Galicia: settlement and landscape change. Comparisons and contrasts with Ireland
(Group for the Study of Irish Historic Settlement, 2019) O'Flanagan, Patrick
The statue of Breogán beside Corunna’s famous lighthouse, La Torre de Hércules, reminds us that former contacts between Ireland and Galicia are still alive in popular imagination. Deeper down, comparing social and territorial structures, there are some remarkable shared structures and even deeper contrasts. Galicians demonstrate distinctive DNA profiles not shared else-where on the peninsula except in northernPortugal. Also in their profile is a notable North African element – however, there is less than five per cent comparison with Irish profiles. Also outstanding is extreme localisms emphasizing intense territorial endogamy. My task here is to present an outline of the processes at work sculpting modern Galician cultural landscape change citing relevant comparative experiences.

Housing outside Irish towns: An analysis of household characteristics, motivations and preferences
(Irish Planning Institute, 1988) Storey, David; O'Flanagan, Patrick
A considerable amount has been written about ribbon development which has tended to give the Impression that this is the only type of housing development in rural areas. Recent work by An Foras Forbartha serves to place ribbon development in its broader context. Their survey of houses built in rural areas in Ireland in 1983 revealed that over 70 percent were isolated, rather than in ribbons or clusters (Jennings and Bissett, 1986).

Galicía en el marco geográfico e histórico de la Europa atlántica
(Departamento de Xeografía, Universidade de Santiago de Compostela, 2001) O'Flanagan, Patrick
This piece attempts to illustrate some of the difficulties inherent in previous efforts to define and contextualise a specific region, namely Atlantic Europe. By employing these discourses as a background there is an endeavour to identify the cardinal processes which have bequeathed on Galicia a durable and powerful Atlantic heritage.

La geografia historica de Galiza: Unha aproximación
(Xunta da Galicia, 1992) O'Flanagan, Patrick
Atlantic Europe is a mosaic of cultural regions and cultural landscapes who together share a broad ecological and historical heritage. Each region in this extensive zone has, over time, developed discrete cultural characteristics which have been grafted onto existing structures. Or, they have not integrated and they stand apart and aloof from their cultural context.
