The social networks of young people in Ireland with experience of long‐term foster care
This paper presents findings from the first study of the social networks of a group of young people in Ireland who have experienced long‐term foster care. The study group was composed of two groups of young people, a group who were currently in care and a group who had left the care system. The central focus was to examine the impact of foster care on the social network experience of the young people. Findings indicated that foster care impacts o…

Replaying the ‘Match’
In this paper, marriage settlement records from a north Galway legal practice are utilised to provide additional insights into the socio-legal aspects of the marriage practices of west of Ireland farmers.

While the empirical base of the…

The second perspective, derived from the literature on political cl…
The Stem Family in Ireland
It has lately become commonplace to suspect that most household and family structures in history were much the same. Under the pugnacious influence of the Cambridge Group for the History of Population and Social Structure, historians have grown wary of drawing attention to apparently abnormal household structures, and perhaps weary of reiterating the predominance in northwestern European societies of the simple or nuclear family household. Irelan…

The notion of the stem family is said to derive from the work of the nineteenth-century French sociologist Frederic Le Play (1806-82). Le Play divided the history of the family into three stages. Ancient societies were supposedly characterized by what he called the 'patriarchal' family, in which all the sons were…
