[7751/15] 24/02/2015WRA00800Minister for Children and Youth Affairs (Deputy James Reilly): I am aware of the rela- tively high cost to parents of child care in this country and of the difficulties that this presents, particularly where both parents are in employment outside of the home. The figures produced by the CSO indicate that child care fees generally across the country increased by 2.4% in 2014. To help address child care costs, in the region of €260 million is provided annually by my Department to support a number of child care programmes. These programmes are in addition to the support provided to all parents in the form of Child Benefit. The objective of the investment by my Department is to assist parents in accessing quality and affordable child care. More than 100,000 children benefit from this investment each year. These programmes include the free pre-school year provided under the Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) programme.

  • 00 Irgov.Qxd
    01-03 IrGov:01-03 IrGov.qxd 25/06/2009 09:28 Page 1 1 THE GOVERNMENT AND THE TAOISEACH Structure and Scope of the Government The Constitution acknowledges that all powers of government derive, under God, from the people, whose right it is to designate the rulers of the state; that the state is to be governed in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution; that the executive power of the state is exercised by or on the authority of the government; and that the government is responsible to the Dáil. The government consists of not less than seven and not more than fifteen members. It is frequently referred to as the cabinet, though this term does not appear in the Constitution. The members are selected by the Taoiseach, and in the case of a coalition government by agreement between the leaders of the parties involved, and appointed by the President. No specific qualifications, beyond membership of the Oireachtas, are prescribed for membership of the government, but it is generally accepted that, in the selection of ministers, considerations of general ability, suitability for particular portfolios, personal popularity, service to or standing in the party and geographical location are matters taken into account. The Taoiseach may request a minister to resign, and if he or she refuses to do so, the President, on the advice of the Taoiseach, must terminate the minister’s appointment. The government meets and acts as a collective authority and is collectively responsible for the departments of state. The Constitution contains no specification regarding the number of departments (this depends largely on the preferences of individual Taoisigh), and if there are more than fifteen at any time, individual ministers are assigned responsibility for more than one department.

  • Drug Problems and Drug Policies Inireland
    1 Drug Problems and Drug Policies in Ireland: A Quarter of a Century Reviewed SHANE BUTLER Shane Butler is a lecturer in the Department of Social Studies, Trinity College Dublin. INTRODUCTION The recent publication of the Government Strategy to Prevent Drug Misuse twenty years after Ireland’s first major policy document in this area, the 1971 Report of the Working Party on Drug Abuse, suggests that drug problems and policies aimed at their alleviation have now become a permanent feature of Irish society.1 There has, however, been relatively little analysis of this area of Irish social policy and the aim of the present paper is to fill this gap by reviewing the major developments which have taken place over the past twenty five years. Given the lack of a descriptive literature on Irish drug problems and policies, the bulk of this paper will consist of a chronological presentation of material, with the period concerned being broken down into three distinct phases. From an analytical perspective, however, the following four questions will be addressed continuously throughout this historical review. Firstly, how clearly and explicitly have drug problems been defined and which societal institutions have been given ‘ownership’ or responsibility for their prevention and management? This question reflects the international experience that drug problems may be perceived either as health issues, which are legitimately managed by the health care system, or alternatively as criminal matters to be controlled by the criminal justice system. In practice, health care and criminal justice internationally have tended to share responsibility for drug problems; thus drug policy studies which focus on a particular society at a particular time are most likely to be concerned with determining where the balance lies between these contrasting institutional approaches.
