KASPress Ireland 24.06.16 – 30.06.16 Welcome to KASPress Ireland, our weekly summary of relevant and interesting news from the Irish press. Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung News Summary London Office Top Story Minister for Foreign Affairs Charlie Flanagan has ruled out a Border poll following the Brexit referendum. He told the Seanad that although he understood the motivations of those who called for a referendum, for such a poll to be held, the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland must determine that a majority of the electorate would opt for a united Ireland. At present, there was no evidence to suggest that would be the case. To read more on this story, click here. Politics Taoiseach Enda Kenny has landed himself in a Brexit row after telling EU leaders that Scotland shouldn't be "dragged out" of the European Union. Mr Kenny made the unprecedented intervention in front of British Prime Minister David Cameron at the European Council "on behalf" of Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon. To read more on this story, click here. Brexit will not affect Budget 2017 but its longer term effects on Ireland could be serious depending on what deal the UK agrees with the EU, Minister for Finance Michael Noonan has said. To read more on this story, click here. Enda Kenny yesterday clashed with members of the Independent Alliance, who are demanding a free vote on a bill that allows for terminations in cases of fatal foetal abnormality. The Taoiseach was forced to adjourn yesterday's Cabinet meeting without agreement after ministers Shane Ross and Finian McGrath had insisted that TDs should be allowed to vote with their consciences.

People are moving across borders in an unprecedented way. There are a number of factors contributing to this widespread movement. First, travel has become less of a burden and less of an expense. In addition, the world is tied together economically as globalization becomes more widespread. The United States and western EU affiliated countries are mainly on the receiving end of this mass migration; the United States has been experiencing this immigration for decades however, many European countries are experiencing heavy immigration for the first time.

10Th Annual Report, 2005
BRITISH-IRISH INTER-PARLIAMENTARY BODY COMHLACHT IDIR-PHARLAIMINTEACH NA BREATAINE AGUS NA hÉIREANN TENTH ANNUAL REPORT No. 118 — March 2005 THE WORK OF THE BRITISH-IRISH INTER-PARLIAMENTARY BODY Introduction 1. This is the Tenth Annual Report of the Body since it was decided at the 11th Plenary Session in May 1996 that such a Report should be made. This Report summarises the work of the Body during 2005. Membership of the Body 2. The General Election in the United Kingdom in May resulted in a number of changes to the British delegation, the most significant of which was the replacement of Mr David Winnick, MP as Co-Chair by Mr Paul Murphy, MP. Mr Winnick had announced at the Bundoran Plenary session that he would leave the Body, although he was not standing down from the House of Commons. Lord Dubs replaced Mr Kevin McNamara (who left the House of Commons) on the Steering Committee. Mr John Hume of the SDLP also retired from the Commons at the General Election and his presence is much missed. Other notable departures were those of Mr Harry Barnes and Mr William O'Brien. The other changes to the British Delegation can be found in Appendix 1. Hon Tony Brown MHK succeeded Mr Donald Gelling, who has again become Chief Minister of the Isle of Man. The Body expressed its congratulations to Mr Gelling. Political Developments 3. The Northern Ireland Executive and Assembly remained suspended throughout 2005. During the year, the two Governments continued their efforts to move the process forward and to restore the devolved power- sharing institutions.

Presentation to Oireachtas Finance Committee by Brian Hayes MEP - Thursday 26Th April 2018
Presentation to Oireachtas Finance Committee by Brian Hayes MEP - Thursday 26th April 2018. Thank you Chairman, members of the Finance Committee for today’s engagement with the Irish MEPs. For my part, as a full member of ECOM - I’m glad to have the opportunity. Can I also put on the record my thanks to you Chairman in working with me to encourage the President of the ECB, Mario Draghi to attend this Committee. I very much hope that happens soon. I also welcome your recent invitation to the Chair of the SSM, Danièle Nouy, to speak before your Committee. Frequently in Ireland we fail to appreciate the fundamental new role and new powers that exist for the ECB/SSM. Dealing with the 253 biggest banks in Europe - 4 of which are here in Ireland - the landscape from a regulatory and supervisory position has radically altered in recent years. That’s why it’s important that EU institutions are held accountable not just in the European Parliament, but also to member state parliaments. I believe that the new EU-wide financial supervisory architecture - although not perfect - has helped to highlight the importance of the risk-based model. We live in an interconnected financial system. We live in a single monetary area. Reducing market fragmentation and reducing systemic threats to our economy represent, for me at least, the new gold standard that we must attain. This is especially so in a small country that can be exposed, as we know all too painfully, to international shocks and also exposed because of its business model.

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.
