There are also new traits added to increase genetic gain.   The impact these changes are likely to have on breeding choices over the coming years is also highlighted by Margaret.  Paul focuses on changes to the replacement index particularly on the traits added and how these have impacted on the emphasis within the indexes.  Paul will also discuss these changes in further detail at the National Beef Conference which will take place on Tuesday, 21st November in the Shearwater Hotel, Ballinasloe, Co.

We remember the distinguished historian, educator and human rights activist who died recently at the age of 91. Myles is joined by Sinead McCoole, Margaret Kelleher and Diarmaid Ferriter.

The Maamtrasna murders were sparked by a blood feud in a remote part of 19th century Ireland. A family of five was killed by neighbours - but the trial proved to be just as notorious as the murders. It was held in English and some of the defendants, who were from Connemara, could not speak the language. Professor Margaret Kelleher of University College Dublin and Mr Justice Peter Kelly, president of Ireland's High Court, discuss the case and political context in Dublin's historic Green Street courthouse, scene of the trial. Presented and produced by author and journalist Martina Devlin For more on Margaret Kelleher’s book The Maamtrasna Murders: Language, Life and Death in Nineteenth-Century Ireland follow the link: https://www.ucdpress.ie/display.asp?isbn=9781910820421&

This lecture identifies and examines a number of trends in recent historiographical work on the Great Famine including their striking appropriation of narrative and fictive tropes. It explores the existence – or perceived existence – of an 'affective gap' in existing historiography, which is seen to justify this wave of new publications, a gap reinforced by the failure of most famine scholarship to reflect in depth on its own affective and emotional register. The related absence of gender as a category of analysis within studies which have emphasized national and regional scales of enquiry is highlighted in the lecture's second part, and it concludes by proposing a re-examination of gender as a lens through which, in Marianne Hirsch's words, 'through which to read the domestic and the public scenes of memorial acts'.
