects of the legislation which are unclear, unfair and in breach of Ireland's constitution and international human rights obligations. The ICI's submissions to Senators include a series of detailed suggested amendments aimed at overcoming these serious problems.
The Bill has been debated at Committee Stage but has yet to reach Report Stage. After that, it will be debated in the Senate.
Narratives of Diversity in Europe seminar
Research and Integration Officer Fidèle Mutwarasibo gave a presentation to the Narratives of Diversity in Europe seminar in Berlin recently on the need to ensure migrants have the opportunity to participate in public discourse on migration, integration and diversity.
Fidèle argued that migrants are often absent from public discussion on these issues and, although some migrants may need support to engage in such public discourse, the support should not be paternalistic.
The seminar brought together museum curators, academics, researchers and migrants from the UK, Germany, Italy, Turkey, Luxemburg, France, the Netherlands and Ireland. It was a follow up to a seminar held in Berlin in October 2008, entitled, "Migration in Museums: Narratives of Diversity in Europe". For further information, please contact Fidèle – http://us.mc317.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=fidele@immigrantcouncil.ie
Trafficking research project nears completion
The advisory committee for the ICI's research project examining the intersection of sex trafficking, migration and the Irish sex industry held its final meeting last week to comment on the draft report prepared by the researchers.
The committee's shared opinion was that the research was very complex, the first of its kind in Ireland and would fill a gap in information about the issue of trafficking and exploitation of migrant women in Ireland.
The committee has met four times since the research was commissioned in late 2007 to provide support and comment on the researchers' work. For more information, please contact ICI Anti-Trafficking Coordinator Nusha Yonkova – http://us.mc317.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=nusha@immigrantcouncil.ie
Launch of one-stop-shop project handbook
Research and Integration Officer Fidèle Mutwarasibo highlighted the need to ensure that public services delivery to migrants respects their dignity during his presentation at the launch of a handbook on one-stop-shop service provision to migrants.
The handbook, launched in Lisbon last Friday (February 6), was jointly produced by a transnational advisory committee for the EU-sponsored project. The ICI was Ireland's representative on the committee. In his presentation, Fidèle said adoption of the one-stop-shop model would send a positive message to migrants.
Other speakers at the launch included Professor Rinus Penninx of the IMISCOE Network of Excellence, University of Amsterdam, Schiefer Martin, deputy head of the Immigration and Integration Unit, European Commission, Michele Klein Solomon, Director of Migration Policy, Research and Communications, IOM Geneva, Pedro Silva Pereira, Minister of the Presidency of Council of Ministers, Portugal, and Christos Zois, Deputy Minister of the Interior, Greece. The handbook can be accessed at http://www.oss.inti.acidi.gov.pt/

I wish to invite you to attend our annual 'Champions of Equality' lecture
Dear Member,On behalf of the University College Dublin Equality Society, I wish to invite you to attend our annual 'Champions of Equality' lecture on the 12th February 2009. This year's address will be by Mr. Niall Crowley, former CEO of the Equality Authority on the topic of 'Equality: The Search for Solutions in a time of crisis'. As you will no doubt be aware, the events of the last couple of months have left many bewildered and aghast at the management of our current Economic reality. Unfortunately this reality has seen an unbridled dismantling of the Equality infrastructure within the Republic of Ireland. The budgetary cuts of the National Disability Authority, Legal Aid Board, the Data Protection Commission and of course the most dramatic 43% cut in new funding of the Equality Authority has seen the effective disarming of civil society at a time when we all need to acknowledge our rights and responsibilities. Mr. Crowley's address to the society, will examine some of these issues while also looking forward to seek solutions in our present situation.The forum is open to all sections of society and after Mr. Crowley's address there will be a questions and answers session followed by a wine and cheese reception. The event will commence at 7.30pm sharp. We hope that you will join us at this year's lecture and help to contribute to that process. Attached is a copy of the poster for the event ('Champions of Equality - 12th Feb 2009 - Mr. Niall Crowley.pdf') - please feel free to forward to your colleagues and friends. Please RSVP your attendance by Tuesday 9th February 2009.If you require ISL interpretation on the night please contact the society by Monday 8th February 2009. Should you have any further queries about the event or about the UCD Equality Society, please do not hesitate to contact my colleague John Hickey, Press and Communications Officer on ucdequalitysociety@gmail.com, 087-9706112.Kindest regards,Genieve Murray,Auditor.-- UCD Equality SocietyStudent's Union BuildingBelfieldUniversity College Dublin Dublin 4For General queries: E: ucdequalitysociety@gmail.comW: http://ucdequalitysociety.wordpress.comFor Press queriesM: 087-9706112
