Cork. ii AUTHORS NOTE & ACKNOWLEDGEMENT When the Cork Constitution Club celebrated the centenary of its foundation I had the privilege of writing the history. Now I have been entrusted with updating that chronicle. While obviously the emphasis will be on the events of the last twenty-five years - the most momentous period in the history of rugby union - as a tribute to the founding fathers, the first chapter of the original history will yet again appear. While it would not be practical to include a detailed history of the first 100 years chapter two is a brief resume of the achievements of the first fifty years and likewise chapter three embraces the significant events of the second fifty years in the illustrious history of one of Ireland’s great sporting institutions. There follows the detailed history and achievements, and they were considerable, of the last twenty five years. I owe a considerable debt of gratitude to many people for their help during the compilation of this book. In that regard I would particularly like to thank Noel Walsh, the man with whom I liaised during the writing of the book.

Stephen Weir Institute of Public Administration, Dublin, Ireland Abstract This paper analyses the decision-making processes behind the reform of a policy that had caused significant controversy for over a decade. At 8 p.m. on 21 November 2000 the Minister of State for the Environment, Bobby Molloy, TD, signed S.I. No. 367/2000 – Road Traffic (Public Service Vehicles) (Amendment) (No. 3) into law. This statutory instrument provided ‘for the full resumption of taxi licensing’ and ‘the revocation of regulatory provisions involving quantitative restrictions on the licensing of taxis and hackneys’. With the stroke of a pen, Molloy had effectively ended the taxi licensees’ de facto 21-year control of public service vehicle licensing policy. The paper finds Molloy’s decision to have been a significant policy improvement as it brought about a substantially better taxi service. In addition, the paper shows that even with strong evidence of policy failure, its reform can take a considerable time. With regard to the four-factor framework of institutions, ideology, interests and irrationality, I find that the institutions of the state, while initially facilitating the regulatory capture of the policy by the taxi sector, eventually ensured that this was broken down due to the electoral system and the separation of powers. Up until the reform decision, the interests of the taxi licensees and their political supporters eclipsed the common good.

    ADRIAN RUSSELL Journey, with Extensive Interviews from Those at the Centre of This Piece of Sporting History

    ‘The greatest achievement in GAA history finally gets its due:The Double is a singular triumph.’ Michael Moynihan ‘One of the greatest Irish sporting stories finally gets the brilliant book it deserves.’ Dave Hannigan A county winning both the All-Ireland Senior Football and Hurling Championships in the same year. It was unheard of in modern Gaelic games. Many considered it impossible. Yet, in 1990, Cork achieved just that. The Double: How Cork Made GAA History details this remarkable ADRIAN RUSSELL journey, with extensive interviews from those at the centre of this piece of sporting history. Billy Morgan and Larry Tompkins, among others, recount the footballers’ efforts to keep Kerry down in Munster, as well as their run-ins with bitter rivals Meath. Key members of the hurling panel like Tomás Mulcahy, Mark Foley and coach Gerald McCarthy remember the hurlers’ tumultuous road to success, from their shock 1989 defeat to lowly Waterford up to the classic ‘donkeys don’t win derbies’ Munster final against Tipperary in 1990 and beyond. Full of insight into these remarkable teams, as well as powerful and often humorous anecdotes, The Double captures an unparalleled year of success for Cork GAA. www.mercierpress.ie MERCIER SPORT 1 THE DOUBLE HOW CORK MADE GAA HISTORY ADRIaN RUSSELL PROLOGUE Midway through the second half of the All-Ireland hurling final of 1990, Croke Park took a breath and time slowed down. With Galway already four points ahead of an unfancied Cork side, and Galway’s Martin Naughton barrelling through on goal, a green flag would surely signal the end of the contest.
