It is no easy task soliciting, reading and editing this volume of material and as ever the devil is in generating interesting discussion whilst getting the detail right. Greg has led the team well and the fruits of their labours are now to be enjoyed and savoured. Student led geography publications remain a valuable and fascinating source of insight into the kinds of geographical imaginations, which Universities are honing in the contemporary period. Professor Chris Philo was so intrigued by the journal produced by Geography students at the University of Glasgow - titled Drumlin - that he in fact dedicated a whole paper to this topic in the journal *Progress in Human Geography* Philo noted the ways in which the choice of research topics, research approaches, analytic styles, genres of writing, modes of expression, and so on contained in student journals always expose something fundamental about how students are picking up on ideas which are being generated and circulated by academic staff and wider geographical literature. Invariably the student’s perspective anticipates developments in human geography rather than follows such developments - and indeed given some of the trends in contemporary human geography it is often the grounded views of students which provide the necessary corrective to ideas which are rather too esoteric and self indulgent to be valuable! That NUI Maynooth students title their journal ‘Milieu’ and not ‘Drumlin’ provides in itself an interesting insight into the thinking of this geography community. Of course being so flat presumably the title Drumlin was never up for consideration in these parts! The genecology of the term Milieu in the Maynooth mind may never be fully known - although for sure colleagues will have some interesting pet theories. Milieu of course might be traced back to humanistic geographical concerns that came of age in the 1970s in Geography. Then, notions of sense of place, ecumene, place and placelessness, home, and human(e) environments were being mulled over by people like Anne Buttimer, Ted Relph, Yi Fu Tuan, and John Pickles. The concept of Milieu resonates with the collegiality, which marks the Kildare/Maynooth experience. It is a fitting title for a town whose atmosphere and sense of place cannot be easily articulated but which is welcoming, comfortable, and comforting in equal measure. I like to think that it was this backdrop that gave birth to the journal. Congratulations to all those who have written interesting pieces for this year’s journal and to those that have undertaken the task of sifting and sorting to chisel everything into shape. You now join the halls of fame and perhaps one day your work too will be dissected and theorised as a small but valuable and insightful comment on the historical geography of geographical knowledge. Professor Mark Boyle - Head of Department of geography 3 Editors Notes The job of editing this, the 31st, Edition of Milieu was made very easy. The reason for being so was because of the fantastic work and effort from the MILIEU Committee. The Milieu Committee include the following members of the NUI Maynooth Geography Society, Pamela Dore (President), Sandra Walsh (Vice-President), Brendan O’Reilly (Treasurer), Paul Geraghty (PRO), and Rebecca McGovern (Secretary). I would like to thank Caroline McCabe for her help with the committee and a special thank you goes to Felix Schweikhardt. Felix has encouraged the efforts of other Erasmus students to write articles for this Edition of Milieu. He himself has two articles contained within the bounds of this book. The Geography society in NUI Maynooth has stepped up again with this the 31st issue, last year’s edition was the first to go to a gum bound hard cover, this year has the benefit of the inclusion of colour pages. The Range of articles and topics has been as widespread as usual. We have a good selection from 1st, 2nd, & 3rd years plus postgraduates. We also have an article from a student from UCD. The inclusion of articles from lecturers again shows the strength of the Milieu as an Annual Geographical Journal. We would like to thank the new head of Geography at NUI Maynooth, Professor Mark Boyle, for his Foreword to this issue. The front cover of this issue and the NUIM Geography website has been created by a non-Geography student, James Doyle. We would like to thank and recognize all of your efforts that you have made to make things work behind the scenes. Thanks James. I hope many students will enjoyably read this issue. I have enjoyed being a part of the Geography Society and especially of taking an active part in the Milieu committee. I hope the next Geography Society members and the next Milieu Committee will enjoy putting Milieu together as much as I have. Greg White (Editor) 4 NUIM Geography Society: 2007-2008 Welcome to the 31st edition of Milieu, the annual journal of the NUIM Geography Society. Last year the society had the fantastic success of winning Most Improved Society 2007 at the Clubs and Society’s Awards, and this year has seen an increase in membership to over 130 as the society continues to grow and build on last year’s success. So what did we get up to this year? Well we started off early with the AGM making plans for the year, and we were away. A new bebo site was launched and the website was overhauled. The first event was a careers talk in UCD to hear what Geographers actually do once we leave the leafy Rhetoric House with our degree in hand. Back in Maynooth (after an interesting bus journey home) we continued talking of future prospects. Over the midterm a GPS treasure hunt on South Campus was mapped by some committee members. You know what you should never say when crossing the rocks in the garden’s pond on the south campus? “I’m always afraid I’m going to fall in” because inevitably you will, not naming any names of course. Several brave souls turned up on a very rainy and windy day and raced around South campus through some typical Irish weather and eventually found us with the aid of their trusty GPS. Our next main event was the Christmas Party in the Arts Block. The Doyle and Kelly families went head to head in Geography Family Fortunes, and the guest host led a very tight game with some interesting families! In the end the Doyle family emerged victorious, even if one of their questions “Name 4 geography lecturers from the UK” went to the only non-geography student contestant! The first semester drew to a close, Christmas came and went too fast (as usual) and then it was exams time. Then we were back with a bang helping organising a 70’s Charity night raising money for the Maire Keating foundation in collaboration with NUIM Snooker Club, NUIM Paintball Club and NUIM Gospel Choir on the 20th of February. It was a night filled with fantastic performances by the Gospel Choir and Elvis and Tina Turner impersonators with lots of money raised for a good cause. Of course getting Milieu together was the main focus of this second semester and we have a great mix of articles from first years to lecturers. Thanks to all those who were part of the production of Milieu, either by submitting an article or being on the committee and a special thanks to the Geography Department. But the year is not over yet, as we wait to go to print there are guest lecturers, social nights, another GPS treasure hunt, Clubs and Society’s Awards and the Green Globe Awards to launch Milieu still to come.

CHAPTER 11 The ‘Green Wave’ that Never Happened: The 2007 General Election HENRIKE RAU General elections provide a useful snapshot of public opinion in Ireland. People’s voting patterns tend to reflect their values and attitudes, which both mirror and influence wider social and economic conditions. The general election in June 2007 and its aftermath captured the mood of the Irish electorate at a time when some already predicted that the economic boom of the Celtic Tiger years would come to an abrupt end. Prior to the election, speculation abounded about a radical transformation of the Irish political landscape.

  • Political Journalism Since the Foundation of the State
    Chapter 12 Social media and political communication Martin Molony The election of Barack Obama in 2008 was widely regarded as being an internet election victory. Greengard (2009, 16) described Obama as ‘the first internet president’ and there was widespread agreement amongst political commentators and digital media experts as to ‘how politicians and the public interact [would] never be the same.’ In the days following Obama’s election, The New York Times reflected on the repetition of history in the effective use of a new medium: ‘One of the many ways that the election of Barack Obama as president has echoed that of John F. Kennedy is his use of a new medium that will forever change politics. For Mr Kennedy, it was television. For Mr Obama, it is the internet’ (Miller, 2008). Commentators, such as Huffington Post founder and editor-in-chief, Arianna Huffington (2008) went further and believed that the Obama win was entirely due to his use of the web: ‘Were it not for the Internet, Barack Obama would not be president. Were it not for the Internet, Barack Obama would not have been the nominee.’ But was Obama’s win entirely down to successful use of the internet? Why did he win when, just four years earlier, Howard Dean had failed having used the same approach? One might assume that Barack Obama perfected Dean’s trial use of internet technologies but it is also reasonable to suggest that such electronic communication had come of age and that the electorate was sufficiently comfortable with the technologies to engage with their preferred candidate.

  • Prohibition of Depleted Uranium Weapons Bill 2009: Committee and Remaining Stages Wednesday, 17 November 2010
    Prohibition of Depleted Uranium Weapons Bill 2009: Committee and Remaining Stages Wednesday, 17 November 2010 SECTION 1 An Cathaoirleach: Amendment No. 1 has been ruled out of order on the grounds that it would expand the scope of the Bill. [825]Amendment No. 1 not moved. Senator Dominic Hannigan: I move amendment No. 2: In page 3, subsection (2), line 14, after “Minister” to insert “for Foreign Affairs”. The purpose of the amendment is to insert “for Foreign Affairs” after “Minister” because there is no definition of “Minister” in the Bill. Senator Dan Boyle: I thank the Labour Party Senators for proposing this amendment. I believe it is a drafting improvement and I am quite happy to accept it. Amendment agreed to. Question proposed: “That section 1, as amended, stand part of the Bill.” Senator David Norris: I seek an explanation, although perhaps it will not be possible to provide one. Did I understand the Cathaoirleach to state amendment No. 1 was ruled out of order because it caused a charge on the Exchequer? An Cathaoirleach: No, it was ruled out of order for expanding the scope of the Bill. Senator David Norris: I see. I thank the Cathaoirleach. Question put and agreed to. SECTION 2 An Cathaoirleach: Amendment No. 3 is ruled out of order as it would expand the scope of the Bill. Amendment No. 3 not moved. Question proposed: “That section 2 stand part of the Bill.” Senator David Norris: I do not mean to be pestiferous but how can a deletion expand the scope of a Bill? Surely it would contract it.
