Rural restructuring and rural in-migration patterns in Ireland
(Mary Immaculate College, University of Limerick, 2013)In recent decades, the rural economic base in Ireland, similar to that of other developed countries across the globe, has witnessed a period of significant structural change, with academic literature coining the term rural ... -
A spatial analysis of the suppliers of nature based tourism in Ireland, insights into the provision of walking tourism on the Sheep’s Head Peninsula, Co. Cork.
(2014)The tourism industry from 2012 to 2022 is expected to grow by an average of 4% annually to constitute 10% of global GDP (US$10 trillion). It is also predicted by 2022, globally, one in every ten jobs (328 million) will ... -
The television anti-hero
(Mary Immaculate College, University of Limerick, 2013)This thesis tests the hypothesis that there has been a sustained depiction of the anti-hero on US cable television since the late 1990s. It also addresses a number of closely related research sub-questions. In summary, why ... -
The provision of disability services in Limerick 1930-1990
(2013-12-18)This thesis explores the evolution of services for the disabled in Limerick from the 1930s to end of the twentieth century. It examines the development of services, the prominent role of religion and the church in this ... -

Traveller Health: A Research Project to develop an Action plan for the Mid-Western Health Board
(NIHS, 2003-06)Research has shown that Travellers do not share similar health status to the settled population. The 1996 Population Census showed that only 1.3% of Travellers were over 65 years compared to 11.4% of the general population ... -

Homological algebra with locally compact abelian groups (Pre-published Version)
(Elsevier, 2007)In this article we study locally compact abelian (LCA) groups from the viewpoint of derived categories, using that their category is quasi-abelian in the sense of J.-P. Schneiders. We define a well-behaved derived Hom-complex ... -
Some moduli stacks of symplectic bundles on a curve are rational (Pre-published version)
(Elsevier, 2008)Let C be a smooth projective curve of genus g ≥ 2 over a field k. Given a line bundle L on C, let Sympl2n,L be the moduli stack of vector bundles E of rank 2n on C endowed with a nowhere degenerate symplectic form b : E ⊗ ... -
Einstein-Hermitian connection on twisted Higgs bundles (Pre-published Version)
(Elsevier Masson, 2010)Let X be a smooth projective variety over C. We prove that a twisted Higgs vector bundle (E , θ) on X admits an Einstein–Hermitian connection if and only if (E , θ) is polystable. A similar result for twisted vector bundles ... -
Torelli theorem for the Deligne-Hitchin moduli space (Pre-published version)
(Springer Verlag, 2009)Fix integers g ≥ 3 and r ≥ 2, with r ≥ 3 if g = 3. Given a compact connected Riemann surface X of genus g, let M DH (X) denote the corresponding SL(r,C) Deligne–Hitchin moduli space. We prove that the complex analytic ... -
