  • The Jim Kemmy Papers P5
    The Jim Kemmy Papers P5 University of Limerick Library and Information Services University of Limerick Special Collections The Jim Kemmy Papers Reference Code: IE 2135 P5 Title: The Jim Kemmy Papers Dates of Creation: 1863-1998 (predominantly 1962-1997) Level of Description: Fonds Extent and Medium: 73 boxes (857 folders) CONTEXT Name of Creator: Kemmy, Seamus (Jim) (1936-1997) Biographical History: Seamus Kemmy, better known as Jim Kemmy, was born in Limerick on 14 September, 1936, as the eldest of five children to Elizabeth Pilkington and stonemason Michael Kemmy. He was educated at the Christian Brothers’ primary school in Sexton Street and in 1952 followed his father into the Ancient Guild of Incorporated Brick and Stonelayers’ Trade Union to commence his five-year apprenticeship. When his father died of tuberculosis in 1955, the responsibility of providing for the family fell onto Kemmy’s shoulders. Having qualified as a stonemason in 1957, he emigrated to England in the hope of a better income. The different social conditions and the freedom of thought and expression he encountered there challenged and changed his traditional Catholic values and opened his eyes to the issues of social injustice and inequality, which he was to stand up against for the rest of his life. In 1960, encouraged by the building boom, Kemmy returned to Ireland and found work on construction sites at Shannon. He also became involved in the Brick and Stonelayers’ Trade Union, and was elected Branch Secretary in 1962. A year later, he joined the Labour Party. Kemmy harboured no electoral ambitions during his early years in politics.

  • Final DBL Text
    38 Days of blue loyalty internally and was in a weak position in the party system. Even his most dogged critics within the party invariably paid tribute to his integrity and decency, and most of them acknowledged that, however much responsibility Bruton bore for the party’s uninspiring record during the 1990s, many other factors had also played a part. Bruton’s defenders argued that the heave against him epitomised the way the political process was becoming trivialised, with integrity seen as only a minor counterbalance to the apparently more important factor of a dis- appointing opinion poll result. Those outside the party, and some within it, also pointed to a patchy performance by the party’s spokespersons on various policy areas. Any realistic evaluation of Bruton’s leadership has to take full account of the difficulty of making an impact as the leader of a party in opposition, at a time when there was little to choose between the policies of the various alternative governments and when the country was enjoying unprecedented levels of eco- nomic growth. He was party leader for over 10 years, which is by no means a bad tenure given the demands on politicians. If he was not able to inspire very much enthusiasm among the electorate, or transform the fortunes of his party, it has to be acknowledged that he is not the only party leader about whom this has been said. Once Bruton had lost the confidence motion, the race began for the vote to fill the vacancy. The bookmakers offered prices about eight possible runners, but the odds for Michael Noonan (5 to 2 on) made it clear that the race was not per- ceived as wide open.

    Established 1967 www.lucannewsletter.ie Sub. 80c Sunday 9th June 2019 Our legacy……. The image shows children running through a buttercup meadow – a natural playground, or is it? The scene is in one of our parklands where wild flowers and grasses have been planted giving us a taste of what life was like in Lucan a couple of generations back. Many of us enjoyed a childhood of running through the fields, that are now housing estates – such is progress!!! But isn’t it sad to think what the collective “we” have done in our time on this earth. There was a time when the term “Climate Change” was very far removed from us ordinary people, but now we find it is in our faces, and “we” unwittingly have played our part. Suddenly, we’re all sitting up and taking notice – the Bloom gardens this year focused heavily on climate change, on both land and sea, we saw wildflower gardens, and pollution from our coasts. Pollination is big on the agenda now when it comes to our planting. The UCD garden showed how our diet has changed over the centuries. Not that we want to go back to nettles and the likes, but we do need to take stock of what we are consuming these days. Who remembers bringing back mineral bottles to the shops for a penny, or leaving out empty milk bottles for the milkman; pre-plastic days when your lunch was wrapped in paper, within a paper bag; terry nappies; food not wanted was placed in a pot to be collected for feeding pigs – ‘slop’ was the term we had for it – yes, this was in Lucan! Bad planning all over the country has played an immense part; our transport system leaves a lot to be desired.

  • Understanding the Changes to Irish Social Partnership Policy (2008-11) Using a Discursive Institutionalist Approach
    Understanding the changes to Irish social partnership policy (2008-11) using a discursive institutionalist approach John Hogan, Nicola Timoney, College of Business, College of Business, Dublin Institute of Technology, Dublin Institute of Technology, Aungier Street, Aungier Street, Dublin 2 Dublin 2 Ireland Ireland Email: [email protected] Email: [email protected] Website: www.johnhogan.net ABSTRACT Employing the critical juncture theory (CJT), a discursive institutionalist approach, this paper examines the nature of the changes to Irish social partnership policy at the end of the decade of the 2000s. Did these policy changes constitute a transformation in social partnership policy, or were they simply a continuation of a previously established policy pathway? The CJT consists of three elements – economic crisis, ideational change, and the nature of the policy change – that must be identified for us to be able to declare with some certainty if the changes to social partnership policy constituted a critical juncture. Our findings will help explain why Irish social partnership policy underwent a radical transformation at this time. Keywords: Crisis; critical juncture; ideas; social partnership; policy.

The Irish economy, after years of economic stagnation during the 1980s, performed exceptionally well in the following decades, particularly during the period 1997-2007, what Timoney (2010) refers to as the peak of the Celtic Tiger. However, this period of unprecedented economic expansion came to a jarring halt in 2008, leading to questioning of many of the policies in place during the Celtic Tiger, including the extant approach to social partnership.
