The Crisis in Ireland in 1648: The Nuncio and the Supreme Council: Conclusions
No full textIn a number of articles I have discussed the events leading to Archbishop Rinuccini's censure of the supporters of the truce with Inchiquin in May 1648, and outlined some of the more important of the many controversies which arose from it. 1 In this article I hope to round off the question by discussing the defence put forward for their courses of action by Rinuccini and the Supreme Council of the confederation respectively. In addition, it will be useful to consider the analysis of the situation made by Rinuccini's chief apologist, one might say indeed his semi-official apologist, as this introduces points which help us to assess more fully the value of Rinuccini's self-defence

Predicting Floods to Protect Property Regimes: Situating Flood Modelling in the River Poddle Catchment, Dublin
No full textWater models are world-making devices that stabilise or remake social structures and power relations.
This has spurred calls for deeper explorations of how models are situated within historical and political contexts.
The paper examines the flood model used for flood management planning in the River Poddle catchment in Dublin,
Ireland. Starting from the death of Celia de Jesus during a 2011 flood in this catchment, we argue that Dublin’s
neoliberal property regime is an essential context for situating this model. Using a method grounded in discourse
analysis and interdisciplinary dialogue, our situating approach follows the modelling process across two levels: the
policy context and the model outputs and outcomes. Irish flood management policy sets strong boundaries for
modelling, while embedding property assumptions in the model’s aims, scenarios and maps. Model outputs are
shown to effectively serve the interests of real estate actors while negatively impacting those marginalised in
property relations. Our critical situating has important implications for those hoping to use or critique models in
order to challenge injustice
