  • Potential Outcomes for the 2007 and 2011 Irish Elections Under a Different Electoral System
    Publicpolicy.ie Potential Outcomes for the 2007 and 2011 Irish elections under a different electoral system. A Submission to the Convention on the Constitution. Dr Adrian Kavanagh & Noel Whelan 1 Forward Publicpolicy.ie is an independent body that seeks to make it as easy as possible for interested citizens to understand the choices involved in addressing public policy issues and their implications. Our purpose is to carry out independent research to inform public policy choices, to communicate the results of that research effectively and to stimulate constructive discussion among policy makers, civil society and the general public. In that context we asked Dr Adrian Kavanagh and Noel Whelan to undertake this study of the possible outcomes of the 2007 and 2011 Irish Dail elections if those elections had been run under a different electoral system. We are conscious that this study is being published at a time of much media and academic comment about the need for political reform in Ireland and in particular for reform of the electoral system. While this debate is not new, it has developed a greater intensity in the recent years of political and economic volatility and in a context where many assess the weaknesses in our political system and our electoral system in particular as having contributed to our current crisis. Our wish is that this study will bring an important additional dimension to discussion of our electoral system and of potential alternatives. We hope it will enable members of the Convention on the Constitution and those participating in the wider debate to have a clearer picture of the potential impact which various systems might have on the shape of the Irish party system, the proportionality of representation, the stability of governments and the scale of swings between elections.

  • Green Party Convention 13-14 July
    LEADING THE CHANGE 2019 BLACKHALL PLACE GREEN PARTY12 - 15 JULYCONVENTION 13-142019 JULY WELCOME TO STONEYBATTER! FÁILTE GO BÓTHAR NA GCLOCH! Welcome to Dublin Central! It is 1,200 years since the Vikings first stepped ashore from their longboats onto the muddy northern shores of the River Liffey; just down the road from where we’re holding our Convention. Dublin 7 has long been known for cattle-dealing and glass- making, and in recent years has become a creative hub with cultural and food businesses attracted to the area. You’ll be able to savour hand-made ice-cream from Christiano in Sorrento’s chipper, or a flat white from Love Supreme. The Lilliput Press is just around the corner off Arbour Place, and Bí Urban is an amazing studio for social creativity on Manor Street. The National Museum at Collins Barracks is nearby, as are the graves of the 1916 leaders. In 1997 I ran in the General Election here before being elected in 2002 in Dún Laoghaire. Cllr. Neasa Hourigan now represents Cabra and Glasnevin just up the road, and is our candidate for the next General Election. Cllr. Michael Pidgeon’s ward is a stone’s throw away across the river. As a councillor here for the last five years I have focussed on making the city easier to get around, tackling disadvantage, and the housing crisis. Recently the City Council has upgraded older persons’ housing at St. Bricin’s off Arbour Hill to a Passive House standard. Plans for the Liffey Cycle route are in the pipeline, as are proposals to regenerate the nearby Fruit and Vegetable Markets.

  • Local News Update
    Kevin Humphreys TD LOCAL NEWS UPDATE Working with Cllr. Dermot Lacey DODDER FLOOD RELIEF WORKS The long sought after Dodder Flood Relief works took an important step forward when at their July meeting the City Council adopted the proposals to continue the measures all the way from Ballsbridge to Clonskeagh Bridge. This was proposed by the Labour Group Leader Dermot Lacey. Councillor Dermot Lacey and Deputy Kevin Humphreys have championed these measures with Kevin pursuing the funding in the Dáil and Dermot pressing for the Plan to be agreed at Council level. The simple truth is that the people who live along the Dodder have been denied a safe environment for too long – that is now about to be changed. Working together and with the different Residents Associations along the Dodder and other Public Representatives, Dermot and Kevin have secured a scheme that provides direct flood alleviation, protects the environment of the Dodder and its built heritage. This includes raising the wall with stone and glass panels along Beatty Avenue and Dodder View Cottages, wall strengthening and raising of same along the Anglesea Road stretch and with a new raised seating area along Herbert Park. From Donnybrook Bridge to Clonskeagh there will be a mixture of new walls and protective higher embankments. A core principle of the scheme is to enable the eventual creation of a linear walkway the entire length of the River. Work will commence immediately and is expected to be completed by the middle of 2015. Delivering this long awaited scheme is an example of what Politicians can do through Cllr Dermot Lacey and Deputy Kevin Humphreys working together and working with communities.
