Research activity continued through 2008, with Faculty 

students and staff winning awards ranging from 

Post-Graduate Scholarships through Post-Doctoral or 

Senior Research Fellowships to Fulbright Scholarships. 

In the pages that follow one can see clear evidence of 

activities undertaken by members of the Faculty of 

Arts, Celtic Studies and Philosophy, grouped under a 

number of headings: Publications, Public Presentations, 

External Assignments, Funded Research and Grants, 

Visiting and Guest Lecturers, and Conferences 

Hosted. The range and quality of the contributions to 

knowledge and scholarship, and of external academic 

appointments, indicate a Faculty that is vibrant in 

ambition and various in scope. The many articles, reviews, 

monographs and edited books produced attest to a 

continuing engagement with scholarship, society, and 

values. Individual Faculty members were honoured in 

various ways, such as by election to the MRIA, receiving 

Fulbright or other Fellowships, being inducted as a 

Chevalier in the Ordre des Palmes Academiques of 

France, or winning the Charles C. Eldredge Prize for 

American Art History sponsored by the Smithsonian. 

Another Faculty colleague has been chosen to serve 

as Ireland’s member on the Standing Committee for 

the Humanities of the European Science Foundation. 

A signal event for the Faculty was the launch of 

An Foras Feasa: the Institute for Research in Irish 

Historical and Cultural Traditions, by the Minister 

for Education and Science. An Foras Feasa contains 

twenty research posts, and represents a unique 

combination of knowledge and innovation to 

incorporate information and communication technology 

into the study of the humanities. Drawing on the 

existing range of expertise available from its eighty 

members, including the various languages needed to 

understand Ireland’s past (Irish, English, Latin, French, 

Spanish, German) its disciplines support the diverse 

scholarship that the study of Irish culture and history 

requires and offers training to others in this regard.

an taire oideachais agus eolaíochta an foras feasa: 

an institiúid um Thaighde ar Thraidisiúin chultúrtha 

agus Staire na hÉireann. Tá fiche post taighde san 

fhoras feasa agus is comhcheangal uathúil é d’eolas 

agus nuálaíocht chun teicneolaíocht faisnéise agus 

cumarsáide a chomhtháthú i staidéar na ndaonnachtaí. 

Tá réimse leathan saineolais ar fáil cheana féin i measc 

an ochtó ball dá chuid, lena n-áirítear na teangacha 

éagsúla atá riachtanach chun tuiscint a fháil ar stair 

na hÉireann (an ghaeilge, an béarla, an laidin, an 

fhraincis, an Spáinnis agus an ghearmáinis) agus 

cuireann a ndisciplíní éagsúla tacaíocht ar fáil don 

réimse leathan léinn atá riachtanach chun staidéar a 

dhéanamh ar chultúr agus ar stair na hÉireann agus 

cuirtear oiliúint ar fáil do dhaoine eile sa réimse seo. 

Maynooth President’s Report – Academic Review –

An Foras Feasa has strong inter-institutional links with 

Dublin City University, Dundalk Institute of Technology, 

and St Patrick’s College, Drumcondra, and is part of the 

“Humanities Serving Irish Society” initiative towards 

building a National Platform for the Humanities, an 

all-island inter-institutional research and training 

infrastructure embracing the universities, the Royal Irish 

Academy, two Institutes of Technology and the National 

College of Art and Design. Current research projects 

in An Foras Feasa include Early Modern Migration 

to Europe, Hyperspectral Analysis of Early Irish 

Manuscripts, and Digital Humanities and ICT Innovation. 

Seven new permanent appointments were made to the 

Faculty during 2008. Arts courses at undergraduate 

and postgraduate level continued to account for some 

two-thirds of the total student body in NUI Maynooth. 

Teaching at undergraduate and postgraduate level is 

fundamental to the Faculty, and first- year admissions on 

to its BA and related courses in 2008 were instrumental 

in driving up the demand for places at NUI Maynooth 

by 21%. New denominated degree courses in English 

and History had their first intake of students, as did the 

BCL degree in Law and Arts. A range of Generic Skills 

modules for research students was initiated. The Faculty 

maintained its distinguished record of enabling mature 

students to make a return to learning. Taking a sectoral 

lead in this area, the intake into the BA programme 

alone enables NUI Maynooth to meet national targets. 

This bears fruit in the strong contribution made by 

mature students to life on campus, and in their academic 

performance at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. 

The Faculty continued to welcome large numbers 

of international students, from Europe, the US, and 

further afield. In November a collaboration with the 

University of Alcala in Spain was launched, facilitating 

academic exchange and cooperation under the 

banner of the Irish College at Alcala de Henares. 

Intellectual and cultural energies were evident in a 

number of ancillary activities originating in the Faculty 

throughout the year. Major conferences were hosted by 

many departments in the Faculty. Several departments 

ran weekly or regular research seminars, with invited 

speakers from other institutions in Ireland and overseas. 

These activities, together with the wide range of 

events and lectures listed elsewhere in this Report, 

bear witness to a thriving academic and cultural life. 

These all make a vital contribution to the teaching and 

research of a liberal arts and science university, and to 

its connection with the hinterland and society at large.

fad in oÉ má nuad. is cuid bhunúsach den dámh é an 

teagasc ar leibhéal fochéime agus iarchéime agus bhí 

ról lárnach ag na mic léinn a chláraigh ina cúrsa ba agus i 

gcúrsaí gaolmhara in 2008 leis an ardú 21% a tháinig ar 

an éileamh ar áiteanna in oÉ má nuad. cláraíodh an chéad 

ghrúpa mac léinn do na cúrsaí céime ainmnithe nua sa 

bhéarla agus sa Stair chomh maith le céim bcl sa dlí agus

is leor líon na mac léinn a thosaíonn an clár ba le go 

mbainfeadh oÉ má nuad spriocanna náisiúnta amach.

d’eagraigh na ranna éagsúla sa dámh i gcaitheamh 

na bliana. is iomaí roinn sa dámh a d’eagraigh mórchomhdháil.

seimineáir thaighde go seachtainiúil nó go rialta agus 

tugadh cuireadh do chainteoirí éagsúla ó institiúidí in 

Éirinn agus thar lear labhairt acu. léiríonn na himeachtaí 

seo, chomh maith leis an réimse leathan léachtaí agus 

imeachtaí liostaithe in áiteanna eile sa Tuarascáil seo, 

an saol acadúil agus cultúrtha beo fuinniúil atá san 

ollscoil. cuireann siad seo ar fad go mór le teagasc 

agus le taighde in ollscoil na n-eolaíochtaí agus na ndán 

liobrálach, agus leis an nasc atá ag an ollscoil leis an 

gceantar máguaird agus leis an tsochaí i gcoitinne.

In challenging times, the performance of all organisations 

demands close scrutiny. The Faculty of Science and 

Engineering at NUI Maynooth can report excellent, 

measurable, achievement in the three core areas of 

teaching and learning, research and outreach in the 

past year. In terms of undergraduate education, the 

Faculty continued to do exceptionally well in terms of 

recruitment with undergraduate intake rising compared 

to the 2007 entry (which was itself a record year). This 

was achieved with a concurrent rise in the average 

CAO points obtained by entrants accepted into our 

most popular Science and Engineering courses. Given 

the national and international decline in recruitment 

to Science and Engineering courses, this represents 

an impressive achievement indeed. It was no surprise 

to the Faculty when the Sunday Times awarded NUI 

Maynooth the accolade of Irish University of the Year. 

In the research arena, Ireland is looking to its Scientists 

and Engineers to help drive the creation of knowledge 

that underpins the so called SMART economy. It is 

particularly impressive that the commercialisation office 

has assisted the Faculty in almost doubling the annual 

numbers of patents filed from NUI Maynooth during 

2008. Translating cutting edge research into intellectual 

property of value for national economy will be essential 

during the current international recession. Finally, the 

strong outreach activities from the Faculty continue to 

serve all the communities of Ireland, especially those 

that lack a tradition of engagement with Universities 

or third level education. The NUI Certificates in Science 

and Engineering coordinated by the Maynooth Access 

office have helped a diverse group of new, talented, 

students to discover the opportunities afforded by 

a foundation in the Sciences. These activities also 

sustain the long tradition of service to the peoples 

of Ireland that Maynooth has embodied since 1795. 

The introduction of a new BSc (Hons) Science Education 

continued the innovative developments in undergraduate 

provision that are a hallmark of NUIM. This concurrent 

programme combines both teacher training and scientific 

formation so that emerging scientists are fully qualified 

to teach two Science subjects to Leaving Certificate 

level. It is hoped that this approach will go some way to 

enhancing the capacity of Ireland to bring more students 

into Science and Engineering at second level. Innovation 

has also occurred in how Faculty supports learners during 

their time on campus. The Mathematics Support Centre 

(the drop in centre) has proved a well-used resource, 

helping over one hundred students a week build their 

quantitative skills and mathematical competence. 

New developments have been made to ensure that 

our research strength informs our teaching. During the 

summer of 2008, the SFI funded PURE and SoMER sites 

offered a total of 24 research projects in Evolutionary 

and Chemical Biology, attracting undergraduate 

students from Ireland and overseas. Combined, 

these programmes represent the most extensive 

single investment in extra-curricular undergraduate 

research at the University, and is recognition of the 

ongoing commitment of NUIM research staff to 

enhancing student education. Such programmes and 

other similar initiatives across the Faculty, provide an 

interdisciplinary research environment to enhance 

students’ knowledge and understanding of important 

concepts in their disciplines and develop the students’ 

analytical, practical and communication skills. 

ní mór feidhmíocht gach eagraíochta a iniúchadh go 

géar nuair atá an oiread sin dúshlán le sárú againn. is 

féidir le dámh na heolaíochta agus na hinnealtóireachta 

in oÉ má nuad a thabhairt le fios go ndearnadh dul chun 

cinn intomhaiste den scoth le bliain anuas sna trí réimse 

lárnacha .i. múinteoireacht agus foghlaim, taighde agus 

for-rochtain. maidir le cúrsaí oideachais fochéimithe, 

lean an dámh uirthi ag déanamh go fíormhaith ó thaobh 

earcaíochta de. Tháinig méadú ar líon na mac léinn 

fochéime a tugadh isteach i mbliana le hais 2007 agus 

buaicbhliain ab ea an bhliain sin. d’éirigh linn é sin a bhaint 

amach le hardú comhreathach sna meánphointí cao 

a fuair iontrálaithe ar chúrsaí móréilimh san eolaíocht 

agus san innealtóireacht. is toradh iontach é seo, go 

deimhin, go mór mór nuair a chuirtear san áireamh go 

raibh laghdú in Éirinn agus ar fud an domhain ar líon 

na ndaoine a chuir isteach ar chúrsaí eolaíochta agus 

innealtóireachta. ní raibh ionadh ar bith ar an dámh 

nuair a bhronn the Sunday Times gradam ollscoil na 

bliana ar oÉ má nuad. Ó thaobh taighde de, tá Éire ag 

brath ar a cuid eolaithe agus innealtóirí chun an t-eolas a 

chruthú ar a dtógfar an eacnamaíocht chliSTe, faoi mar 

a thugtar uirthi. cúis iontais ab ea an chaoi ar chuidigh 

an oifig Tráchtálaíochta leis an dámh chun an oiread 

paitinní a chomhdaigh oÉ má nuad a dhúbailt beagnach 

i gcaitheamh 2008. Tá sé ríthábhachtach go ndéanfaí 

taighde úrscothach a thiontú go maoin intleachtúil a 

rachaidh chun tairbhe eacnamaíocht na tíre ag an tráth 

seo den lagtrá idirnáisiúnta. mar fhocal scoir, leanann 

an dámh uirthi ag freastal ar gach pobal in Éirinn de 

thoradh a gníomhaíochtaí tréana for-rochtana, go mór 

mór leis na pobail sin nach bhfuil aon traidisiún acu baint 

a bheith acu leis na hollscoileanna ná leis an oideachas 

tríú leibhéal. rinne oifig rochtana má nuad comhordú 

ar Theastais in eolaíocht agus in innealtóireacht de chuid 

oÉ agus chuidigh siad sin le grúpa éagsúil mac léinn 

nua a bhfuil tallann acu fáil amach faoi na deiseanna a 

chuireann buneolas eolaíochta ar fáil dóibh. cuireann na 

gníomhaíochtaí seo leis an traidisiún fada atá ag má nuad 

ó 1795 i leith maidir le freastal ar phobail na hÉireann. 

forbairt nuálaíoch a bhí ann nuair a tugadh isteach 

céim nua bSc (onóracha) in oideachas eolaíochta, agus 

is féidir a rá go fíor go bhfuil a leithéid d’fhorbairtí ina 

saintréith de chuid oÉ má nuad. nascann an clár reatha 

oiliúint múinteoireachta agus eolaíochta sa chaoi go 

mbíonn na heolaithe a bhfuil an cúrsa críochnaithe acu 

láncháilithe chun dhá ábhar eolaíochta a mhúineadh 

go leibhéal na hardteistiméireachta. Táthar ag súil go 

gcabhróidh an cur chuige seo le cumas na hÉireann 

eolaíocht agus innealtóireachta a mhúineadh do níos mó 

mac léinn dara leibhéal. Tá nuálaíocht le feiceáil freisin 

sa chaoi ina dtugann an dámh tacaíocht d’fhoghlaimeoirí 

i rith an ama a chaitheann siad ar an ollscoil. baineadh 

an-úsáid as an ionad Tacaíochta matamaitice (an tionad 

buail isteach) agus chuidigh sé le tuairim is céad 

scoláire in aghaidh na seachtaine a gcuid scileanna 

cainníochtúla agus a gcumas matamaiticiúil a fhorbairt. 


The Faculty continued its mission to promote Science 

and Engineering to the wider community throughout 

2008. There were high profile media appearances 

for Professors John Lowry (sensors) and Phil Dix 

(transgenic crops) in The Investigators series broadcast 

on RTE. Chemistry PhD student Ciarán O’ Carroll also 

performed strongly in Science Speak, the postgraduate 

Science communication competition. He won the 

regional heat and finished second nationally. Ciarán 

is one of the first students to have taken the new 

generic skills courses for PhD students at Maynooth 

and demonstrates the effectiveness of such courses. 

Many other students and staff gave their weekend and 

evening time to various events throughout the year, 

including Science week which began with a “Robots 

live” show for young children from Dr Charles Markham 

and culminated in a hands-on open evening for the local 

community, attended by over a thousand people. 

The Maynooth Leaving Certificate Science Practicals, 

sponsored by Yakult, and Intel continued to provide a 

valuable resource for nearly 3,000 Leaving Certificate 

students from across Ireland. It is the largest outreach 

activity of its kind in the country. The programme was 

visited by Minister Jimmy Devins from the Department 

of Enterprise, Trade and Employment who witnessed 

how school students were prepared for their examined 

science practicals through access to laboratories and 

equipment in NUIM departments of Physics, Chemistry 

and Biology. This activity is of huge importance to 

both the students and teachers and is a good example 

of how the Faculty services the need of the wider 

educational community. The technical staffs from those 

departments deserve special thanks for the time and 

commitment devoted to this valuable programme. 

The Faculty is very proud of the expectation that our 

leading research Scientists, Mathematicians and 

Engineers deliver the benefit of their scholarship through 

teaching at undergraduate and postgraduate (4th) levels. 

2008 saw the start of the graduate research training 

program PharMetrX “Pharmacokinetics & Computational 

Disease Modelling” with participation from the Hamilton 

Institute. The PharMetrX program bridges mathematics 

and pharmacy with financial support from six major 

pharmaceutical companies (Abbott, Boehringer 

Ingelheim, Bayer Schering Pharma, Bayer Technology 

Services, Merck, Sanofi-Aventis). International experts 

from Maynooth’s Hamilton Institute also made major 

contributions to the Network Mathematics Graduate 

Program (under PRTLI 4). Likewise, the Institute of 

Immunology at NUI Maynooth continued to lead the 

HRB PhD training site in Immunology, involving close 

collaboration with Trinity College Dublin and Queen’s 

University Belfast, an example of how Universities across 

the island can cooperate to deliver high quality PhD 

education. In yet another innovation, the Department 

of Psychology saw its first intake of students on the 

MSc/ Doctorate in Psychological Science (Behaviour 

Analysis and Therapy) in September 2008- the first 

doctoral level training in Applied Behaviour Analysis 

in either Ireland or the UK. Thus developments at NUI 

Maynooth are at the forefront of delivering the 4th level 

educational needs foreseen in government strategies. 

cuireadh forbairtí nua i bhfeidhm le cinntiú go mbeidh 

an cumas atá againn ó thaobh taighde de mar bhunsraith 

dár múinteoireacht. Thairg láithreáin pure agus Somer 

a ndéanann fondúireacht eolaíochta Éireann maoiniú 

orthu 24 tionscadal taighde san iomlán i mbitheolaíocht 

cheimiceach agus Éabhlóideach i gcaitheamh an 

tsamhraidh in 2008 agus chuir fochéimithe ó Éirinn agus 

thar lear isteach orthu. má áirítear na cláir seo le chéile 

is iad sin an t-infheistiú amháin is forleithne i dtaighde 

seach-churaclaim fochéimithe san ollscoil, agus léiríonn 

sé tiomantas leanúnach fhoireann taighde oÉ má nuad 

maidir le feabhas a chur ar oideachas na mac léinn. 

cuireann cláir den sórt sin agus tionscnaimh cosúil leo sa 

dámh an timpeallacht idirdhisciplíneach taighde ar fáil le 

feabhas a chur ar eolas na mac léinn agus ar an tuiscint atá 

acu ar choincheapa tábhachtacha a ndisciplíní agus chun 

a scileanna anailíse, praiticiúla agus caidrimh a fhorbairt. 

lean an dámh uirthi i gcaitheamh 2008 leis an misean 

atá aici eolaíocht agus innealtóireacht a chur chun 

cinn sa phobal níos leithne. bhí aird an phobail ar na 

hollúna John lowry (braiteoirí) agus ar phil dix (barra 

trasghéineacha) nuair a ghlac siad páirt sa tsraith The 

investigators a craoladh ar rTÉ. d’éirigh thar cionn le 

ciarán o’carroll, mac léinn a bhfuil phd sa cheimic ar siúl 

aige, i gcomórtas cumarsáide eolaíochta na niarchéimithe 

Science Speak. bhuaigh sé an réamhbhabhta réigiúnach 

agus bhain sé amach an dara háit i gcraobh náisiúnta 

an chomórtais. Tá sé ar cheann de na chéad mhac léinn 

a ghlac páirt sna cúrsaí nua um scileanna cineálacha le 

haghaidh mic léinn phd ag oÉ má nuad agus léiríonn 

sé éifeacht a leithéid de chúrsaí. chaith a lán mac léinn 

agus ball foirne a gcuid ama ag an deireadh seachtaine 

agus sa tráthnóna ar imeachtaí éagsúla i gcaitheamh 

na bliana, lena n-áirítear seachtain na heolaíochta, ar 

chuir an dr charles markham tús léi lena chlár “robots 

live” i gcomhair daoine óga agus a chríochnaigh le 

tráthnóna oscailte ina raibh deis ag an bpobal áitiúil taithí 

phraiticiúil a fháil. d’fhreastail breis agus míle duine air. 

is acmhainn luachmhar iad ranganna praiticiúla 

eolaíochta ardteistiméireachta mhá nuad atá urraithe 

ag yakult agus ag intel agus d’fhreastail breis agus 

3,000 dalta ardteistiméireachta ó gach cuid den 

tír orthu. Tá na ranganna seo ar an ngníomhaíocht 

fhor-rochtana den chineál seo is mó sa tír. Thug an 

taire Jimmy devins ón roinn fiontar, Trádála agus 

fostaíochta cuairt ar an gclár agus chonaic sé an 

chaoi a raibh mic léinn scoile á n-ullmhú dá scrúduithe 

praiticiúla eolaíochta trí úsáid a bhaint as saotharlanna 

agus trealamh oÉ má nuad sna ranna fisice, ceimice 

agus bitheolaíochta. Tá an ghníomhaíocht seo antábhachtach 

do scoláirí agus do mhúinteoirí agus is 

sampla maith é den chaoi a ndéanann an dámh seo 

freastal ar riachtanais an phobail oideachasúil níos 

leithne. ba cheart buíochas faoi leith a ghabháil leis an 

bhfoireann theicniúil ó na ranna sin as ucht a gcuid ama 

agus dílseachta a thug siad don chlár luachmhar seo. 

One of the research highlights of 2008 was the 

establishment of the Eli Lilly Centre for Cognitive 

Neuroscience, a consortium of academic and industrial 

scientists seeking to develop treatments for conditions 

involving cognitive dysfunction. The Chemistry 

department of NUIM joined King’s College, London, 

and the Universities of Oxford, Cambridge, Bristol, and 

Cardiff in an elite industry-led research consortium. 

Another highlight of the year saw Maynooth’s National 

Centre for Geocomputation (NCG) secure an SFI 

Strategic Research Cluster grant. At over €7 million, this 

is the largest SRC grant awarded to date. The consortium 

is led by NCG and includes the departments of Computer 

Science and Electronic Engineering at NUIM and seeks 

to broaden the application of geographical information 

systems. Finally, the year saw a number of high profile 

conferences and seminars hosted by Faculty including 

the 2nd International Workshop on Systems Biology 

(Hamilton Institute), and the 31st annual meeting of 

the British Yeast group (Biology Dept.) both of which 

attracted a high profile list of keynote and plenary 

speakers, contributing to the academic and scholarly life 

of the Faculty. 

Dr Bernard Mahon 

Dean, Science and Engineering 

Tá an dámh an-bhródúil as an ionchas go roinnfidh ár 

neolaithe, ár matamaiticeoirí agus ár ninnealtóiríis 

fearr tairbhe a gcuid léinn le daoine eile trí mhúineadh 

ar leibhéil na bhfochéimithe agus na n-iarchéimithe 

(an ceathrú leibhéal). cuireadh tús leis an gclár 

oiliúna taighde do chéimithe pharmetrx cinéitic 

chógaisíochta agus Samhaltú ríomhaireachtúil galar 

(pharmacokinetics & computational disease modelling) 

agus institiúid hamilton ag glacadh páirte san obair. 

cuireann sé chomhlacht mhóra chógaisíochta (abbott, 

boehringer ingelheim, bayer Schering pharma, bayer 

Technology Services, merck, agus Sanofi-aventis) 

tacaíocht airgeadais ar fáil don chlár pharmetrx a 

nascann matamaitic agus cógaisíocht le chéile. lena 

chois sin thacaigh saineolaithe idirnáisiúnta ó institiúid 

hamilton mhá nuad go mór le clár líonra matamaitice 

na gcéimithe (mar chuid den chlár um Thaighde in 

institiúidí Tríú leibhéal 4). Sa chaoi chéanna, lean 

institiúid imdhíoneolaíochta ag oÉ má nuad uirthi ag 

treorú ionad oiliúna hrb phd san imdhíoneolaíocht, 

agus d’oibrigh siad chuige sin i ndlúth-chomhpháirtíocht 

le coláiste na Tríonóide bhaile Átha cliath agus le 

hollscoil na banríona bhéal feirste. is sampla é seo 

den bhealach ar féidir le hollscoileanna ar fud an 

oileáin comhoibriú le chéile chun oideachas phd ar 

ardchaighdeán a sholáthar. nuálaíocht eile a bhí ann nuair 

a ghlac an roinn Síceolaíochta lena céad ghrúpa mac 

léinn chun staidéar mSc/phd a dhéanamh ar eolaíocht 

Síceolaíochta (anailís iompraíochta agus Teiripe) i 

meán fómhair 2008. is é seo an chéad uair a bhfuil 

oiliúint ar leibhéal dochtúireachta á cur ar fáil in Éirinn 

nó sa ríocht aontaithe maidir le hanailís iompraíochta 

fheidhmeach. is léir mar sin go bhfuil oÉ má nuad 

amuigh chun tosaigh de bharr na bhforbairtí sin maidir le 

freastal ar riachtanais oideachasúla an cheathrú leibhéal 

faoi mar atá leagtha amach i straitéisí an rialtais. 

i measc bhuaicphointí taighde na bliana 2008, bhí bunú 

ionad eli lilly um eolaíocht néarchórais chognaíoch. is 

cuibhreannas é seo d’eolaithe acadúla agus tionsclaíocha 

a bhfuil sé d’aidhm acu cóireáil a fhorbairt le haghaidh 

daoine a bhfuil mífheidhmiú cognaíoch ag cur as dóibh. 

d’oibrigh roinn na ceimice in oÉ má nuad i gcomhar le 

King’s college, londain, agus le hollscoileanna oxford, 

cambridge, briostó, agus cardiff i gcuibhreannas taighde 

den scoth a bhí treoraithe ag lucht tionscal. buaicphointe 

eile na bliana a bhí ann nuair a bhronn fondúireacht 

eolaíochta Éireann deontas braisle Taighde Straitéiseach 

ar lárionad náisiúnta um gheoiríomhaireacht (ncg) mhá 

nuad. is fiú breis agus €7 milliún é seo agus is é sin an 

deontas braisle Taighde Straitéiseach is mó a bronnadh 

go dtí seo. Tá an cuibhreannas á threorú ag ncg agus 

tá roinn na heolaíochta ríomhaireachta agus roinn na 

hinnealtóireachta leictreonaice in oÉ má nuad ina gcuid 

de. Tá sé mar aidhm ag an gcuibhreannas feidhm na gcóras 

faisnéise tíreolaíochta a leathnú. mar fhocal scoir, rinne 

an dámh óstáil ar roinnt comhdhálacha agus seimineáir 

ardphróifíl i gcaitheamh na bliana lena n-áirítear an 

dara ceardlann idirnáisiúnta ar bhitheolaíocht chóras 

(institiúid hamilton), agus an 31ú cruinniú bliantúil den 

ghrúpa british yeast (roinn na bitheolaíochta). bhí liosta 

cainteoirí iomráiteacha i láthair a thug príomhaitheasc nó 

a labhair ag na seisiún iomlánacha agus iad ag cur le saol 

acadúil agus léinn na dáimhe.

The Faculty of Social Sciences includes 

the following departments: 

Adult and Community Education 

Anthropology 

Applied Social Studies 

Business & Law 

Economics, Finance and Accounting 

Education 

Geography 

Sociology 

and research institutes: 

National Institute for Regional 

and Spatial Analysis (NIRSA) 

Irish Climate Analysis and Research Units (ICARUS) 

Innovation Value Institute (IVI) 

The Faculty of Social Sciences continued to innovate in 

the current year with a range of new programmes at both 

postgraduate and undergraduate level. This year also 

saw the introduction of new disciplines to the faculty 

with undergraduate law degrees in Law & Business and 

Law & Arts taking in their first students. In the postexperience 

area, this year also saw the introduction of 

the Certificate in Strategic Leadership for senior officers 

in the Defence Forces and both Diploma and Masters 

level studies in Mediation and Conflict Intervention. 

Inter-faculty innovation was also a feature this year with 

the introduction of the BSc in Science Education which 

directly addresses national policy objectives in this area. 

This Report draws attention to the central role of 

the Faculty of Social Sciences, not only within NUI 

Maynooth but further afield also. Social Sciences 

courses at undergraduate and postgraduate level 

account for 2737.71 FTE’s of a total population of 6785. 

The faculty continues to play a role in supporting the 

government’s programme for Building Ireland’s Smart 

Economy, not least through its extensive work within the 

Dublin Region Higher Education Alliance which Professor 

Jim Walsh, Deputy President of NUIM will chair in the 

coming year. The faculty also continues to addresses 

much wider important societal issues and the faculty’s 

work in climate change was recognised this year through 

the award of university Research Institute status to the 

Irish Climate and Analysis Research Unit (ICARUS). 

The faculty continues to be a space for enthusiastic 

engagement and I would like to thank all members 

of the Faculty who contributed so much during 

the year. In particular, I wish to thank Dr Brid 

Connolly, Faculty Secretary and Ms Breeda Behan, 

Administrative Officer in the Deans’ Office.
