Order of Clans of Ireland







The Order of Clans of Ireland is an award made by Clans of Ireland, an organisation which seeks to authenticate and register Irish clans. The Order was instituted in 2010 to commemorate the 21st anniversary of Clans of Ireland. The patron of the Order is Michael D. Higgins, President of Ireland. The Order is intended to honour individuals who have made a significant contribution to their Clan, or Irish heritage and culture generally, or who have "brought conspicuous honour to their clan name".[1]

Structure and appointment

The Order of Clans of Ireland is intended to honour any man or woman from Ireland or with Irish ancestry who has made a significant contribution to their Clan, or Irish heritage and culture generally, or who have brought conspicuous honour to their clan name. The process of finding such individuals begins with a call for nominations each September which is sent to all clans registered with Clans of Ireland. Only clans that have been included on the Register of Irish Clans for three consecutive years may present nominations to the Order. There is no limit on the number of nominations that each clan may present or on the total membership of the Order but a maximum of four people may receive the honour each year.[1]


The Order is administered by a council who are appointed by the board of Clans of Ireland. The Order's statutes dictate that three members of council, including the chair must be drawn from the board of Clans of Ireland and a further two must be independent. Once appointed the Order's council is completely autonomous in its decisions and feedback is not given on unsuccessful nominations. Each year the Order's council convenes in the Spring to consider all nominations which have been presented by Clans or the board. The names of the successful nominations are published on 17 March (St. Patrick's Day). Recipients are normally inducted at a ceremony in Dublin in April of each year when they receive their insignia. The recipients also receive a letter of congratulations from the Order's patron, the President of Ireland.[2]


There is only one category of membership in the Order of Clans of Ireland and all inductees are designated as Companions of the Order of Clans of Ireland or in Irish Compánach Fhinte na hÉireann and may use the post-nominal letters CIOM.



Insignia




Breast Insignia and Miniature of the Order of Clans of Ireland


The Order's insignia was designed by heraldic artist Tim O'Neill of Dublin who has worked on a number of commissions for the Government of Ireland and the Office of the Chief Herald of Ireland. The insignia is the same for male and female inductees and is worn on the left side of the chest. It is a gold medal under an azure blue ribbon on a gold bar. The obverse of the medal is styled after the Book of Kells and shows a Chieftain passing a light to two younger figures representing the handing on of Irish culture and heritage. The reverse of the medal contains a traditional Irish harp styled after the one supposedly used by Turlough O'Carolan and now on display at Clonalis House, the seat of the Ó Conchubhair Donn.



Companions of the Order (Members)


Appointments to the Order are made each year by the council of the Order of Clans of Ireland and presentations made at a ceremony typically overseen by a related dignitary.[citation needed] For example, a number of 2013 conferrings were presented by the then Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht at the Irish Embassy in Italy.[3]

Dulmage-Mendelsohn matrix decomposition in Python

Image
0 Matlab has a function called dmperm that computes the so-called Dulmage–Mendelsohn decomposition of a n x n matrix. From wikipedia, the Dulmage–Mendelsohn is a partition of the vertices of a bipartite graph into subsets, with the property that two adjacent vertices belong to the same subset if and only if they are paired with each other in a perfect matching of the graph. Looking both on scipy and numpy, I could not find this function, nor some similar version. Is it possible to implement it using basic linear algebra operations? Any idea if this is implemented in some Python package? python matlab linear-algebra graph-theory matrix-decomposition share | improve this question
