Great piece with UCD's Andrew Porter and his "frankly ridiculous" Club and Country performances this year!
Adaptable Porter makes amazing climb to summit

All but lost amidst the praise for the James Ryans and Dan Leavys this season has been the frankly ridiculous progress made by Leinster’s Andrew Porter since he switched sides in the front row.Well done to UCD Sub Aqua Club who held a screening of 'Ireland's Deep Atlantic' at UCD Cinema and raised much needed funds brilliant charity; RNLI. Ireland Deep Atlantic was shown last night on RTE and if you missed it, definitely go and check it out on the RTE player.Huge thank you to everyone who attended last nights screening of 'Ireland's Deep Atlantic' at UCD Cinema, University College Dublin, and gave their generous donations towards our cause to raise funds for the RNLI.
We were delighted to welcome film maker for Sea Fever Productions and producer of the two part series, Ken O'Sullivan Filmmaker, who gave us some fascinating insights into the making of the show and especially highlighting the importance of protecting our thriving Irish coasts. Ken is an active naturalist, conservationist and advocate for the sea, its life, and the vast ecosystem that depends and thrives on it. His collaboration with Sea Fever Productions, who have been producing award-winning conservation and sport documentaries for over ten years, has resulted in absolutely breath-taking footage of some of Ireland's most rare and unique biodiversity. This is not only the first TV production to feature the deep coral reefs in the North Atlantic, but also en-captures never-seen before displays of some of the worlds most elusive animals, contributing vital information to a range of scientific study.
For those of you who couldn't make it, be sure to catch this amazing production on RTÉ this Sunday at 9:30pm!

Today is the one hundred and fifth anniversary of the Prisoners (Temporary Discharge for Ill-health) Act 1913. The so-called "Cat and Mouse Act" allowed for the temporary and conditional release of prisoners on hunger strike, on health grounds, followed by rearrest after they had recovered, to serve the remaining period of their sentence.
www.irishstatutebook.ie/eli/1913/act/4/enacted/en/print.html
The measure was specifically directed at the use of hunger strikes by imprisoned suffragettes, as a substitute for the force feeding that had previously been employed. The legislation was generally ineffective, as released prisoners often evaded rearrest and its passing further undermined public support for Asquith's government, by making it appear both vindictive and devious. The Act is one of those retained in force by the Statute Law Revision Act 2007 and the Statute Law Revision Act 2009.

Seminar today (1-2pm, 25 April 2018)
Our final weekly research seminar for this semester will take place today, Wednesday 25 April 2018.
Our alumnus John Kelleher BCL '68 will speak on "From 'Stop Sign to Sign Post' - An examination as to how screen censorship has mirrored Ireland's social and cultural evolution".
John Kelleher was Film Censor from 2003 to 2009 (with a change of title to "Director of Film Classification" from July 2008 onward). He had a major role in modernising the office of Official Censor of Films, as reflected in its renaming as the Irish Film Classification Office by the Civil Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2008.
In a change to the usual venue, this seminar will take place in the Moot Court, in the Arthur Cox Clinical Legal Education Centre (on the ground floor). However, a light lunch will be available in the Harty Boardroom (L106) from 12.30pm onward. All are welcome.

Commentaire de Jamil Jivani sur l'attaque au véhicule-bélier à Toronto
We are relieved that that it seems that no-one connected with our partner Osgoode Hall Law School of York University to have been killed or injured in the van attack in Toronto yesterday, although at least one member of faculty and her young daughter were only minutes away from finding themselves in the attacker's path. All those we know in Toronto are in our thoughts at this distressing and troubling time.
On est soulagé que personne qui a un lien avec notre partenaire Osgoode Hall Law School de l'Université York n'ait, à toute apparence, été tué ou blessé dans l'attaque au véhicule-bélier à Toronto hier, bien qu'au moins un membre de faculté et sa jeune fille n'aient évité le chemin de l'attaquant que de quelques minutes. On pense à tous nos amis et relations de Toronto à ce moment pénible et troublant.
This morning Jamil Jivani, who is a member of visiting faculty at Osgoode Hall, spoke to Metro Morning with Matt Galloway about the attack and its implications for the city of Toronto and its ethnically and culturally diverse population.
Ce matin Jamil Jivani, qui est visiteur académique d'Osgoode Hall Law School, a parlé à Metro Morning with Matt Galloway de l'attaque et ce qu'il entraîne quant à la ville et sa population ethniquement et culturellement diverse.
Jamil is a community organizer and social entrepreneur in Toronto. After graduating from Yale Law School, he founded the Policing Literacy Initiative, a grassroots public education and advocacy organization focused on improving police-community relations. He has also worked at Torys LLP and the Tim Hortons’ corporate law department. He currently serves on the Children’s Aid Society of Toronto’s board of directors and the Yale Law School Executive Committee. As a law student, he taught constitutional law at New Haven Public Schools and was President of the Yale Black Law Students’ Association.

UCD student wins national science communication competition FameLab
ucd.ie
UCD Medical student, Sharon Omiwole, has been named the winner of FameLab Ireland – the national science communication competition for students.Someone recently asked a great question - in our degree abbreviation MB BCh BAO, why is the letter 'h' always in lower case?
Thanks for your question.
MB BCh BAO stands for Medicinae Baccalaureus, Baccalaureus Chirurgiae, Baccalaureus in Arte Obstetricia.
We've been conferring medicine degrees for over 165 years. By academic tradition, the degree was originally named in Latin as Medicinae Baccalaureus, Baccalaureus Chirurgiae, Baccalaureus in Arte Obstetricia (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery and Bachelor of Obstetrics).
The first letter of the word is used throughout the abbreviation except for Chirurgiae (Surgery) where two letters (Ch) are used to avoid confusion with other degrees. Since the 'h' is the second letter of the word Chirurgiae, it isn't capitalised.

ALL ARE WELCOME
Abstract:
Pragmatism is often associated with nominalism. However, for his founder, C.S. Peirce, pragmatism implied realism, even a “scholastic realism of a somewhat extreme stripe”. After a brief survey of such a paradoxical alliance between pragmatism and realism, and of some common grounds among various pragmatists, I shall present the major features of such a realist pragmatism, along Peircian lines. In particular, I shall try to show how and why such a basically dispositional type of realism, which involves strong metaphysical and ethical commitments, can provide meaningful insights for a better understanding of what metaphysical knowledge might consist in and a “genuine course between the soggy sands of relativism and the cold rocks of dogmatism”(S. Blackburn)
