An hour long video of the inputs at the Dublin seminar entitled 'The Legacy of Frank Aiken and the role of small countries in times of danger and uncertainty' which took place on 2nd April 2025, organised by Lex Innocentium 21st Century and the Irish School of Ecumenics, is at www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0HP1qNtUSg
The talks were by Dr. Stephen Kelly (Liverpool Hope University), Dr. Patrick Bresnihan (Maynooth University) and Dr. John Maguire, Professor Emeritus of Sociology at University College Cork and provide a valuable input on Ireland’s non-aligned and peacemaking past and compare it with the current attempt to fully integrate Ireland into an EU-NATO militarist alliance.
This photo shows Dr Stephen Kelly of Liverpool Hope Univeristy speaking of Frank Aiken's legacy at the seminar. He is the author, along with Bryce Evans, of the book "Frank Aiken: Nationalist and Internationalist".

March 2, 2023. Boston, MA.
Climate activists held a Boston Fee Party rally on the Boston Harborwalk to highlight the reliance on fossil fuels for energy resulting in skyrocketing electric rates. The crowd of advocates, health professionals, elected officials and residents encouraged Governor Healey and her administration to lead Massachusetts in pushing the regional energy grid operator, Independent System Operator-New England (ISO-NE), to be more transparent, democratic and more renewable. Advocates called on ISO-NE to work with states and communities to stop propping up dirty energy electrical generation sources for use in the Northeast. Additionally, transition to 100% renewable energy through conservation, electrification and expansion of clean, local, safe renewable energy sources. Encourage small-scale and decentralized energy production and storage that protects the environment. Govern transparently and democratically with community input on infrastructure siting.

Nonprofits often struggle with how to select the right Development Officer!
Here are some tips:
1.Distinguish between a development officer and an administrative support person. Make sure you have adequate administrative support so that your professional development officer does not spend time inputting and manipulating data, scheduling meetings, or handling routine administrative tasks. This is a waste of the development officer’s time and expertise—and a waste of your money.
2. Craft a good job description. This is a leadership position with significant design and decision-making responsibilities. Your Chief Development Officer is a senior-level manager, part of the organization’s senior team.
3. Obviously, you have to hire someone who possesses the documented body of knowledge in fund development and demonstrates real-world experience.
4. In addition to expertise and experience in fund development, think about what you expect in anyone who holds a senior-level position. For example: a Team player. Effective supervisor, mentor, and coach for other employees and for volunteers who help with fund development. Strategic and critical thinker. Problem identifier and fixer. Leader. (And you must define what you mean by “leadership,” because there are so many different interpretations. The right development officer, if she is the chief development officer, should be an organization development specialists. This includes having familiarity with systems thinking and learning organization management theories. They should have knowledge of governance to be able to facilitate that with board members on committees along with general management and strategic planning expertise.
5. You should understand enough about fundraising to be able to conduct an interview. For example, the Certified Fund Raising Executive (CFRE) is the baseline credential for fundraisers. Maybe you will want to bring in a professional fundraiser to help review resumes, help craft interview questions, and participate in the interviews. Consider conducting a preliminary interview to verify specific information and get an initial impression of the candidate. Then, the leadership should select the top candidates for interviews. Hopefully, you have identified three to five candidates for interviews. Make sure to send your final candidates’ critical information about your organization. You should expect the candidates to come prepared to comment on your materials.
For example, include the following items:
Your most recent annual report, audit, current strategic and fundraising plan.
A couple of copies of your donor communications, e.g., a donor newsletter, a solicitation letter, a case for support.
Organizational structure, e.g., showing staffing structure and senior management team.
List of board members and their general information, e.g., occupation, etc.
Some donor statistics, e.g., the number of donors, donor retention and acquisition rates.
The right development officer will be able to share astute insights from the information you have provided.
The Development Officer Interview Process:
Construct your interview team carefully. Make sure everyone on the interview team understands his/her role and limits. The interview team should likely involve: three to four board members, including the Fund Development Committee Chair; one or two members of the Fund Development Committee; and perhaps the board chair. Additionally, members of the senior administration, e.g., head of departments, programs, missions and finance/business officer, and any member of the senior management team.
To identify the right development officer, interview questions are critically important. Good interview questions require that a candidate think carefully, respond thoughtfully, and demonstrate expertise and experience to you. Assign different questions to different people on the interview team. Alternate general questions with fundraising-specific questions. Determine the order in which you want to ask the questions. And, of course, other members of the interview team can ask for clarification even if they did not ask the question originally.
Considerations:
Pay attention to what the candidates ask you. Their questions demonstrate their insights and expertise and experience. Their questions demonstrate the application of their knowledge and experience based on a review of your information.
You should expect job candidates to be assertive and gracious, candid and respectful. Expect the candidate to offer a gentle critique and advice about how to improve your organization’s fundraising. You do not want to hire a meek, mild, overly polite, go-along-to-get-along candidate. You want a leader—and that means being courageous, speaking out, challenging assumptions, and being a change agent.
Possible Interview questions:
1. Describe how, in a previous position, you overcame resistance to fundraising from:
Executives or administration
The board or fundraising committee
Staff or volunteers
2. What are the process or the thinking that you use to build a development team and a development function?
3. Share an example of a successful solicitation of yours. Describe the process from the concept and design of it through what made it successful, and what you learned from the experience.
4. Share an example of a not-so-successful solicitation of yours. Again, describe the process from the concept and design of it through what made it not so successful, and what you learned from the experience?
5. Tell us about your philosophy on relationship building, including the connection as you see it between relationship building and solicitation.
6. How will you help this institution identify those who are interested, qualify them as prospects, and then transition them into donors?

There are numerous gaps and differences between both records. Every effort has been made to best record events and incorporate all information; any corrections or suggestions gratefully received (chrisborough@gmail.com).
The tug Mort Bay was originally built as a fishing vessel by William (Bill) Ryan in Taree in 1968. She was sold shortly after launch and was completed as a tug by late 1969.

2015 – 2024+: Bernard and Elizabeth Hooley. Believed to be renamed Loam. In poor condition, she was purchased by the owner of Murradoc Farm, Drysdale, Victoria and installed as a static display in September 2017. The tug, has been recently re-painted and is now (2024) known as Mort Bay.
INITIAL LIFE
The Mort Bay commenced life as a fishing vessel; she was built by Messrs. W.O. Ryan and Sons (William (Bill) Oscar Ryan) at Browns Creek, Taree. It is believed that she was commissioned by Sydney-based professional fisherman, George Ross Miller, and may have been named Robert M.
LAUNCH
Launch of the Mort Bay into Browns Creek, Taree - a tributary of the Manning River. The launch date was in November 1968. The launch site, including the rails, is still visible at Browns Creek.
After launch, Mort Bay was purchased by Harbour Lighterage Ltd. Circa early 1969 arrangements were made to add the superstructure needed suit her life as a tug.
MORT BAY DEPARTS FOR SYDNEY
The Mort Bay was loaded at the Manning River Co-op Dairy Society Ltd's wharf at Chatham in preparation for her voyage to Sydney via Newcastle.
REGISTERED IN SYDNEY - 1972
The Mort Bay was not registered until 23rd August 1972 - to the Rozelle Lighterage and Storage Co. Pty Ltd. Rozelle Lighterage & Storage may well have been a subsidiary of Harbour Lighterage Ltd.
OPERATION ON SYDNEY HARBOUR
As part of the fleet of tugs operating under Harbour Lighterage Ltd., Mort Bay was used constantly on numerous tasks. Her role as a tug terminated and she was sold by auction (for $34,000) at Rozelle on 10th September 1992 when Harbour Lighterage sold its fleet.
1992 PURCHASED AND SOLD TO JOHN? ALDRITT
Mori Flapan records Calico Jack as purchased by Aldritt (John?) in 1992 and sold in 2002. Little is known of her life at Coasters Retreat (Pittwater). She was later sold to Queensland interests – circa 2000.
This is the story of Calico Jack: John Rackham (hanged 18 November 1720), commonly known as Calico Jack, was an English pirate captain operating in the Bahamas and in Cuba during the early 18th century. His nickname was derived from the calico clothing that he wore, while Jack is a nickname for "John".
Rackham was active towards the end (1718–1720) of the "Golden Age of Piracy". He is most remembered for having two female crew members: Mary Read and his lover, Anne Bonny. Rackham deposed Charles Vane from his position as captain of the sloop Ranger, then cruised the Leeward Islands, Jamaica Channel and Windward Passage. He accepted the King's Pardon in 1719 and moved to New Providence, where he met Anne Bonny, who was married to James Bonny at the time. He returned to piracy in 1720 by stealing a British sloop and Anne joined him. Their new crew included Mary Read, who was disguised as a man at the time. After a short run, Rackham was captured by Jonathan Barnet, an English privateer, in 1720, put on trial by Sir Nicholas Lawes, Governor of Jamaica, and hanged in November of that year in Port Royal, Jamaica.
Source - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calico_Jack
Lindsay Rex records Mort Bay was “purchased 10th September 1992 for $34,000 by Damian Fitzgerald (nominal owner Sylvia Willis) and recorded as named Calico Jack by March 2000 (in Port Macquarie)”. It seems possible that Damian Willis sold to Aldritt shortly after purchase. Any further information would be gratefully received.
CALICO JACK RE-LOCATED TO QUEENSLAND IN 2000
Little information is available on her life in Queensland. Mori Flapan records that she was “Refitted & converted to yacht and engine recently rebuilt by 2001. 2001/12 for sale at $155,000: In survey for 49 passengers by 2002”.
2002 SOLD AND RELOCATED TO PORTLAND – RE-NAMED TOWALONG
In June 2002 Calico Jack was purchased by Dale Jennings of Portland and re-located from Redcliffe in Queensland to Portland in Victoria via Newcastle (9th July 2002). By March 2003 she had been named Towalong [Lindsay Rex]. N.B. Mori Flapan records the owner as Malcolm Sinclair.
From 2002/04 she was displayed at the boat museum Portland, Vic. In late 2005, she was recorded as berthed in the Maribyrnong River, Melbourne [Mori Flapan]. In early 2006 the owner attempted to establish Towalong as a charter vessel in Melbourne but, after two months, the venture was unsuccessful and she was returned to Portland. [Lindsay Rex]
RENAMED MELBOURNE {MSV10590} CIRCA. LATE 2012 – OR CALICO JACK IN 2010
By late 2012 she is believed to have been renamed Melbourne {MSV10590}. Contrary to other reports, Lindsay Rex makes no mention of the naming of the Towalong as Melbourne {MSV10590}; conversely he records Towalong being renamed Calico Jack again in June 2010.
2015? - BELIEVED TO BE RE-NAMED LOAM?.
There is reference to the vessel being named Loam but no details are available [Mori Flapan] and hence the date 2015 is an educated guess. There may be a connection with the name of the restaurant LOAM that operated from Murradoc Farm, Drysdale (closed in June 2013).
On 7th September 2017 the vessel was lifted by mobile crane and placed on a low loader. The deckhouse, raised wheelhouse and funnel were removed before the lift [Lindsay Rex]
IN POOR CONDITION - TAKEN TO OAKDENE ESTATE, DRYSDALE
In 2017 Oakdene Estate purchased Murradoc Farm that comprised both an Olive plantation and a vineyard. On 7th September 2017 what is believed to known as Loam, the wooden double ended ex-tug was lifted by mobile crane and placed on a low loader on 7th September 2017 then transported to the Lighthouse Olive Oil farm site at Drysdale, where it was placed on the ground on 11th September 2017 with supporting steelwork. The deckhouse, raised wheelhouse and funnel had been removed before the lift and were then refitted to the hull. The vessel is to become a feature outside the adjoining shed which will be developed as the cellar door for Oakdene Wines. Both businesses and the vessel are owned by Bernard and Elizabeth Hooley. [Source Lindsay Rex]
RE-NAMED MORT BAY BY NEW OWNERS
The owners of Oakdene Estate refer to her by her original name - Mort Bay. The vessel is on hard stand. Recently repainted, she is located at Murradoc Farm, Drysdale.
LOCATION OF MORT BAY - ON MURRADOC FARM - 2024
The Mort Bay is located on the vineyard of Oakdene Estate (previously Murradoc Farm) off Anderson Road, Drysdale - not currently (2024) open to the public.

After consideration of a variety of options and public input, the City of Dublin 270/33 Aesthetic Design Selection Committee has chosen the Scioto River as the public art theme to be incorporated into the forthcoming reconstruction of interchange. The Scioto River theme will be integrated into the retaining walls and structural elements of the new interchange.
Committee members selected the river because of its ability to convey several different and important messages about Dublin. The river can be seen as a symbol of longevity, having been here before settlement, and it will always remain a part of the community. The river also embodies several aspects of Dublin as a “green” community, while being able to showcase the popularity of outdoor recreational activities in Dublin.
The design will also include Celtic accents along the bridge’s piers and parapets. With this selection, Dublin officials will work with the Ohio Department of Transportation to finalize details about the design. The aesthetics will be incorporated into the interchange as it is widened and improved. The first phase of reconstruction of the interchange could begin in late 2014.
