Prof. Fitzgerald and his colleagues have again created a remarkable resource for all those who work with Children and Families in a time of need. This volume plots the history and development of Child Psychiatry services in the Eastern Region and chronicles our increasing understanding of mental health issues within Families. It brings into clear focus the contemporary concerns and the expert responses of service providers today. I am pleased to note that many of the contributors to this volume have had a significant role in advancing our understanding of conditions including Asperger’s syndrome, Autism, and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Our knowledge of these conditions has grown enormously since the Irish Families Under Stress series began 20 years ago. Irish society has changed radically in the past decade and while much has improved in terms of economic success, increasing demands, urgency and new stresses have been visited upon many Irish Families. Irish Families Under Stress affords a comprehensive view of the pertinent issues and succeeds in providing an insight into the most important challenges facing Irish Families and Healthcare Professionals today. This volume maintains the important balance between in-depth knowledge and accessibility, it is written in an open an inviting style without losing any of its academic credibility. I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate all the contributors for their work and to thank Prof. Fitzgerald for bringing this extraordinary collection together in one final volume.

Soc. Sc., CQSW. The following history has been compiled with the help of a number of people who are, or who have been, linked to the development of the Child Psychiatric Service in Ireland. I am most grateful for the interest they showed when I approached them for information and the time they gave to setting down their recollections of the early days of child guidance, as it was then called. The focus of this chapter is on the early days of the Child Psychiatric Service in Ireland and does not take into account the significant developments which took place from the early 1990s by which time all the health boards had established specialist Departments of Child and Family Psychiatry. For that reason, the chapter makes only a brief reference to the developments which took place after 1990. Introduction Social work as a profession emerged primarily from voluntary philanthropic practices, carried out mainly by women, in the late 19th century. In understanding the history of social work,

    3rd PID FORUM on National Plans for Rare Diseases: Centres of reference and patients’ registries Hosted by Mrs. Nessa Childers MEP, 26 September 2012 Report INTERNATIONAL PATIENT ORGANISATION FOR PRIMARY IMMUNODEFICIENCIES IPOPI is a charity registered in the UK. Registration No. 1058005. Firside, Main Road, Downderry, PL11 3LE, United Kingdom. Executive Office: Tel/Fax (+351) 21 407 5720 e-mail: [email protected] website: ww.ipopi.org Recommendations 1. Member States should fully develop their national plans/strategies by the end of 2013, and ensure that patients with rare diseases have access to high-quality care. 2. It is not sufficient to adopt a national plan: the adoption must be fully implemented and the plan should have access to sufficient funding to develop the envisioned activities. 3. Patients should be consulted and taken into consideration whenever Member States or the European Union develop policies that may affect their lives. 4. The heterogeneity between national plans demonstrates the need for the EU to play a coordinating role and tackle inequalities in the access to treatment across the Union. 5. Policymakers should ensure that national plans/strategies fully comply with the Council Recommendations, especially when supporting the creation or development of centres of reference and patient registries. 6. Patient registries and national centres of reference should be included when Member States are developing their National Plans for Rare Diseases to encourage research and improve diagnosis and information to patients. 7. PIDs are an important group of rare diseases and as such should be taken into consideration by national policy makers when developing the national plans for rare diseases.

  • 29 Members of European Parliament Call for Support for the European Citizens Initiative for Unconditional Basic Income!
    Dec 03, 2013 10:37 GMT 29 Members of European Parliament call for support for the European Citizens Initiative for Unconditional Basic Income! PRESS RELEASE 29 Members of European Parliament call for support for the European Citizens Initiative for Unconditional Basic Income! Twenty-nine Members of the European Parliament from twelve countries have issued a joint statement expressing their support for the European Citizens’ Initiative (ECI) for Unconditional Basic Income. This calls upon the European Commission to assess the idea of reforming current national social security arrangements towards an unconditional basic income (UBI). UBI is a regular, universal payment to everyone without means-testing or work conditions. It should be high enough to guarantee everyone a dignified existence. It would let people make choices about what to do in life without fear of poverty. It would act as a cushion for the increasing numbers of people who have short-term or zero-hour contracts, and those starting up their own businesses. Many financing schemes have been elaborated over the years in several countries. The European Initiative for UBI demands further studies to be started at the EU level. The MEPs ask all Europeans to support this initiative. All EU citizens eligible to vote can support this ECI either via the internet (http://sign.basicincome2013.eu) or on paper. One million signatures are needed by 14 January 2014 to make sure it lands on the EC’s desk. The current social security systems are demeaning and inadequate in addressing the roots of poverty, the MEPs emphasize. "Unconditional Basic Income would transform social security from a compensatory system into an emancipatory system, one that trusts people to make their own decisions, and does not stigmatise them for their circumstances," the statement says.

As a result of Brexit, the European Parliament was reorganised and the number of MEPs was reduced from 751 to 705. The twenty-seven remaining UK seats were reallocated to other member states. Ireland received an additional two seats, bringing the country’s total number of seats up to thirteen. The same constituencies as in 2014 were used with only minor border changes. Two constituencies received an additional MEP. Dublin moved from a three-seat to a four-seat constituency while Ireland South went from a four- to a five-seat constituency. The Midlands North-West constituency stayed the same with four seats. Given that the UK had not actually left the EU when the elections were held, the two additional MEPs were ineligible to take their seats until the UK had officially left the EU. In order to be eligible to compete in European elections, a prospective candidate must fulfil one of the following criteria: be nominated by a registered political party; have declarations from sixty people willing to support their candidacy; or pay a deposit of €1,800. These requirements are deemed relatively simple to meet and as such helped contribute towards a record number of candidates running for MEP in the state.
