BOOKING NOW ON www.asiabusinessweek.ie Ireland Asia Business Yearbook 2014 3 IAYB_page02-03.indd 3 01/05/2014 17:45 FOREWORD CONTINUING connections THE implications for Ireland of Asia’s rapid transformation and development are profound. Countries across Asia are home to the majority of the world’s population and economic output, and are increasingly influential global actors. The Government is committed to broadening and deepening Ireland’s relationships with these countries in order to increase trade, investment, education and cultural links with Asia. Since taking office in 2011, the Government has actively engaged in building relationships at the highest political level in Asia, through ministerial and other high level visits and meetings. These visits raise Ireland’s profile. We use them to highlight our strengths as a location for business and investment and to promote Ireland as a destination for education and tourism. I visited Japan in December 2013, accompanied by a trade delegation, and signed a joint declaration on wide ranging bilateral co-operation. My visit to China in 2012 launched a first bilateral strategic partnership agreement. Ten ministers have visited China since then. During the 2014 St Patrick’s Day period, Government ministers visited six Asian countries. The importance of Asia for Ireland is reflected in the Government’s decision in January 2014 to open three new diplomatic missions in the region. New embassies in Thailand and Indonesia and a consulate general in Hong Kong add to existing missions in Japan, Korea, China, Singapore, Malaysia, India and Vietnam. The State agencies have offices and agents across the region, and are strengthening their operations in areas of greatest potential return. As a small open economy, exports are key to Ireland’s economic recovery. Total exports of goods and services to Asia from Ireland in 2012 exceeded €15bn. Asian countries are increasingly important markets for Irish companies. The Government is working hard to increase opportunities and open doors for Irish business. Success in Asia requires long-term commitment, and developing relationships that match our strengths with Asia’s requirements. I look forward to continuing this work throughout 2014 and beyond.

  • The Totality of UK-Irish Relations Is at Risk Because of Brexit Page 1 of 4
    LSE Brexit: The totality of UK-Irish relations is at risk because of Brexit Page 1 of 4 The totality of UK-Irish relations is at risk because of Brexit The European Union was a crucial element of the totality of UK-Irish relationships that would allow for the 1998 Good Friday Agreement, writes Darren Litter (Queen’s University Belfast). The UK and Ireland’s historic achievement of the 1998 Good Friday Agreement (GFA) is most synonymous with the inter-prime ministerial partnership of Tony Blair and Bertie Ahern. More than any of their predecessors, Blair and Ahern got on together, shared a common understanding of the ‘Northern Ireland problem’, and were determined to approach this issue in the fully intergovernmental spirit envisaged originally by the 1985 Anglo-Irish Agreement (AIA). However – while indispensable to the efficiency and effectiveness with which the GFA was achieved – this emphasis on the Blair-Ahern partnership serves to take away from the importance of the wider totality of UK-Irish relationships – principally in the EU context – that was no longer a matter of rhetoric by the mid-1990s. This, as we shall see, contrasts with the post-Brexit state of play, where the totality of UK-Irish relations has again taken on the much less resonant meaning from when it was first introduced into the Anglo-Irish discourse at the height of the Northern Ireland conflict.

  • Why Asia Matters for Ireland
    INTRODUCTION focus on the western Anglophone world has served Ireland well Why Asia Matters to date but the new reality of change demands a paradigm shift in mindset. China alone is targeting $750 billion in outbound FDI by the conclusion of the current five year plan in 2020. In this context, for Ireland there is an urgent need for a heightened focus on opportunities in Asia, which accounts for 40% of global GDP and over 60% of global Alan Dukes, Chairman Asia Matters consumers who need top quality products and services. Ireland must seek increased opportunities to play an increasing role in this huge and diverse market. I would like to pay tribute to the late Dr. TK Whitaker, former Secretary General of the Department of Finance and Governor of the Central Bank, who recently passed away at the age of 100. From the late 1950s he played a pivotal role in the economic development of modern Ireland, not least by bringing about the kind of paradigm shift in economic and trade policy that we need By Alan Dukes to repeat today. Dr. Whitaker encouraged us to look beyond our shores for the economic prosperity we desired as a nation. Ireland has achieved enormous success in business partnership with the western Anglophone world. The challenge before us is to communicate the Ireland proposition and establish strong relationships in a new way that resonates as successfully within key Volatility in global markets is the new business markets in Asia. normal.

  • Monuments to British Monarchs in Dublin Before and After Independence
    Journal of Historical Geography, 28, 4 (2002) 508±533 doi:10.1006/jhge.2002.0441, available online at http://www.idealibrary.com on The construction and destruction of a colonial landscape: monuments to British monarchs in Dublin before and after independence Y. Whelan Where cities evolve in contentious political circumstances and make the transition from a colonial to a post-colonial state, aspects of the urban landscape such as public monuments, street nomenclature, buildings, city plans and urban design initiatives take on particular signi®cance. Collectively they demonstrate the fact that the city is the product of a struggle among con¯icting interest groups in search of dominion over an environment. As one group seeks dominance over the other the urban landscape often becomes the canvas upon which this power struggle ®nds expression. Public statues in particular serve as an important source for unravelling the geographies of broader political and cultural shifts. These issues are explored here with reference to Dublin City and the monuments erected to royal monarchs before the achievement of political independence in 1922, namely Kings William I (1701), George I (1722), George II (1758) and Queen Victoria (1908). The fate of such monuments in post-colonial Dublin and the ways in which the ¯edgling state and particular groups within it sought to express their new found power through both the of®cial and oftentimes wilful destruction of these royal statues is then examined. The paper illuminates the power of public monuments as symbolic sites of meaning and explores their role in the construction of a landscape of colonial power.

Deputy Billy Kelleher asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport his plans for taxi branding; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [57207/12] 20/12/2012WRA00400Minister of State at the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport (Deputy Alan Kelly): The National Transport Authority (NTA) has responsibility for the regulation of the taxi industry under the Taxi Regulation Act, 2003, and is also the lead agency with responsibility for implementation of the recommendations of the Taxi Regulation Review Report 2011, including the implementation of the taxi “branding” as set out in that Report. Action 31 of the Taxi Regulation Review Report in 2011 proposed the introduction of a dis- tinctive branding on taxis and wheelchair accessible taxis by means of a semi-permanent decal to be applied to the doors on either side of the vehicle, incorporating the umbrella ‘Transport for Ireland’ design. The aim of the branding is to provide greater recognition of taxis, promote greater professionalism of the industry and to reduce the potential for unlicensed vehicles to operate as taxis. The taxi door branding will be a requirement for vehicles from January 1st 2013 in order to renew a vehicle licence or change a vehicle on a licence. The details of authorised suppliers of the signage can be found on the NTA website.

  • Do Support Parties Extract More Policy
    “Do Support Parties Extract More Policy Benefits Then Typical Opposition Parties Under Minority Governments?” by Alice Sheridan Bachelor of Arts in Politics and Public Administration 1 A Final Year Project Presented by Alice Sheridan 15147746 to The Department of Politics and Public Administration in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Arts in Politics and Public Administration Internal Supervisor: Dr. Rory Costello External Examiner: Prof. Samuel Brazys Date: 28th of February 2019 2 Abstract: While many perceive minority governments as inherently unstable and ineffective, research has proven this to be false. However, the success of such governments lies in their ability to forge deals with opposition parties to ensure a legislative majority to implement policy. While some minority governments secure support on an ad hoc basis, others form support arrangements with opposition parties. This allows opposition parties to gain influence on policy, a frequent criticism of minority governments. This research paper adds to a growing body of literature on minority governments performance fulfilling election pledges. The aim is to investigate the effect an expressed confidence and supply agreement has on the rate of pledge fulfilment and analyse opposition party’s fulfilment rate compared to those that go on and form support arrangements with minority governments. Research conducted elsewhere in Europe has found that support parties under minority governments have fulfilled a higher rate of election pledges when compared to typical opposition parties. However, an expressed confidence and supply agreement has never been seen before in Irish politics. By studying the fulfilment of election pledges found in the four largest political parties currently sitting in Dáil Éireann, this project aims to answer if Fianna Fáil have extracted more policy benefits then other opposition parties.

After his family moved to Dublin he went on to study in University College Dublin, where he was awarded the Pierce Malone Scholarship. Once qualified as an engineer, Dooge worked firstly with the Office of Public Works and then, in 1946, with the Electricity Supply Board. A period of study at the University of Iowa in the mid-1950s led to an MA.
