  • Cronk Keeill Abban (Old Tynwald Site)
    Access Guide to Cronk Keeill Abban (Old Tynwald Site) Manx National Heritage has the guardianship of many ancient monuments in the landscape. A number of these sites are publicly accessible. Please note in most circumstances the land is not in the ownership of Manx National Heritage and visits are made at your own risk. We recognise that visiting the Island’s ancient monuments in the countryside can present difficulties for people with disabilities. We have prepared an access guide for visiting Cronk Keeill Abban (Old Tynwald Site) to help you plan your visit. This access guide does not contain personal opinions as to suitability for those with access needs, but aims to accurately describe the environment at the site. Introduction Cronk Keeill Abban in Braddan is the site of an Early Christian Keeill and was a former Viking assembly site. It is one of four historically recorded assembly sites in the Isle of Man – the others being Tynwald Hill, Castle Rushen and another in Kirk Michael. The earliest written reference to this being a Tynwald site dates from 1429. At this Tynwald sitting the record states that ‘trial by combat’ was abolished. The word Tynwald comes from the Norse thingvollr, meaning place of the parliament or assembly field. The annual meeting held at Tynwald Hill in St John’s would have been the “all-Island” meeting – smaller local groups would have met elsewhere throughout the year. The exact location of the assembly site is not clear, and the present circular dry stone enclosure was constructed in 1929 to commemorate its existence.

  • Notes on Parliaments Visited
    3 Notes on parliaments visited Parliaments studied 3.1 This chapter provides a brief overview of the parliaments studied during the program in order to provide a context for the observations in Chapter 2. The notes are from the perspective of the committee’s interests and do not attempt to provide an overview of the parliaments themselves. There is obviously much more that could be said about each of the parliaments visited, but such comments would not reflect the experience provided by the study program. 3.2 As noted in paragraph 1.6 above, the committee was able to visit, observe and have discussions at the House of Commons and House of Lords in London, the Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh, the Tynwald in Douglas, (Isle of Man), the National Assembly for Wales in Cardiff and the French National Assembly in Paris. The notes on these assemblies reflect information provided during discussions as well as documents provided by our hosts. 3.3 Three main factors influenced the decision to visit the four parliaments in the United Kingdom and one in France: a desire to compare practices and procedures with other parliaments sharing Westminster origins (The House of Commons, House of Lords, Scottish Parliament and National Assembly for Wales); an interest in learning how quite different parliamentary traditions address issues relevant to all legislatures, including scrutinising the Executive, use of parliamentary committees, communicating with the 34 STUDY PROGRAM 2006 public, procedures for conducting formal votes, how parliaments adapt themselves to societal changes (the Tynwald and the French National Assembly in addition to the parliaments in Britain); and time constraints imposed by the need to slot the visit into part of the Easter break (returning in time for the Budget sittings) and the sitting patterns of other parliaments.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In its capacity as the Secretariat for the CPA British Islands and Mediterranean Region, CPA UK organised an Election Observer Mission to Montserrat for its General Election in September 2014. The election resulted in the Montserrat Legislative Assembly altering its composition to include six new MLAs out of a total of nine. CPA BIMR offered to continue its engagement with the Montserrat Legislative Assembly to strengthen the capacity of these newer parliamentarians and bring them up to speed with their more experienced and established colleagues. Between the 14 and 15 January 2015, CPA BIMR organised a Post-Election Seminar in Montserrat. The Seminar was arranged with the support of the Legislative Assembly, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, the Government of Montserrat and the Governor’s Office. The Seminar comprised of a number of roundtable sessions covering various topics related to the role of parliamentarians. These topics were selected to meet the specific needs of legislators in Montserrat and complement the induction work already organised. There were also a number of interactive sessions on communication skills. The format of the programme was intended to be as dynamic and flexible as possible. 2. AIM & OBJECTIVES Aim The aim of the Post-Election Seminar was to strengthen the knowledge, skills and confidence of the newly elected Members of the Montserrat Legislative Assembly through sharing best practice with experienced Commonwealth Parliamentarians.

And though the Irish experience of parliamentary politics is not without its shortcomings, there are not many contemporary states within Europe or indeed globally that can attest to ten decades of unbroken parliamentary government from the early twentieth century to the present. In this forum piece we survey the principal changes to the structure, operation and character of the Oireachtas and Irish parliamentary politics since the First Dáil met in the turbulent post- WWI period. In a final section we look to the future of Irish parliament. 1 We are grateful to John Coakley for his comments on an earlier draft of this paper. 49 03 Finnegan McCarthy article.qxp_Admin 66-4 17/12/2018 11:39 Page 50 50 PETER FINNEGAN AND MUIRIS MACCARTHAIGH The emergence and design of the Oireachtas The sitting of the First Dáil in 1919 was a vital element of a wider nationalist effort to introduce an alternative system of government to the incumbent British one which had operated with increasing ineffectiveness from Dublin Castle and London.
