Digital Trust

Social Media Strategies to Increase Trust and Engage Customers

By: Barry Connolly

A guide to how e-SMEs can successfully engage within social media communities to positively influence their brand trust and reputation. Consumer trust is more important than ever, as digital platforms and social media have redefined the relationship between businesses and consumers. In this new and disruptive commercial environment, consumers have developed an expectancy of direct, transparent communication through social media. The traditional means of building and maintaining trust have been rendered obsolete by the chaotic, competitive magnitude of multiple online platforms. With a unique combination of academic rigour and practical guidance, Digital Trust is the definitive guide to effectively using social media to build an authentic, trustful connection with your consumer base. Drawing on his extensive experience in marketing and communications, Barry Connolly demonstrates how to harness the commercial opportunities provided by social media, while also showing how you can avoid its most common mistakes and pitfalls. With original research and illuminating case studies, Digital Trust provides adaptable and accessible social media strategies that will strengthen and expand your consumer base.

The Practice of Spiritual Direction

By: William A. Barry,William J. Connolly

The Classic Work on Helping People Become Closer to God Fathers Barry and Connolly see the work of spiritual direction as helping people to develop their relationship with God. In thinking and practice they have absorbed the insights of modern psychotherapy, but have not been absorbed by them. This highly practical book reflects the authors' experience at the Center for Religious Development in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where spiritual direction is available and where directors are trained.

33 A.D. In the months following the death and resurrection of Jesus, his followers grow in faith and numbers. But in Jerusalem, the high priest of the Great Temple mounts a campaign of terror against them. Called to lead this persecution is a zealous young scholar, Saul of Tarsus. Many of the believers in the Way of Christ flee for their lives, forced to abandon home and family. Some seek sanctuary in the northern territories. Caught in the midst of this turmoil and peril are a young Jewish artisan and the Roman centurion who cares deeply for her. Both will be swept up in a transformative journey of discovery, faith and love On the Road to Damascus.

On Blueberry Hill

By: Sebastian Barry

Now we've lived together in contentment, more or less, for nigh on twenty year. Like turtle doves. - In prison, I mean, for fuck's sake, the chances of that.PJ and Christy: sworn enemies destined to share one small room for twenty years. As the two men recall the joys and torments of life outside - the childhood excursions, a deadly brawl, past loves and summer dresses - slowly they uncover the tragic events that have lead them to their cell in Montjoy. A play that explores our capacity to commit the deadliest of crimes but also our capacity for survival, reconciliation and love, ON BLUEBERRY HILL by Sebastian Barry (twice winner of the Costa Book of the Year) premiered in a Fishamble production at the Pavilion Theatre as part of the Dublin Theatre Festival and at the Centre Culturel Irlandais in Paris in October 2017.

Hinterland

By: Sebastian Barry

The latest dramatic offering from one of Ireland's master playwrights Johnny Silvester should be enjoying his retirement in his opulent home outside Dublin, but the past is catching up with him. Once lionized for ushering the Irish Republic into the modern world, Silvester has fallen out of favor not only with the public, but also with his family and friends. Rapidly aging and fed up with a barrage of criticism, he retreats to his study where he reassures himself of his inculpability and awaits a call from his doctor--a call he expects will bring news of a fatal affliction. As he hovers near the phone his family, friends, colleagues, journalists, and students come forth with their reproaches. Among these visitors is the Morleyesque ghost of Cornelius, an ex-colleague and one-time friend for whose mental breakdown and death Silvester is responsible. With Hinterland Sebastian Barry examines the personal and public risks involved in making political advances on a national scale. Weaving modern history in with the life story of a man and his family, Barry has created another searching drama of the uneasy balance between heroism and roguery in Irish politics.

Beatlebone

Beatlebone

By: Kevin Barry

John Lennon compró una isla en Irlanda. Ésta es la historia del fascinante viaje que hizo diez años después para encontrar la isla, pero sobre todo para encontrarse a sí mismo. Huyendo de la prensa, Lennon intenta calmar el espíritu y superar así los fantasmas que lo persiguen y le bloquean la creatividad. Para lograr esto, un conductor irlandés de lo más peculiar le hará de guía espiritual improvisado. Después de Ciudad de Bohane, Beatlebone (obra ganadora del Premio Goldsmith 2015) es la segunda incursión de Kevin Barry en el campo de la novela, con resultados igualmente extraordinarios. Con un dominio sublime del lenguaje y de los personajes, Barry nos muestra al Lennon más auténtico, el de humor cambiante y el ánimo atribulado, y nos sumerge en la exploración del pasado propio, los orígenes, lo que hemos hecho y lo que hemos dejado por hacer.

Missing and Unsolved: Ireland's Disappeared

The Unsolved Cases of Ireland's Missing Persons

By: Barry Cummins

They are some of Ireland's most famous names, for all the wrong reasons. They are Ireland's missing women, many of them murdered and their bodies hidden by evil killers who remain at large. They include Annie McCarrick, who was murdered in the Dublin-Wicklow mountains; Jo Jo Dullard, who was abducted and murdered while hitching a lift in Co. Kildare; and Fiona Pender, who was seven months pregnant when she was murdered and hidden at an unknown place in the midlands. And then there are Ireland's missing children. What ever happened to little Mary Boyle, last seen walking near her grandparents' home in Co. Donegal? And where is Philip Cairns, who was abducted from a Co. Dublin roadside while walking to school? Missing is a disturbing book, but it is also a tribute to the remarkable bravery of ordinary families who have lost a loved one in the most cruel and unexplained of circumstances.

Sebastian Barry's explores with vivid tenderness the devastating effects of public and private acts of violence. This is an intimate, heroic tale of ordinary and extraordinary life on the streets of Dublin. Fishamble's world premiere of The Pride of Parnell Street opened at the Tricycle Theatre, London, and as part of the Dublin Theatre Festival at the Tivoli Theatre, Dublin, in September 2007.

Dublin's Strangest Tales

Extraordinary but true stories

By: Michael Barry,Patrick Sammon

Welcome to the weird and wonderful world of Dublin. Though this isn’t the usual side of the city the tourists, travellers and residents see. This is the real Dublin, the strange and twisted nooks and crannies of the city’s bizarre history – past, present and future. Following on from the bestselling Portico Strangest titles now comes a book devoted to one of Ireland’s most beautiful, and popular, cities. Located on the beautiful eastern seaboard, Dublin is a city with more strangeness than you can shake a pint of Guinness at. Home to one million people, the name, strangely, comes from the Irish ‘Dubh Linn’, which means 'Black Pool', but that name was already taken. Dublin’s Strangest Tales is a treasure trove of the hilarious, the odd and the baffling – an alternative travel guide to some of the city’s best-kept secrets. Read on, if you dare! You have been warned.

Truth Behold

By: Chris Barry

Truth Behold is a story based around facts regarding the horrific abuse that went on in the Industrial Schools and Magdalen Laundries in Ireland during the 1940s '50s and '60s. The main character, Jim, finds himself on the edge of a cliff attempting to take his own life due to his feeling of hopelessness but at the last moment, he hesitates to go through with his fatal intentions. His wife Peg, finds his suicide note and in her moment of horror reveals her story regarding the abuse she and her brother Sean Og suffered at the hands of the Religious Orders while in care. Jim is thankful to fate for giving him a second chance at living for little did he realise that the ghosts of times past would visit him over the coming year and get Peg and himself to confront the truth. Jim researches into the past-history and workings of these schools and the deeper he researches the more horrors he stumbles upon. He simply can't understand why so-called respectable people working in the name of Christ could act in such a satanic way. The scene is set in Ireland in a small village in County Kerry in the early 1970s. The novel reveals soul searching moments coupled with moments of anger, sorrow, happiness, joy and humour...
