Reflection and Prayer. 05/03/2014A00100Business of Seanad 05/03/2014A00200An Cathaoirleach: I have received notice from Senator Mary Moran, on the motion for the Adjournment of the House today, she proposes to raise the following matter: The need for the Minister for Health to address the lack of a child psychiatrist and mental health services for children with an intellectual disability in the Louth area and the further need for services for children with an intellectual disability in the 16 to 18 age group I have also received notice from Senator Denis O’Donovan of the following matter: The need for the Minister for Foreign Affairs to acknowledge the ongoing persecution of Christians in many parts of the world, in particular Syria, Iran and Iraq where Christians are unable to practice their faith I regard the matters raised by the Senators as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment and they will be taken at the conclusion of business 05/03/2014A00300Order of Business 05/03/2014A00400Senator Maurice Cummins: The Order of Business is No 1, statements on the reform of further education and training and the apprenticeship system, to be taken at 1145 am and to conclude not later than 130 pm, with the contributions of group spokespersons not to exceed eight minutes, those of all other Senators not to exceed five minutes and the Minister to be called on to reply to the debate not later than 120 pm; No 2, statements on the Action Plan for Jobs, to be taken at 3 pm and to conclude not later than 530 pm, with the contributions of group spokespersons not to exceed eight minutes, those of all other Senators not to exceed five minutes and the Minister to be called on to reply to the debate not later than 520 pm; No 200 5 March 2014 45, motion 6, Private Members’ business, to be taken at 530 pm and conclude not later than 730 pm 05/03/2014A00500Senator Denis O’Donovan: I ask the Leader to outline what stage the legal services Bill has reached It has been promised for the past three years but seems to have been sidelined for whatever reason When will it come before the House? My primary reason for rising to speak is to ask the Leader to recognise that the Govern- ment, last evening, accepted on principle the protection of residential mortgage holders Bill and allowed it to pass Second Stage in the Lower House That is an important acknowledgement of the work done by Deputy Michael McGrath My difficulty is with the commitment that the Minister and the Government have given to introduce the legislation in 2015 Due to the urgent nature of this matter and my desire to protect vulnerable mortgage holders I ask the Leader to give a clear commitment and convey a message to Government that 2015 is too late to introduce such legislation The sale of Irish Nationwide is imminent and Danske Bank, the Royal Bank of Scotland and the ACC Bank are all in the process of exiting the Irish market What about their customers? The danger here, which is acknowledged by senior Government figures, is that these vulture capitalists - most of whom are neither European nor American - are buying the loan books The kernel of the Bill, which was introduced by Deputy Michael McGrath in the Lower House, is that the code of conduct on mortgage arrears currently applied by the Central Bank will also apply to those taken over by these vulture capitalists They must be protected Even though the Government accepted the principle of the Bill in the Lower House, it is too dangerous to kick it to touch for another 12 months That will be too late for many concerned mortgage holders Many of them are beleaguered and under pressure so they need such protec- tion As bad as things are at the moment, at least there is some protection under the aegis of the Central Bank There will be no written guarantee until the Government’s proposed legislation is introduced in 12 months’ time and passed to ensure that such mortgages are protected It is an extremely serious issue I ask the Leader to comment on how the Water Services (No 2) Bill 2013 applies to rural water schemes Many such schemes have not been taken in charge by the local authority, so they appear to be in limbo Perhaps the Leader could enlighten me about what is available for those schemes for which trustees were established Hundreds of people have got water from some excellent schemes but they have not reached the final stage whereby the local authority takes charge of them They are now the responsibility of Irish Water Unfortunately, those schemes that are three-quarters baked are not currently under the control of a local authority or Irish Water, so that limbo situation should be addressed Perhaps the Leader could acknowl- edge the difficulty and tell us where these people stand 05/03/2014B00200Senator Ivana Bacik: Like others, I wish to call on the Leader again to organise a de- bate on Ukraine At the moment, things are at a very difficult stage I commend the Tánaiste, Deputy Gilmore, for calling in the Russian ambassador yesterday to make clear Ireland’s view that a peaceful resolution is essential Anyone who saw the extraordinary footage last night of the unarmed Ukrainian soldiers bravely confronting heavily armed Russian troops in an attempt to take back their bases on their own territory in Crimea, will know just how commendably the Ukrainian armed forces are responding They are not being provoked by the extreme provoca- tion they are facing from Putin’s policies in Russia We all very much hope that there will be a peaceful resolution We also hope that the European summit this week will have an impact on Russian policy and that the Ukraine will manage to hold onto its territory 201 Seanad Éireann Following the National Women’s Council report, I also wish to ask the Leader to arrange for a debate on the creation of a gender-balanced and women-friendly Oireachtas My colleague, Senator Hayden, raised this issue yesterday Many of us attended the launch by the National Women’s Council of its publication entitled A Parliament of All Talents: Building a Women- Friendly Oireachtas, which features Senator Susan O’Keeffe It was launched yesterday by the Minister for Social Protection, Deputy Joan Burton The National Women’s Council has done a huge amount of work in preparing this report which makes recommendations on how the Oireachtas could become more women-friendly, and how we could see more female parlia- mentarians coming forward The electoral amendment legislation we have passed, which provides for gender quotas, will have a transformative effect in the next general election in ensuring that we will see more women elected to the Dáil and hopefully also to the Seanad The report’s recommendations would make the Oireachtas a better place for all of us, both men and women, to work in I previ- ously put similar recommendations before the Seanad Committee on Procedure and Privileges, and might do so again Following discussions at the CPP, we could then have a debate to see how we can examine our own internal working procedures to make them more family-friendly I am also seeking a debate on diversity in the workplace generally Yesterday, I attended the launch of a report by GLEN, the Gay and Lesbian Equality Network, supported by Ernst & Young and Trinity College The excellent survey examines diversity in light of the experience of LGBT employees in the workplace The survey of 600 employees describes their experi- ences of difficulties with coming out and discrimination at work It commends employers who have managed to achieve a good experience of diversity in the workplace and who have ben- efited as a result A lot of work has been done on the benefits to employers of ensuring inclusion and better diversity in the workplace I am therefore seeking a general debate on diversity in the workplace, based on both reports 05/03/2014B00300Senator Feargal Quinn: Once again this week we have practically no legislation coming through this House We have had very little in recent weeks and I gather that we might not have much coming next week either We have to do

  • A Semiotic Analysis of RTÉ Television News
    Critical Social Thinking: Policy and Practice, Vol. 2, 2010 School of Applied Social Studies, University College Cork, Ireland Whose Frame Is It Anyway? A Semiotic Analysis of RTÉ Television News Mark Cullinane, BSocSc Abstract This article serves as an exploration of the extent, if at all, to which RTÉ Television News disproportionately embodies the attitudes, beliefs and assumptions of particular worldviews. Using a multiplicity of theoretical paradigms, the project sought to examine to what extent RTÉ News output could be considered ‘system-maintaining’ or ‘system-challenging’, and to detail the means by which the ‘preferred meaning’ of news- if one exists- is generated. Informed by the framework of framing/agenda- setting theory and semiotics, a combination of analyses were chosen and applied to uncover latent meanings embedded within news texts. A small selection of news texts concerning the nationalisation of Anglo Irish Bank in January 2009 comprised the data sample. The textual analyses revealed a strong preponderance of system- maintaining frames; frequent editorialising; an absence of competing discursive positions; and a heavily episodic orientation that focused on personalities and near- term sequences of events rather than broader systems-level analysis. Keywords: mass communications; semiotics; framing; television news. Critical Social Thinking: Policy and Practice, Vol. 2, 2010 Introduction 'Communication is too often taken for granted when it should be taken to pieces' (Fiske, in Hartley, 1982, p.xiii) The idea that the mass media possesses power over its audiences is not a new one, indeed, it has become a cliché. Identifying the precise nature of this power, however, is not an easy process.

  • Journalism, Politics and the Celtic Tiger Journalists
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by DCU Online Research Access Service Chapter 8 Declan Fahy A limited focus? Journalism, politics and the Celtic Tiger Journalists dominated the 2009 end-of-year bestseller lists with books castigating Ireland’s financial and political elites for causing the financial crisis that would eventually claim the country’s economic sovereignty. In The Bankers Shane Ross criticised bank executives and regulators for their close relationship that facilitated years of reckless property speculation, while in Who really runs Ireland? Matt Cooper laid out the elite nexus of bankers, developers, politicians and media owners that he argued allowed a thriving economy to overheat. In Ship of Fools, Fintan O’Toole traced the entwined Irish histories of economic mismanagement, political corruption and financial fraud that combined so disastrously in the crisis. In Follow the Money, David McWilliams described a panicked Irish government amid the 2008 global financial meltdown, as then finance minister Brian Lenihan, eating garlic to stay awake, paid a late-night visit to the columnist’s house for advice. In Anglo Republic, Simon Carswell forensically examined the succession of high-risk financial decisions by Anglo Irish Bank executives that forced the government to guarantee bank debts and deposits. These books unflinchingly laid out the national systemic political and financial failure that found apt symbolism, among international media, in the half-finished ‘ghost estates’ that littered the Irish countryside. 190 These post-crash books were cutting and critical. But such comprehensive analyses, commentators noted, were mostly absent during the boom years, from the mid-1990s to the mid-2000s, when Ireland’s economy expanded with unprecedented growth.

  • Statement to the Oireachtas Committee of Inquiry Into the Banking Crisis in Ireland Ed Mulhall
    Statement to the Oireachtas Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis in Ireland Ed Mulhall The starting premise for a discussion of RTÉ's editorial policy on the coverage of any area of public interest is that there is no single expression of it. RTÉ's output is based on a set of principles which are derived from its statutory obligations. These principles form the framework for editorial decision making and there is an editorial structure in place to monitor, discuss and challenge the editorial selections being made so as to ensure they are being adhered to. In addition, all RTÉ's activities are subject to a regulatory structure to ensure that the organisation is meeting its public service obligations. Those working in editorial roles in RTÉ operate under a shared understanding of RTÉ’s obligations under various statutes, notably the 1976 Broadcasting Act as amended and the 2009 Broadcasting Act. In RTÉ News, this translates into a very simple premise: inform the audience in the public interest. The political scientist Jean Blondel - in an essay written in honour of the late RTÉ broadcaster Brian Farrell - calls the role to inform the noblest of tasks because it is the most difficult. It requires the reporting of facts, sometimes the establishment of facts, their selection according to their importance and the presentation of them with related material to allow their meaning or significance to be understood. What is important to report in the public interest is a constantly evolving question that is impacted on by events and does not adhere to any fixed state of national consensus.

  • Attitudes and Behaviour in the Second Referendum on the Treaty of Lisbon
    Attitudes and Behaviour in the Second Referendum on the Treaty of Lisbon Richard Sinnott and Johan A. Elkink Geary Institute and School of Politics and International Relations University College Dublin Report prepared for the Department of Foreign Affairs July 2010 Introduction Twice within the last decade, Irish government proposals to ratify new EU treaties have been defeated by referendum (the referendum on the Treaty of Nice in 2001 and that on the Treaty of Lisbon in 2008). Both outcomes were reversed in follow-on referendums within a year or so of the defeat. Although the net outcome in each case was that Ireland could proceed to ratify the EU treaties in question, the experience was not one that any Irish government would wish to repeat. In this context, our report on attitudes and behaviour in the first Lisbon referendum concluded by noting the “undeniable need” to address the issue of public support for the process of European integration “not just now and not just in the run-up to a referendum but on an on-going and long-term basis”. 1 Our ability to analyse Irish attitudes to European integration and the behaviour consequent on such attitudes has been significantly enhanced by the decision to conduct a post- referendum poll not just after the 2008 referendum NO but also after the 2009 referendum YES. Beginning with a summary of the main trends in voting in Irish EU referendums, this report analyses the sources of the YES and NO votes and of abstention in the 2009 Lisbon referendum. Fieldwork for the poll was conducted by Millward Brown Lansdowne between 20 th and 23 rd November 2009.
