Radical research perspectives, network and collective
Critical Labour Studies (CLS) was established in 2004 as a collective to provide a platform for co-operative and radical research and education. Within the academy the network spans the social sciences in the field of work and employment, but this is only one of its characteristic features. It also includes a range of activists well beyond the academy in both traditional and alternative social and labour movements. The meetings also bring togethe…
Ireland, intellectual property and the political economy of information monopolies
Ireland's policies towards US-owned global digital intermediaries (Big Tech) have emerged as an international political issue and received global media attention. So far, political and media focus has been on the impact of Ireland's tax policies on the revenue-raising ability of other European states and perceptions of light touch regulation of those corporations based in the Republic. The current paper will focus on how Ireland's switch to a foc…

Digital television policy in Ireland
On 24 October 2012 the Republic of Ireland switched off its analogue spectrum marking a crucial juncture in its transition to a fully digital television system. After fourteen years of policy-making, the Irish state had met both its digital switchover and analogue switch off deadlines. This article will trace the long trajectory of Ireland’s transition to digital television and evaluate the state’s policy performance in the much-changed context o…
Digital television policy and regulatory neutrality in small western states
This article evaluates the particular difficulties presented by market-led platforms and the regulatory-neutral policy approach to the switch to digital television in small western media states. The key argument is that market realities have presented difficulties for the concept of regulatory neutrality and a competitive platform approach in the digital switchover. In larger states this policy approach has led to the emergence of differentiated …
Watching the Directive
This paper investigates the way in which the European Union's Television Without Frontiers directive (recently re-named the Audio-Visual Media Services directive, AVMS) was implemented by two neighbouring states, the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland. Focusing on the broadcasting rights for live international cricket matches in England and the rights for the live coverage of the Republic of Ireland soccer team's competitive home matches,…
Institutional Change And Irish Public Broadcasting
Public service broadcasters are centrally concerned with the making and remaking of the public, negotiating the bounds of publicness and generating place-specific publicity. In recent times the rel
A Prehistoric Field System and Related Monuments on St David's Head and Cam Llidi, Pembrokeshire
This short paper describes the remains of prehistoric settlements, chambered tombs, a promontory fort, a prehistoric defensive wall, a rectilinear field system, and other field systems on marginal land at St David's Head. Antiquarians and archaeologists have known of these remains for over two centuries, but it is only through modern surveying techniques and aerial photography that their true nature can be appreciated. The defensive wall and asso…
Capitalism with a Comrade's Face
Capitalism with a Comrade's Face
Are nations that are journeying away from communism succeeding in becoming free-market democracies? In what ways do decades of totalitarian rule continue to distort the institutional shape of these societies? Which of communism's legacies may remain as permanent features of their landscape? In an effort to answer these questions, Roman Frydman, Kenneth Murphy, and Andrzej Rapaczynski analyze the turbulent transitions that have taken place in the …
The dismantling of Kiln II, Nantgarw china, pottery and pipe works, Mid Glamorgan, 1995

The consent was granted and permission given to reconstruct the kiln to its full original height. This short paper includes a brief history of the site, a description of the dismantling of the kiln…
Excavations in Three Burgage Plots in the Medieval Town of Newport, Dyfed, 1991
THREE BURGAGE PLOTS within a deserted area of the medieval new town of Newport were excavated. Buildings were established on the burgage plots following the town's foundation in the late 12th century, but these were short-lived and the plots were soon given over to agriculture. Evidence for buildings was slight. It is argued that the excavated dwellings were earth-built and thatched and possibly conformed to a standard plan. Boundaries between in…
Plas Gogerddan, Dyfed
At Plas Gogerddan, evidence was discovered for human presence from the middle of the fourth millennium B.C. up to the present day. Numerous pits and post-holes were excavated around a standing stone; one of these pits was dated to the tenth-fifteenth centuries B. c. To the west of the standing stone, three ring-ditches were constructed and used in the first millennium B.C.; in association with these ring-ditches were three iron age crouched buria…
