  • 1 Independent Newspapers and Irish Society, 1973-98 Mark O'brien Writing in 1889 the Legendary Nationalist MP and Newspaper Ed
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by DCU Online Research Access Service 1 Independent Newspapers and Irish society, 1973-98 Mark O’Brien Writing in 1889 the legendary nationalist MP and newspaper editor, T.P. O’Connor took a side-swipe at those publications that proclaimed their independence of all political and business interests. He declared that he liked ‘an “independent” journal as little as the politician who assumes to himself the same adjective’. In his long experience of newspapers and politics, he had, he declared, ultimately found that ‘independence’ was simply ‘a euphemism for personal vanity, personal interest, or mere crankiness of temper and opinion’.1 As we have seen in chapter two, despite its declaration that ‘The extravagances of partisanship will be unknown in the Irish Independent’, William Martin Murphy was not shy in using the Irish Independent to defend his commercial interests during the Great Lockout of 1913.2 Similarly, the Irish Press, although declaring that it would not be ‘the organ of an individual, or a group or a party’, was the political organ of Eamon de Valera and, to a lesser extent, Fianna Fáil.3 In contrast, the Irish Times was upfront about where it stood: its first edition had declared ‘As Irishmen we shall think and speak; but it shall be as Irishmen loyal to the British connection...’4 As Ireland modernised in the 1960s and as RTÉ began television broadcasting that was, by statute, obliged to be fair and impartial in relation to news and current affairs, the role of the newspaper as an advocate or defender of its owner’s political or commercial interests became outdated.

It highlights the level of division that existed at that time on issues related to the communiqué and Northern Ireland generally between the government parties, Fine Gael and Labour, and Fianna Fáil. It demonstrates the limited nature of bipartisanship towards North- ern Ireland at that time despite statements to the contrary.

  • 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.

  • "The Development of Universal Telephone Service in Ireland 1880 - 1993"
    "The Development of Universal Telephone Service in Ireland 1880 - 1993" Submission for Doctor of Arts by Roddy Flynn B.A., M.A. Dublin City University School of Communications Supervisor: Dr. Paschal Preston January 1998 Declaration I hereby certify that this material, which I now submit for assessment on the programme of study leading to the award of Doctor of Arts is entirely my own work and has not been taken from the work of others save to the extent that such work has been cited and acknowledged within the text of my work. Signed: ID No: 92700811 Date: Abstract This research examines the development of universal service in Ireland over the period from 1880 to 1993. Universal service is a key element of telecommunications policy. Its precise meaning is the subject of dispute between differing political outlooks buts its objectives are essentially understood as socially-oriented, promoting the diffusion of telecommunications technologies beyond that achieved by the market, and facilitating access to those same technologies at affordable rates. Differences over the precise meaning of universal service are also the result of the long history of universal service. Although the term itself is a twentieth century one, it has been argued that its fundamental tenets are embodied in particular policy objectives and in particular the long established concept of public service. Thus this research has examined the history o f the concept in Ireland over t he period o f a century with a view to understanding how the current working definition o f universal service has been arrived at. The research looks in depth at the development and diffusion of the telephone across Ireland.
