In ad- dition, last week the Government chief information officer held a joint sectoral meeting with the ICT and business transformation leaders’ group from the Department of Health, the HSE, An Garda Síochána, the Department of Education and Skills and the Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government to look at opportunities for joint working across the broader public service� 327 Dáil Éireann The key deliverables which can and should be progressed on a State-wide basis include a first version of a Government digital services gateway, a Government data centre strategy, an open data initiative, the development of common services for Departments and a formal plan for adoption of the use of MyGovID to enable citizen access to public services� The Deputy may also wish to note that many of these actions, particularly the development of MyGovID and the digital services gateway, are encapsulated in the egovernment strategy launched in June and align very well with European Commission developments such as the digital Single Mar- ket, the egovernment action plan and the general data protection regulation, GDPR. It is expected that the Department will have spent €19�1 million in implementing the strat- egy between 2015 and the end of this year� The expenditure represents both current and capital investment in building and supporting a range of infrastructures such as the Government net- works service,

    European Community No. 26/1984 July 10, 1984 Contact: Ella Krucoff (202) 862-9540 THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT: 1984 ELECTION RESULTS :The newly elected European Parliament - the second to be chosen directly by European voters -- began its five-year term last month with an inaugural session in Strasbourg~ France. The Parliament elected Pierre Pflimlin, a French Christian Democrat, as its new president. Pflimlin, a parliamentarian since 1979, is a former Prime Minister of France and ex-mayor of Strasbourg. Be succeeds Pieter Dankert, a Dutch Socialist, who came in second in the presidential vote this time around. The new assembly quickly exercised one of its major powers -- final say over the European Community budget -- by blocking payment of a L983 budget rebate to the United Kingdom. The rebate had been approved by Community leaders as part of an overall plan to resolve the E.C.'s financial problems. The Parliament froze the rebate after the U.K. opposed a plan for covering a 1984 budget shortfall during a July Council of Ministers meeting. The issue will be discussed again in September by E.C. institutions. Garret FitzGerald, Prime Minister of Ireland, outlined for the Parliament the goals of Ireland's six-month presidency of the E.C. Council. Be urged the representatives to continue working for a more unified Europe in which "free movement of people and goods" is a reality, and he called for more "intensified common action" to fight unemployment. Be said European politicians must work to bolster the public's faith in the E.C., noting that budget problems and inter-governmental "wrangles" have overshadolted the Community's benefits.

  • Obstacles to Women's Political Participation in Ireland*
    The Economic and Social Review, Vol. 18, .No. 3, April, 1987, 189-214. Bishops and Bailiwicks: Obstacles to Women's Political Participation in Ireland* VICKY RANDALL Polytechnic of Central London AILBHE SMYTH University College Dublin Abstract: Women are a small minority of political office-holders in Ireland as elsewhere. The authors I list provide details of women's representation in different political arenas, before proceeding to identify the principal determinants ol women's willingness to seek ollice — socialisation, domestic constrain Is and access lo appropriate educational and professional qualifications — and the institutional barriers they encounter. Two features of particular relevance in Ireland are the impact of Roman Catholicism on political culture and the role of localism in parly politics. So long as ihese retain their hold there is little prospect of a drama lie increase in women's political representation. I INTRODUCTION ery few women achieve high political office in Ireland. This Vfact may be familiar but the reasons are less so. Yet the relative absence of women from the public political arena is likely to be of considerable consequence for the representation of their interests as well as constituting an important feature of the (male dominated) Irish political system. In this article we shall point to some of the key determinants of women's political participa­ tion, of their willingness to stand for office and of their chances of success. Such an analysis should contribute to a better understanding of how women have been excluded from the public political domain. To date specifically Irish source materials are in limited supply (but see Barnes, 1975; Manning, 1978; Carty, 1980; Laffan, 1981; Tansey, 1984; Smyth, 1985).
