  • January 2019 Poll
    General Election & Attitudes Towards Brexit Opinion Poll January 2019 Methodology and Weighting ⁄ RED C interviewed a random sample of 1000 adults aged 18+ by telephone between the 17th-24th January 2019. ⁄ A random digit dial (RDD) method is used to ensure a random selection process of households to be included – this also ensures that ex-directory households are covered. ⁄ Half of the sample are interviewed using an RDD landline sample, with the other half conducted using an RDD mobile phone sample, this ensures 98% coverage of the population reaching landline only households, mobile only households and those with both a landline and a mobile. ⁄ Interviews were conducted across the country and the results weighted to the profile of all adults. A further past vote weighting is included that takes the recall for how people voted at the last election, compares this to the actual results and weights the data between the two. ⁄ Vote intention results are weighted based on turnout, including both how likely each respondent is to actually go and vote on a 10 point scale, where 1 is not at all likely and 10 is very likely, as well as whether or not they voted in the last general election. ⁄ In all respects the poll was completed to the opinion polling guidelines set out by both ESOMAR and AIMRO. 2 General Election First Preference Vote Intention – 27th January 2019 If the general election was tomorrow which party or independent candidate do you think you would give your first preference vote to?

  • Migration Patterns in Dublin County Borough
    Migration Patterns in Dublin County Borough N. JOHNSON N the last 15 years Dublin has undergone a dramatic change, from the fairly sleepy introverted capital of the 26 counties, it has been transformed into a relatively I sophisticated and increasingly cosmopolitan financial and commercial centre. The large demand for office space has led to a change in function of an ever-growing number of buildings in the central city area, while the steadily increasing population is being housed and rehoused in new suburban estates around and beyond the city perimeter. Change has been rapid and this study, limited to that area included in the County Borough due to lack of adequate data, concentrates on certain facets of the city in explanation of the continuous movements of its population. It will show how, as in the majority of cities in the Western Hemisphere, the ecological process of invasion and succession determined the present composition of Dublin and it will outline along what path, without official intervention, its future pattern of growth may proceed. The Growth of Modern Dublin Urban ecologists1 describe the usual process of a city's growth in terms of a centrifugal process. The continuous pressure of migrant population on central city accommodation causes the residents to move to the periphery of the city in order to escape the encroach­ ing slums. This process of invasion and succession continues with the areas of over- *I wish to thank Professor B. Hutchinson, Dr R. C. Geary and Dr Brendan M. Walsh for their valuable criticisms and Peter Neary for conducting the statistical analysis in this paper.

  • Challenger Party List
    Appendix List of Challenger Parties Operationalization of Challenger Parties A party is considered a challenger party if in any given year it has not been a member of a central government after 1930. A party is considered a dominant party if in any given year it has been part of a central government after 1930. Only parties with ministers in cabinet are considered to be members of a central government. A party ceases to be a challenger party once it enters central government (in the election immediately preceding entry into office, it is classified as a challenger party). Participation in a national war/crisis cabinets and national unity governments (e.g., Communists in France’s provisional government) does not in itself qualify a party as a dominant party. A dominant party will continue to be considered a dominant party after merging with a challenger party, but a party will be considered a challenger party if it splits from a dominant party. Using this definition, the following parties were challenger parties in Western Europe in the period under investigation (1950–2017). The parties that became dominant parties during the period are indicated with an asterisk.

  • DICTIONNAIRE DES DROITES POPULISTES ET RADICALES Jean-Yves Camus
    21 Mai 2019 EUROPE EUROPÉENNES : DICTIONNAIRE DES DROITES POPULISTES ET RADICALES Jean-Yves Camus Comment s’y retrouver dans le foisonnement de listes qualifiées tour à tour d’eurosceptiques, de populistes et de radicales, voire d’extrême droite – ces qualificatifs étant utilisés de manière interchangeable ? Jean-Yves Camus, directeur de l'Observatoire des radicalités politiques de la Fondation Jean-Jaurès, propose, avec un état des lieux précis, d'aider à la compréhension des enjeux. ALLEMAGNE (96 SIÈGES) Score lors du dernier scrutin européen (2014) : 7% Actuelles intentions de vote : autour de 12% Le seuil de représentation étant, en Allemagne, d’environ 0,5% des voix, l’Alternative pour l’Allemagne (AfD), qui obtiendrait 12% des voix derrière la CDU-CSU (29%), les Verts (18%) et le SPD (16%) n’est pas la seule à pouvoir obtenir des sièges. Le Parti national-démocrate (NPD), « parti social-patriote » aux réminiscences néo-nazies, tente de faire reconduire son député sortant, le berlinois Udo Voigt. Il fait campagne sur la nécessité de bâtir une « forteresse-Europe » pour endiguer « l’immigration, question centrale de notre avenir ». Le NPD estime qu’il « fait partie d'un vaste mouvement global qui, de Brest à Budapest, de Lisbonne à Vladivostok, résiste à l'emprise meurtrière du Moloch bruxellois et souhaite rétablir la liberté et la souveraineté des peuples européens ». Il souhaite que « l’Europe reste le foyer de l’humanité occidentale et de sa culture unique ». Le seuil de représentation donne au Familen Partei, une formation chrétienne conservatrice mais pro-européenne, l’occasion de garder son eurodéputé, avec la liste pro-vie et pro-famille traditionnelle menée par Helmut Geuking.

  • KEEPING in TOUCH Joe Costello TD
    KEEPING IN TOUCH Joe Costello TD Autumn 2014 EXCITING NEW ERA FOR GRANGEGORMAN AS 1,000 STUDENTS ARRIVE IN SEPTEMBER September 2014 marks the arrival of the first cohort of students on the Dublin Institute of Technology (DIT) campus which is being constructed on the 73 acre site at Grangegorman, Dublin 7. As the local public representative and member of the Grangegorman Consultative Group, I worked with my colleagues, Minsters Brendan Howlin and Ruairi Quinn to ensure the inclusion of this €230 million project in the Government Stimulus package. With St Brendan’s Hospital relocated to the Phoenix Care Centre, the DIT campus development is well under way. Site infrastructure and public realm works are in progress. The six protected structures on the site are now being converted for educational use and will accommodate the first DIT students from the DIT School of Media and Fine Art who will arrive in September 2014. The DIT project is labour intensive and to ensure that the local community benefits from it, we have secured agreement for a 20% local employment clause. Over 2,000 construction jobs will be created over the next three years. The local labour charter will ensure that local people access employment from the project. Should you wish to register for local employment at Grangegorman send your curriculum vitae to the Local Employment Service, 42 Manor Street, Dublin 7 or email [email protected] Joe Costello TD at the Clock Tower, Grangegorman Often promised in the old days by Fianna Fail, particularly around election time, the world-class educational facility at Grangegorman is now finally being delivered by Labour in Government for the people of Dublin.
