'A terrible danger to the morals of the country': The Irish hospitals' sweepstake in Great Britain, 1930-87

This paper examines the importance of British contributions to the success of the Irish hospitals sweepstake. In its early years, up to three-quarters of these tickets were sold in Britain, bringing millions of pounds into Ireland annually to improve and expand the state's hospitals. The vast amount of money leaving Britain in this way angered the British government and forced it to introduce new legislation to curtail the activities of the Irish sweep. The paper will highlight the extent to which the success of the sweepstake depended on the market for tickets in Britain; the threat to the sweep's survival posed by the restriction of its activities in Britain after 1935; the role of the sweepstake controversy in exacerbating further already strained relations between Britain and the Irish Free State in the 1930s; how the success of the sweep raised the issue of legalising a British lottery; and the eventual decline of the sweepstake as a force in British gambling in the post-war years.

Openness and privacy in Ontario: an evaluation of the implementation of FIPPA : (The Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, 1987, Chapter 25 and Ontario Regulation 532/87) /

Since the early 1970's, Canadians have expressed many concerns about the growth of government and its impact on their daily lives. The public has requested increased access to government documents and improved protection of the personal information which is held in government files and data banks. At the same time, both academics and practitioners in the field of public administration have become more interested in the values that public servants bring to their decisions and recommendations. Certain administrative values, such as accountability and integrity, have taken on greater relative importance. The purpose of this thesis is to examine the implementation of Ontario's access and privacy law. It centres on the question of whether or not the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, 1987, (FIPPA) has answered the demand for open access to government while at the same time protecting the personal privacy of individual citizens. It also assesses the extent to which this relatively new piece of legislation has made a difference to the people of Ontario. The thesis presents an overview of the issues of freedom of information and protection of privacy in Ontario. It begins with the evolution of the legislation and a description of the law itself. It focuses on the structures and processes which have been established to meet the procedural and administrative demands of the Act. These structures and processes are evaluated in two ways. First, the thesis evaluates how open the Ontario government has become and, second, it determines how Ill carefully the privacy rights of individuals are safeguarded. An analytical framework of administrative values is used to evaluate the overall performance of the government in these two areas. The conclusion is drawn that, overall, the Ontario government has effectively implemented the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, particularly by providing access to most government-held documents. The protection of individual privacy has proved to be not only more difficult to achieve, but more difficult to evaluate. However, the administrative culture of the Ontario bureaucracy is shown to be committed to ensuring that the access and privacy rights of citizens are respected.

HG 87.30-87.35

Dark brown sediment with clasts ranging from small to medium in size. Clast shape ranges from angular to sub-rounded. Rotation structures and lineations are common throughout the sample. Comet structures and grain stacking/crushing can also be seen in minor amounts.

P Burwell #2-87

Dark brown sediment with clasts ranging from small to medium in size. The clast shape ranges from sub-angular to sub-rounded. Lineations and grain crushing can be seen throughout the sample.

PBURWELL #1-87

This sample contains two main domains. One is a light brown sediment domain with mainly small clasts which are clustered together. Only a few larger clasts can be seen in this domain. The other one is dark brown with well dispersed clasts. The light brown domain contains clasts that range from sub-angular to sub-rounded in shape. Lineations can be commonly seen in this domain. Grain crushing is also common with minor amounts of rotation. In the dark brown domain, clasts range from small to medium in size. They range from sub-angular to sub-rounded in shape. A few lineations and rotation structures can be seen in this domain.

PBURWELL #4-87

Brown sediment with clasts ranging from small to medium in size. Clast shape ranges from sub-angular to rounded. Two mains domains can be observed; one mainly contains small clasts, and the other is a mix of small and medium sized clasts. The finer grained domain contains some organic material and is abundant in lineations. The coarser domain is also abundant in lineations but also contains crushed grains and comet structures.
