Synopsis

Taken from Ceifin's ninth annual conference of the same title, this book explores the new freedoms available in Ireland, and whether that freedom constitutes true liberty or is engendering a licence that is ultimately threatening to the fabric of its 'new' society?

Présentation de l'éditeur

There is little dispute that Ireland in the twenty-first century is a society in transformation. With an economy registering unparalleled growth, a rising population buoyed by an enriching immigrant community and an overall confidence in our future, we have much to celebrate. There is, however, a downside to that transformation. We may, by some criteria, be deemed to be the second wealthiest nation in the world, but for all our success there are many who feel disconnected and marginalised in our society. We may be free from the shackles - economic or social - of our past, but does that freedom constitute true liberty or is it engendering a licence that is ultimately threatening to the fabric of our new society? These questions provide the theme of Ceifin s ninth annual conference: Freedom: Licence or Liberty?. Once again, Ceifin has assembled a panel of distinguished speakers whose experience will explore and distil that theme in challenging and provocative ways. Following the success of the Telling my Story segment in last year s conference Ceifin has also invited four people from other cultures to share their experience of Ireland as a multicultural society. A novel aspect of this year s programme is the presentation of the proceedings from the innovative first Ceifin National Students Conference, held in Galway in October 2006.
