  • Annagh 2008.Pdf
    Season’s Greetings s the year draws to a close, we know that the Annagh Magazine will shortly be available. With it will come information on Athe past and the present. Turning the pages of Annagh will give readers a profile of our parish, our parishioners and a pic- ture of the way we live our lives today and the way people have done so in the past. It will speak of things that mean a lot to the people of this parish and to all who have any connection with the parish and for this we thank the editorial committee who have devoted so much time and energy to compiling the magazine. This year we are happy to record that we had a very successful two week parish mission last February. Every house in the parish was visited by a mission team; other teams spent most of the first week in both the Community School and Scoil Iosa and made a big impression on both teachers and students. It was a great experience for the parish and could not have been done without the involvement of the Parish Pastoral Council and so many volunteers. We would like to thank all of those, the people who provided accommodation, who organised catering, who acted as guides and provided transport for visitation. We thank also choirs, Ministers of the Eucharist, Readers, Mass servers, Sacristan for con- tributing to such a memorable occasion. This year we said farewell to Fr. Kieran Burke who left us after five years to take up a new position as Parish Priest of Leenane.

  • Laurence Kelly the Oireachtas
    LAURENCE KELLY THE OIREACHTAS: EXAMINATION OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF TWO COMMITTEES OF THE 27TH DAIL AND THEIR IMPACT ON THE FUNCTIONS OF PARLIAMENT May, 1998 ABSTRACT This dissertation set out to review the array of Oireachtas Select and Joint Committees created at the start of the 27th Dail in 1993 and reestablished following the change of government in 1995 and to explore their impact on the functions of parliament. To begin with, secondary literature relating to tasks associated with parliaments is discussed drawing on Irish experiences and practices where possible. The many debates on Oireachtas reform over the past twenty years are examined, primarily with a view to learning the views of parliamentarians regarding the specific use of committees. A range of factors which it is felt have a critical impact on the operations of parliamentary committees and their members in a number of countries are presented for consideration. An overview of the Oireachtas committees in existence in 1996 illustrating such features as the role of women, payments to chairpersons and extent of membership by deputies and senators is offered. Two case studies relating to the operations of the Select Committee on Legislation and Security and the Joint Committee on Foreign Affairs examine the detailed activities of both these committees for the period 1993 - 1996, highlighting the degree of involvement by members, workload, observations of participants and main players over time, difficulties encountered and a number of observations are presented regarding their operations. The study concludes that the committees offered parliamentarians, government and interest groups a unique opportunity to unleash, enkindle and fuse talents and knowledge from sources hitherto largely removed and uninvolved in detailed public policy formation.

  • Hare Coursing and Fox Hunting, You Are in the Majority of the Electorate
    Dear Voter, Thank you for taking the time to read our "Irish Politicians and Animal Issues" booklet. If you care about animals and are opposed to the cruelty of activities such as hare coursing and fox hunting, you are in the majority of the electorate. Despite most Irish people wanting cruelty ended, some politicians ignore this and shamelessly work to defend those involved in terrorising, injuring and killing wildlife. In the following pages, you will see where politicians stand. If TDs in your constituency have spoken in favour of cruelty in the past, please contact them now. Encourage them to respect the wishes of the majority and reconsider their stance. How you and your family vote in the next election will help determine if Ireland's next government is one which chooses to protect animals or protect animal abusers. Before you cast your vote, consider the views of each of the candidates. If particular candidates are not included in this booklet, question them directly. We also recommend watching our "Politicians" playlist at www.youtube.com/icabs We believe that Ireland will only ever achieve true greatness, when foxhunting, hare coursing and all forms of cruelty are permanently abolished here. On election day, please choose compassion over cruelty. Thank you.
